First Shakedown Trip In Our 34 Year Old RV!
Wild RV Life
View ChannelAbout
We’re Victoria & Craig, full-time RVers of 4+ years. Here's our story: We’ve always loved adventure, change, and a good challenge. Married since 2012, we sold our house in 2021, bought an old fifth wheel (that we renovated ourselves), and hit the road full time. Since then, we’ve traveled the entire U.S. (from Baja to Alaska), learned to live off-grid, bought a new Brinkley RV, and took it places we probably shouldn’t have. Then, because we like a challenge, we took on our biggest DIY project yet: rebuilding a 34-year-old motorhome for an epic road trip. You might find us anywhere...from broken down on the side of the road in our DIY project to living the RV resort life in our fifth wheel. We like to keep folks guessing (including ourselves!). Our goal is to show what real life looks like when you actually live out your “what ifs”, the good, the bad, and everything in between. And our hope is that it inspires you to chase some of your “what ifs,” too.

In 2021, we realized life was too short to wait to chase our dreams, so we purchased a used fifth wheel camper and completely renovated it. After selling our house in Florida, we set off on our journey as full-time RVers. Full time RV living has taken us across the United States, Baja Mexico, and Canada, where we’ve fallen in love with boondocking in stunning locations and living an epic adventure travel lifestyle. In 2023, we upgraded to a brand new Brinkley RV Model Z 3100. Join us as we explore new destinations and embark on new adventures. From hiking, rock climbing, and paddle boarding to surfing, off-road exploring, and cooking around a campfire, we live our travel couple lifestyle to the fullest!
