Planning Our Next BIG Adventure:

🚧 TikTok Didn’t Tell Us / This Week’s Freak Out 

Finding random pools of water in the camper can happen! 

The kitchen sink faucet ended up leaking when we were dripping water on a cold night. Luckily, there was a trashcan to catch it!

Enjoy the scent of candles without the fear of an open flame in the camper with a candle warmer!

🚚 Planning for our grand adventure

We’re planning our next big adventure and walking through how we’re thinking about it.

The big factors are cost, route, schedule, and a few real-world constraints.

Cost

• Estimating campground fees, fuel, and general travel costs. It’s looking like $12–15k on paper, but realistically closer to $20k once surprises hit.
• State parks could be cheaper, but size limits, lack of hookups, and longer stays might make that impractical.
• We won’t have normal living expenses for 7–8 months (~$1,400/month), so overall it may balance out more than it seems.

Route

• Mapping a route that hits places we want to see without requiring multi-day driving stretches.
• Planning one big westward trip rather than multiple crossings, while avoiding moving every few days.
• Timing locations around weather so we’re not stuck in brutal heat at the wrong time.

Schedule

• Likely starting in April, with existing plans in Tennessee anchoring the beginning.
• Need to be back in Tybee Island by Thanksgiving, which sets the outer boundary.
• Goal is to stay at least a week per stop to keep things sustainable.

Other considerations

• Vy’s job situation.
• Whether our current camper is sufficient, even though the temptation to size up is real.
• Logistics like driving regulations across states and organizing everything. 
• Yes, this is going in Trello (obvi)!

🐶 Pet Drama Report

Levi has grown accustomed to a particular treat schedule and is now very opinionated about it.

❓ Random Question of the Week

What is the weirdest place you’ve had a “This is my life now” moment? 

• Brittany: Recently whenever thawing out the sewer hose, or any time having to think about how the temperature outside will affect the camper’s pipes.  
• Vy: Whenever using the commode, because that is a whole new and different experience.
