We often get asked, "How do you afford campgrounds, they are $80-100/night!?!"

Well, sure, some can be. But we have paid, on average in our 3 years of full-time RV living $7.42/night.

That's a monthly "rent" including electric, water and sewage of $215/mo.

$215 a month!!!

And, our front yard view is constantly changing from mountains to forests, to being steps from the ocean.

How?

Thousand Trails.

And, this isn't just for full-time RVers, it is great for weekend campers.

YOU are going to want to add these items to your RV ASAP!

1 - Water Filter System and Water Softener from

- stop wasting all those plastic water bottles and drink from your tap!!

2. Air Purifier and Dehumidifier

- we use this air purifier from and it works great! We don’t have to worry about that smoky smell from neighbors campfires!

- we also use a large dehumidifier to help keep mold from growing inside of our RV!

3. Washer / Dryer combo unit

- this was a deal breaker for us. We HAD to have a vented washer / dryer combo unit for our RV! It works great and actually dries our clothes!

4. Cargo Slideout Trays from

- we waited 2 years to add this upgrade and wish we did it sooner!! We were afraid we would lose space but it’s the complete opposite!!

5. Rubber Pin Box from

- ok, this has probably made the biggest difference of all of our upgrades! Our RV came with your basic, generic pin box and would buck and chuck all the way down the road…not anymore. Our towing days are super smooth and we have been on some bad roads!

If you would like additional info or discounts on any of these products just comment below with which one and we will send to you!!

Hello!! We wanted to reintroduce ourselves since we have gotten some new followers here - thank you!

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 both work remotely as content creators and travel agents. Chris also does freelance Sales work!

We travel full-time in our 2022 Grand Design Solitude 3950BH-R! We primarily stay at full hook up campgrounds, but in 2024 we are making some upgrades to our rig to allow us to boondock and be off-grid more frequently!🌌

We are so grateful and appreciative to have you here with us!

Chris worked remotely as a Mortgage Consultant for the first year and a half of our travels. In Dec. 2022 Chris lost his job and we decided to go full-time on this social media / content creation stuff! Along with that we also own a travel agency!

This was our first time visiting any type of National Park or anything within the National Park System.

It was the first time we were able to use our National Park Access pass!

This was taken on August 7, 2021 just less than a month into our full-time RV journey!

Fast forward to now and we have visited only 12 actual National Parks, but over 50 locations in the National Park system (National monuments, libraries, battlefields, etc).

We have our route planned for 2024 and we plan on knocking off at least 20 more National Parks this year!

Comment below how many National Parks you have been to so far 👇👇

Living in an RV can feel tight at times.

That’s why we love to enjoy time outside as a family, but there were 2 things that irritated us about sitting outside.

1. The sandy, muddy, buggy campsites we have to sit in

2. The ugly, boring same old mats at every campsites.

That is exactly why we love our .glamplife outdoor mat!

Glamplife outdoor mats are

✅ Durable
✅ Cute, unique designs
✅ Sustainable and eco-friendly

If you’re tired of the same old outdoor mat designs and ones that are difficult to keep clean, then you also need a Glamplife mat!

These were a couple of the most nerve racking, scariest days of our lives!

June 5, 2021 - We left our home in PA to drive 2.5 hours to MD to pick up our custom ordered 2021 RAM 3500 Dually!

Why did we have to drive to Maryland? Well, there were no other trucks available and this was the only dealership that could get us a truck delivered in time to pick up our RV in August.....well, we thought August!

Chris had NEVER driven a truck before. Our Jeep Compass was the largest vehicle he had ever driven up to this point.

And now, he had to drive 2.5 hours through windy backroads and then major highways with the largest vehicle he has ever seen!

True Story - about 15 minutes into picking up the truck Chris called me and said, “I can’t do this. I’m just turning back and returning the truck. This is too much. We made a mistake!”

I talked him down, and we made it home and then he said, “It wasn’t that bad then.”

Fast forward a month....

July 13, 2021 - Not only was this day our 8th wedding anniversary, it’s also the day that our RV is ready for pickup! We were given a call 3 days prior saying, hey, your RV came in a month early and is ready for pickup, you have to pick it up within 72 hours!

The panic set in for Chris!

Well, in photo 2 here we are all hitched up for the very first time and Chris never towing anything in his life, was very anxious, having a panic attack, but was able to figure it all out.

In photo 3, here we are at our very first campsite and unloading the truck and starting to put everything into the RV!

Only Chris spent that first night in the RV just so he could get it prepared for us all the next day.

The girls and I came to the RV first thing in the morning on July 14, 2021 and that was the end of our old life and the beginning of our new life.

Why did we type this long message?

Well, if you are struggling with the decision to do more with your life but you are afraid, don’t be, you will be fine, trust us!

So, let today be the day that You Create Your Own Detour!

Hey everyone! We are Type1Detour!

We are Chris and Amanda and our soon to be 9 yr old and 4.5 year old.

Chris and our oldest daughter both live with Type 1 Diabetes. Chris was diagnosed 20 years ago this April and our daughter is coming up on 5 years!

We knew we wanted to travel but we never knew traveling full-time could be a thing, especially with two of us living with a chronic disease!

Well, here we are 2.5 years later and no end of traveling in sight!!

Traveling full-time has allowed us to do things that we otherwise wouldn’t have been able to.

We recently had the opportunity to attend a bowling event put on by Touched By Type 1 which is a non-profit dedicated to helping find a cure and connect those with Type 1 Diabetes. We have attended multiple Zoom meetings and virtual events with this organization and finally had the chance to do something in person!
We are here to tell you and show you that you can do this.

If you feel like you have something holding you back, it doesn’t have to. Start today to make that change.

Let today be the day that you Create Your Own Detour!!

Hey everyone.....We are Type1Detour!! 👋🏻

From top to bottom that is Chris, Amanda, our almost 9 yr old and our 4.5 year old.

We have been living full-time in this 2022 Grand Design Solitude 3950BH-R for almost 3 years. We NEVER owned an RV or camped as a family once! We had only taken a few road trips as a family!!

We decided to take the leap and just jump all in and buy the biggest truck we could find and a 40’ fifth wheel!

Did we mention that Chris had never driven a truck before, let alone tow anything!!

Normal or silly - let us know in the comments which photo you saw first!

Also, drop us a question that you may have about living full-time in an RV!

We would love for you to come hang out with us!
