  6. Most full-time RVers quit within 3 months — not because they didn't love it, but because nobody warned them.

    After 8 years as a certified RV tech, here's the real talk:

    1️⃣ Your RV wasn't built for daily living
    2️⃣ Pre-trip checks save thousands
    3️⃣ Find a trusted mobile tech BEFORE you need one
    4️⃣ Budget for maintenance, not just campsites
    5️⃣ Community keeps you going when gear fails

  7. Had to deal with a poopsicle on our RV today. If you’re not familiar with the term, it’s a frozen sewer hose. Ours is heated, but we’ve been lazy and leaving the valves open rather than jumping once a week or so. The slow steady flow combined with the prolonged cold spell (the average temperature here, day and night, has been just 17°F for the whole of January) caused it.

    It was just about has much fun to deal with as you can imagine. We’ll fill and dump now.

  8. And to make things worse, you cannot buy an exact replacement for it. All the new ones have a different form factor (landscape vs portrait) and given the tight space ours was installed in, it means the only way it will fit is if I rotate it 90°.

    Functionally it'll work just fine, but aesthetically a total mess.

    After 7 years of RV full-time RV living I should be used to it by now, but why are so many RV products just so terrible?

  9. It’s so hot in the RV today, I tried to fry an egg on the counter. The egg said no. Said it’s union and doesn’t work past 90 degrees.

  10. Things we absolutely don't have space for in our RV: a dishwasher.

    Things that arrived today: a dishwasher.

    It is definitely bigger than I thought it would be. But in my defense, I _really_ hate washing up so I think I'm OK with it....

  11. It’s 4°F (-16°C) here this morning. For context, that’s a little warmer than our big freezer, and a little cooler than our RV freezer right now.

  12. Skirting is on the RV, and I think we're ready for winter now! We've used 2" XPS foam board like this for the past few years and it's always worked well.

    Each year we've been able to use up the foam board in building projects, so nothing goes to waste. But next year we might leave this on and just add some ventilation as it should help keep mice out of the RV - it's sealed up _really_ tight right now!

  17. Now the building roof is complete, we’re turning our focus to winterizing the property and our RV.

    This means adding foam board skirting around the RV, putting away various tools, outdoor furniture and the grill, tidying up a few fallen trees on our forest trails, installing reflective driveway marker fiberglass poles for the snow plow and a bunch of other tasks.

    We’re also expecting the delivery of our exterior insulation boards today - our next project.

  18. Also decided to replace the electric heating element in our RV water heater. Here’s the old one next to the new one. The old one was working fine, despite its looks, so technically didn’t need replacing but I feel like that buildup must be impacting its effectiveness. The replacement cost $18.

    We do replace the anode rod regularly, and scoping the tank looked fine. This is after 6 years of full time use so not too surprising.

  20. Getting our RV ready for winter (we’ve been living in it 6+ years at this point, and this’ll be our 3rd Vermont winter in the RV) and one of the maintenance tasks was to fix the recently broken MaxxAir fan. Somehow this gear component which attaches to the motor shaft to raise the fan lid had, well, essentially exploded. This is made of metal!

    Fortunately a replacement part was only around $30 and easily installed.

  24. It always confuses me when I hear about people joining the #fulltimerv #RVcommunity to "get out of the rat race" but then just commit to the same keeping up with the neighbors that they complained about in the suburbs 🤷‍♂️

    Seems really hard for some folks to be content with what they have. That's the only way you'll ever stop chasing the next great thing.

  25. Chilly and soggy morning in Southern Utah. We enjoyed blue skies and temps near 60 when the rest of the country was frozen. Guess this is our payback 😅😭

  26. Nice! One of my photos is a contestant in the rvtravel.com photo contest. If you’d be so kind to take a moment and vote for it, I’d appreciate it!!!

    It’s the milky way one.

  27. Doing #freelance #MusicProduction work from an #RV while also traveling full-time can be tricky, but the teardown and setup process has become easier the more I've done it. Here is what that looks like!
