Chase & Lindsay Garrett of We’re Out ‘N About
RV Make & Model:
2023 Keystone Fuzion 424 and 2019 Travel Lite 625 Truck Camper
How many years have you spent RVing?
5 years full-time but we’ve both RVed our entire life with our families.
About Chase & Lindsay
We decided to take our career as ICU nurses on the road by becoming traveling nurses. Since we both grew up RVing and loved the lifestyle, we knew it was the only way we’d want to travel! We’ve been full-timing for almost 5 years & have no intentions of stopping. We actually just upgraded our 30-foot travel trailer to a 45-foot toy hauler since we’re so invested in the freedoms this way of life brings. We love that we’re able to live our lives to the fullest while experiencing everything the country has to offer from the comfort of our own home!

What are your 2023 RV Plans?
We’re continuing to full-time! We’re currently being snowbirds in southern Arizona. We’re hoping to explore the west coast & Pacific Northwest in 2023!

This is our second time RV living. So far, four months this time around!
About Dan & Samantha
We work for ourselves and love to travel. It was a good transition between renting and building our home! We love the family time and being in a different state whenever we want.

Kirsten Trout of Kirs and Devin Fifth Wheel Living
RV Make & Model:
2020 Riverstone 391FSK
How many years have you spent RVing?
5 years.
About Kirs & Devin
My husband Devin and I started fifth wheel living full-time on January 1, 2018. We wanted to move to Nashville, but the housing prices and apartment prices were so high (and still are high) that we couldn’t afford to move to Nashville. [We] would be moving to Nashville just to pay rent. My husband showed me the RV living option, and I fell in love with the lifestyle. It’s just like a tiny house but more affordable. We were only going to do it for a year while we looked for a house, but that was five years ago. We fell in love with the lifestyle and the freedoms that have come from it.

Amanda & David Boles of The Rollin’ Boles
RV Make & Model:
2005 Tiffin Phaeton 40QDH
How many years have you spent RVing?
5 years.
About Amanda & David
We started RVing with a 19-foot travel trailer that we absolutely loved. We had recently built our dream home in Nashville on five acres but quickly realized we preferred RVing over being stationary. So we sold everything, went full-time in a bigger rig, and haven’t looked back since!
We have been full-time RVing for five years, and we absolutely love it. We love waking up to a new backyard and always having our upcoming travel plans to look forward to. It’s allowed us to explore more of this beautiful country than ever before. We enjoy being able to meet new people and visit friends and family all over the country. We get to experience new adventures every day, and we wouldn’t trade RV life for anything!

James & Stefany Adinaro of The Fit RV
RV Make & Model:
How many years have you spent RVing?
About 13 years.
About James & Stefany
We initially saw RVing as a more comfortable way to participate in cycling and running events (hot meals and no port-a-johns for us!). But once we had the RV, we realized the easier and more comfortable way to see the country that RVing gave us. We haven’t been through a TSA line in years now!
We also love that RVing gives us an easy way to travel with our (reluctant) adventure cat, Mel. That cat has seen more than most non-RVers see in a lifetime.

Jenny Anderson of Girl of 10,000 Lakes
RV Make & Model:
How many years have you spent RVing?
5 years.
About Jenny
Our RV journey didn’t begin on the road. It actually started on the ice on the frozen lakes of Minnesota. We started RVing because we wanted a way to go ice fishing while sleeping on the lake to maximize our time on the ice. Winters in Minnesota can feel long, but having a fish house RV has completely changed that. Winter can’t be long enough! And during the warmer months, we love RVing in our retro-style RV, which we call the Peppermint Patty. Both RVs have allowed us to camp and travel with our family comfortably, no matter the season.

Tara Burnett of Tara’s Tiny Trailer
RV Make & Model:
How many years have you spent RVing?
My childhood was spent in giant motor homes! Just got my own RV about 2 years ago!
About Tara
Growing up in Washington state, my family and I traveled the west coast in our RV. I loved how it felt to embark on journeys to new destinations, discover fun roadside attractions, delight in terrific local food, and, best of all, set up and hang out together at the campsite, where we would get to know other interesting campers. I hope to provide my kids with memories of camping as well!

Keith & Tia Sims of Soulful RV Family
Keith and Tia are a semi-retired couple in their 40s with 6 kids.
About Keith and Tia
The Soulful RV Family lives a slightly different lifestyle than many RVers. The Sims are based in the Atlanta area, but Keith spends 5 months out of the year working for the NFL’s Miami Dolphins and needs to be located near their facilities.
Rather than spending those 5 months in Miami living out of a hotel or trying to furnish an apartment that would rarely be used, they opted to invest in a Class A motorhome that they could use for family vacations as well.
