Getting to Know Xscapers, Organization for Working Age RVers

October 19, 2015 by BrittanyHighland 1 Comment

Xscapers Convergence in Albuquerque

We left the day before this picture was taken, but we did have THIS much fun!

There are numerous membership programs for RVers, each with their own perks. Signing up for all of them is budget suicide, but deciding which ones are right for you can save a lot of headaches. To date, we’ve signed up [Read more…]

RVillage: Platform for RVers We Use Daily

March 13, 2015 by Eric Highland Leave a Comment

RVillage Logo

To be honest, whenever someone tells us about a new online platform, page or group for RVers, we kind of wince and half heartedly agree to take a look. It’s not that we’re too cool for school, believe me. It’s just that we’re already a member of so many, and most of them we hardly ever use.

Hey, it isn’t personal, we just have a life to live and we don’t want to always be online if you know what I mean. After all, we’re supposed to be out exploring the country, right?

So Many Platforms, So Little Time

But this wasn’t always the case. When we first started full time RVing just over a year ago, we tried to be involved in every group, page and platform we could. [Read more…]

Building Friendships When You Live in an RV

September 6, 2014 by Eric Highland 6 Comments

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art… It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that gives value to survival.
-C.S. Lewis

As full-time RVers, we’re often asked, “What is the most difficult thing about full-time RVing?”

I could easily make a list of our standard answers. But one that we feel merits discussion, is building friendships when you live in an RV full time.

Eric and Brittany Highland with Ryan and Michele Newbrough

Our newest RV friends Ryan and Michele Newbrough. We’ve been talking for months and finally met up in Virginia Beach. We’ve already gone out twice and have a third time planned before we leave the area.

We start with the premise that friendship is usually predicated on the fact that you spend time in person with those whom you call friends. [Read more…]

Best RV Forums and Blogs We’ve Found So Far

January 4, 2014 by Eric Highland 8 Comments

The last few nights have been restless. My stomach is in knots, my mind is running at max capacity, and yet we move forward.

With no practical experience whatsoever, we’re selling most everything we own and moving into a 2003 40’ long Phaeton Class A Diesel Pusher RV by Tiffin Motorhomes.

Truth be told, I really don’t know how the RV starts and there is some random lever on the left of the driver’s seat that when you pull it up makes this whooosh sound, much like the big Greyhound buses. Oh yeah, and there is that ominous cut-off switch near the door that seems rather important. ~shifts eyes~

As you can tell, we’re truly starting in a complete state of ignorance. As of this writing, we literally know nothing but what we’ve read online. (We don’t even have an owners manual as we got a used RV that was missing one.)

Thankfully, we’ve found the RV online community to be beyond helpful. Specifically in the areas of forums and blogs. [Read more…]
