The Unexpected Joys of Traveling in a Motorhome

Ron and Jodi have discovered that camping is more than just travel—it is about community. Ron and Jodi started camping seven years ago in their Entegra Coach Vision XL after becoming empty nesters and finding a love for participating in events and attending festivals in their motorhome.

One of the greatest surprises of this lifestyle has been meeting incredible people and making friends across the country. This community is warm and welcoming, turning fellow travelers into lifelong friends. Additionally, traveling by their motorhome gives them the opportunity immerse themselves in each location, learning more about its history, culture, and natural beauty.

Exploring the Most Breathtaking Destinations

The couple has explored many remarkable places, but the Pacific Northwest holds a special place in their hearts. They are captivated by the region’s diverse climates and landscapes. Olympic National Park stands out as one of their favorite destinations, featuring one of the few rainforests on the continent. They have also been awed by the towering Redwoods, the majestic peaks of the Grand Tetons, and the abundant wildlife of Yellowstone National Park. Every journey brings new sights and experiences that fuel their love for adventure.

Exciting Destinations on the Horizon

Looking ahead, Ron and Jodi are thrilled about their upcoming travels. This year, they plan to visit the stunning National Parks of Utah and New Mexico. One of the highlights they are eagerly anticipating is the Albuquerque Balloon Festival, an event known for its vibrant, colorful displays and breathtaking views. In the years to come, they aim to extend their travels to the eastern regions of the United States, continuing their journey of discovery.

Moments That Make the Road Special

While every day on the road is memorable, some moments truly stand out. For Ron and Jodi, the most remarkable days are the ones that make them say “wow.” Whether it is driving through the mountains and taking in the awe-inspiring landscapes through the windshield or unwinding in a remote campsite with a stunning view from their camp chair, these experiences make this lifestyle truly extraordinary.

The Wildest Encounters on the Road

One of the craziest experiences they’ve had while traveling was witnessing a mama bear and her cubs fishing along the river at their campground. They watched as the bears caught salmon straight from the water and fed on the bank—a rare and incredible sight that left them in awe of nature’s beauty.

Unforgettable Funny Moments

After six years of camping, even seasoned travelers like Ron and Jodi have their mishaps. Once, they left a campsite with their awning still out, mistaking friendly waves for goodbyes. It wasn’t until one particularly frantic camper waved more seriously that they realized the mistake—just in time to stop short of hitting a tree!

A Day in the Life on the Road

A typical day on their journey starts with a fresh cup of coffee and a moment of gratitude. They discuss how they will appreciate the day ahead and make the most of every experience. Whether hiking, biking, or driving to discover something new, every day brings an opportunity for adventure and learning.

Why They Chose this Lifestyle

For Ron and Jodi, the motivation to embrace traveling came down to one simple truth—life is short. Too many people talk about traveling but never take the leap. They have seen friends and loved ones pass away without ever exploring beyond their hometowns. Travel starts with a single step, and fear should never hold someone back from experiencing the world.

Advice for Aspiring New Travelers

For those hesitant about this lifestyle, Ron and Jodi have one piece of advice: just do it. Start small—rent or borrow a camper to try it out. They believe that once someone experiences the freedom and adventure of this lifestyle they will realize just how easy it is. The community you experience is supportive on the road, always ready to lend a hand or offer a friendly wave. They have never been at a campground where someone didn’t come by to say hello or offer help.

Follow the Journey

Ron and Jodi share their adventures with the world through their social media platforms and website. From stunning landscapes to behind-the-scenes glimpses of life, their content inspires others to embrace the road and explore new places.
