The Journey Begins: From Baseball Games to Full-Time Adventure

Brett and Tammy Schuler’s love for camping began back in 2000 when they purchased their first Class A Motorhome—a used 1999 model. Their motivation? A deep-rooted passion for St. Louis Cardinals baseball and a desire to avoid the hassle of hotels and pet sitters. After experiencing the convenience and comfort of having their own space at games, there was no turning back. Fast forward to today, and they are on their fourth motorhome, a stunning 2022 Entegra Coach Aspire 44D, lovingly known as “Max” for maximum fun!

Comfort, Convenience, and a Home on Wheels

For the Schulers, hotels have never quite measured up to the cleanliness and comfort of their own motorhome. Brett, a light sleeper, dreaded noisy hallways and slamming doors. With their motorhome, they always have their own bed, kitchen, and bathroom, making travel infinitely more enjoyable.

One of the biggest perks? Bringing their dogs along for the ride! Unlike hotel stays, which can be stressful for pets, their motorhome provides a familiar, calming environment no matter where their adventures take them.

This lifestyle has also revolutionized how they approach travel. Gone are the days of meticulous planning and rigid itineraries. Now, if they need a break, they simply pull over, rest in their own bed, and continue when they’re ready. The ability to cook their own meals and freshen up on the road has been a game-changer, especially when traveling with their daughter during her younger years.

Balancing Work and Play on the Road

The Schulers have embraced a work-life balance that many only dream of. With remote work becoming the normal, they have designed a fully functional mobile office within their motorhome. Brett uses a tri-monitor setup on his laptop, ensuring he remains as productive on the road as he would be in a traditional office setting. The best part? Knowing their equipment is secure inside Max when they step out to explore.

Memorable Destinations and Future Adventures

Over the years, the Schulers have explored breathtaking locations, from the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone to the Tetons and the stunning landscapes of Colorado. They’ve also fallen in love with Florida’s coastal charm and the tranquility of small-town America, where life slows down and the simple joys—like a crackling campfire under the stars—take center stage.

Looking ahead, they can’t wait to venture back out west, particularly to Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming. They firmly believe that you can’t truly appreciate the beauty of the United States from an airplane—you have to experience it one mile at a time.

A Day in the Life on the Road

The Schulers’ travel style is flexible yet structured. They keep their coach stocked and ready to go at all times, needing only to pack food before hitting the road. Their trips vary from weekend getaways to longer excursions, often combining work and play. Whether it is a quick Nashville trip for live country music or a peaceful beachside retreat, their lifestyle offers endless possibilities.

During travel days, they tend to drive straight through to their destination, switching off behind the wheel. However, if an interesting stop presents itself, they don’t hesitate to take a detour and soak in the experience.

Tips for Aspiring Coach Owners

• Do your research – Attend shows like in Tampa, FL or Hershey, PA, follow manufacturers, and join camping-related groups.

Ultimate Lifestyle Choice

For the Schulers, this lifestyle is about more than just travel—it is about truly experiencing life. They’ve discovered that the world is full of hidden gems, from small-town treasures to breathtaking natural wonders. The ability to wake up in a new, beautiful location while still enjoying all the comforts of home is something they cherish deeply.

With Max, they are living life on their own terms, embracing the open road, and making memories that will last a lifetime. Whether it’s beachside mornings, mountain hikes, or city escapades, one thing is for sure—the adventure never stops for Brett and Tammy Schuler.
