This is why we chose a queen mattress so we could have some space on the sides of our bed!

Traveling around the country means we end up at random restaurants, diners, and sometimes campgrounds that serve breakfast.
Traveling with 2 people with diabetes also means we have to make some accommodations when we do go out to eat.
When going to breakfast we always bring our own thing of sugar-free syrup because not every place has it.
Or if they do, it doesn’t get used often and has been open for a long time! 🤢
We also use a little bit of agave syrup instead sometimes!

Do NOT make these same mistakes, learn from our lessons!
3 lessons that I’ve learned in 3 full years of traveling full-time.
1. Not everyone will share your same excitement for this lifestyle...but you know what.... who cares! You may not share the same excitement for the things that bring their family joy, but does it matter?
Nope!
Don’t get upset when people don’t share in your excitement.
2. The memories we have created as a family are priceless and worth every minute of the journey.
We always hear “your kids won’t even remember it”..... sure, maybe some things they may not remember, but we can see the excitement and happiness on their face during it.
3. Not everyday is going to be an amazing adventure, some days will be boring, some days will just be laying around the RV. But you know.... it’s totally OK!
I thought that we had to always be on the go, always doing something, always adventuring....but that doesn’t work. You will burn yourself out quickly....very quickly!

Hello!! We are Type1Detour!!
👨👩👧👧 We are Chris, Amanda and our 2 daughters! We sold everything and moved into our RV to travel full-time in July 2021. Before doing that, we had never camped in an RV before....and only tent camped a few times! 🏕️
😬😳 We had no clue what we were doing, but we knew we wanted to do it!
💙💙Chris and our oldest daughter both live with Type 1 Diabetes, so that was a big concern and something that held us back from making the decision to travel full-time for almost a year!
🚐 Luckily, we decided to finally just jump in and figure it out as we went.
⛰️ We travel full-time in our 2022 Grand Design Solitude 3950BH-R! We primarily stay at full hook up campgrounds, but we do enjoy a good short boondocking trip!
🙏🙏 We are so grateful and appreciative to have you here with us!
⬇️⬇️ Please leave a comment with what else you would like to know about us!
😀😀 Thank you again for joining our journey!

Some times we have to get creative for getting mail on the road, but luckily there is an Amazon Locker somewhere nearby.
We utilize these when we want to order some of our favorite foods and snacks that we may not be able to find while we are traveling.
We can usually find these Joy Days cookies at a local Walmart, but when we can’t, Amazon it is!
With having two people living with Type 1 Diabetes in our RV, we try to have as many blood sugar friendly snacks as we can!
Comment “JOY” now to get your cookies!

Here is a tip for buying anything RV related….
In order to buy something for our RV, it needs to pass 1 of our 2 rules..
Rule 1 - must have multiple uses
Rule 2 - must be stackable / nesting or easily storable
So that leads us to our 5 must have RV kitchen items
Nesting mixing / storage bowls - we use these to mix for baking or marinating meats. We then also use them for leftovers. When we are done, they nest and store easily ✅
Nesting colanders - why do we need more than one? Well sometimes we somehow end up using several at a time depending on what we are cooking so these nest and store easily ✅
Ninja Foodi - everyone should own one of these things! It’s in all in one so it is our slow cooker, rice cooker, air fryer, and more! It is large but we have a storage place for it when we’re done, but it has over 10 uses for us! ✅
Collapsible drying rack - finding a place to dry the dishes can be annoying in the RV so this works great! Once the dishes are dry overnight, we put them away, fold the rack back up and store it away so it doesn’t become an eye sore throughout the day! ✅
Electric cooktop - we don’t like cooking with our propane stove (especially when it’s 90+ degrees out) so we use this electric cooktop. We can also take it outside to use it when we want to cook messier things so we don’t ruin our RV kitchen! We simply store it away in our oven (since we have never once used that). ✅
What is one RV kitchen must have for you?

I NEVER thought I’d be living in an RV traveling full-time, yet here I am. 🚐✨
We get these type of comments all the time – the raised eyebrows, the ‘you’re brave!’ comments.
But here’s the truth: life is too short to wait for the “right time.”
Seeing the world through our kids’ eyes, watching them learn and grow from each adventure, and knowing that we’re creating lifelong memories? That’s priceless. 🌎❤️
To all the dreamers, the wanderers, and those who live outside the box – keep going!
What’s one thing you wish you could do right now?
