We Are Full Time RVers

Ian & Melanie

While searching for the meaning of life, we found each other, broke all the rules and decided to live a life with dreams built in!

Starting in 2021, we began traveling the USA full-time in our Grand Design Fifth Wheel with our two kiddos and cat name Bear.

How the Full Time RV Dream Began

We sold our belongings, our cars, and our house. Bought a truck and an RV. Then we hit the road. Learning how to navigate towing an RV, homeschooling, and living life on the road all at the same time. To say it was intimidating is an understatement!

RVing Full-Time with Kids – FAQs

Traveling in an RV, how will your children go to school?

Well, they won’t. We homeschool our children from a mix of curriculums and activities that we put together and online instruction to fill in any gaps.

Did you sell everything to travel full-time in an RV?

Just about! We sold, gave away, or trashed everything we didn’t need. A few boxes are staying with family and the rest we brought with us.

How can you afford to travel in an RV fulltime?

We both still work! Ian is a mobile RV mechanic and also works contract jobs, such as working the beet harvest in North Dakota. Melanie runs a house flipping business, Creo Home Buyers.

When will you quit RV life and go back to “normal?”

Everyone gets to decide what a “normal” life is. That being said, we plan to travel full-time until it no longer fits or feels right. We have no end date!
