Don't miss these steps before towing your RV!
[Sponsored] As full-time RV family, safety is very important. We tow our 40 ft fifth wheel every couple of weeks. Here are 5 things we do before every travel day as part of our safety checklist:
1️⃣ Check tire pressure on all truck and RV tires and fill them all to the proper PSI. Doing this has helped us avoid blowouts on the road. We love our VIAIR Corp. - High Performance Compressors 400P-RV portable compressor. Keep reading for more details and a discount code.
2️⃣ Inspect all tires and RV suspension components.
3️⃣ Check fluids on the truck.
4️⃣ Make sure everything is secured/tied down on the rig.
5️⃣ Tug test to check hitch before leaving.
We've gone through several air compressors over the last 2 years, but they have all broken or can't meet RV demands. We finally upgraded to Viair because they are the only brand making compressors specifically designed for RVs.
Some of our fave features:
✅️ Enhanced Flow technology
✅️ 60-ft total hose to reach all tires
✅️ Gas station style tire inflation gun with 160 PSI gauge
✅️ Carry bag
✅️ Quick to setup and use
✅️ Quiet motor

🛞Our #1 safety tip for RVers: check tire pressure!🛞
Tire pressure is critical for safety, fuel efficiency, and peace of mind on the road. As full-time RVers that tow our home thousands of miles a year, it is extra important that we check our tires often and maintain proper pressure.

Boondocking is just what we needed ✌️
Of course, our problems don't really disappear out here (in fact, sometimes more come up when things go wrong on the RV 🤪). But the extra space and feeling of freedom and being in nature really makes a difference for our whole family.
Do you like boondocking??

These wines are perfect for entertaining, hanging around a campfire, a beach picnic, or a sunset hang with your honey after a long travel day 😉 🥂

Did you know this?? 🇺🇸
If you are a veteran with any level of service-connected disability, you can apply for a Special Access Pass, which allows you to park for free at day-use state parks as well as camp for up to 10 days per month FOR FREE!
We just spent the night in a 50-amp FHU spot with our 41-foot fifth wheel with a ton of space to play and a river in our backyard.
We applied and received our pass within a couple of weeks. We just had to show proof of the disability award from the VA. And the pass is good for 10 years before you have to renew!
My husband's VA disability is our primary source of income and it isn't much! Finding places that support veterans and offer great discounts helps us live this lifestyle.
Should I share more about military and veteran discounts we find or how we camp on a tight budget? Drop any questions below ⬇️

RV Queens Circles open for the last time this year!
If you've thought about joining, don't miss out! Comment QUEENS for a direct link* to join and use code STEPHANEE to save 25% off your monthly membership fee!
RV Queens circles have been a great way for me to meet other women in the RV community that I may not have met otherwise. It has helped me tremendously when we have been away from people for a while to still get that social connection I need.
Women of all ages and stages of life come together to support and connect, and it is amazing. Each month, you get put in a new group on Marco Polo. It is all asynchronous, so it doesn't matter if you are all in different time zones. Come as you are, from wherever you are, whenever you can 🫶. There is also a Discord group for the whole community to communicate.
I have gotten something totally different from each group I have been in so far. Some have been more business-focused, some life-focused, and some have been great for my healing journey!

Here's a little glimpse into August in the PNW...
This will be our last summer in the West for a while, so we're soaking it up. We spent the first part of August with some friends near Seattle, including a BBQ together when other friends came to visit.
We haven't done any big exploring or adventuring because we have been focused on RV projects and preparing for our big trip East this fall. Some seasons are spent adventuring a lot more than others, and that is the reality of travel life!
We have been enjoying the cool mornings/evenings with warm summer days. The kids are spending 90% of their days outside and loving it.
What's something fun you have done this month?

This was a first for us!
Have you ever been in an RV when it is hailing outside? This hail was so big, and it sounded like our roof was going to cave in!
We are from the West Coast and have never seen hail this big!
