San Francisco is such an iconic American City. Coming into the city from the south our first stop was Fort Funston National Park. It blew us away how windy it was (get it?) There were quite a few hang gliders taking advantage of the powerful wind hitting the coast. They have a lot of paths to the ocean as well as horse paths. Read More
It’s always been on my bucket list to hike through the California redwoods…
And this RV adventure finally gave us that opportunity.
There’s something about standing next to trees that have been here for over 1,000 years that puts everything into perspective.
After spending time along the California coast and navigating some of the more intense driving conditions early in our RV journey, we found ourselves looking for a place to slow things down a bit.
That’s how we ended up in the Morgan Hill area—and it quickly became one of our favorite stops during our early days of full-time RV living.
We stayed at the Morgan Hill RV Resort multiple times, and it checked all the boxes for what you want in a great RV park. Tucked away in the trees, it offered a peaceful, wooded setting with full hookup RV sites, spacious pads, and amenities that made it easy to settle in for more than just a quick overnight stay.

We found this beach from Jon Siemien sending us a link to the top 10 most scenic beaches in the USA. It was a little difficult to find, we stopped at 3 locations and finally had to find a local guy with no teeth to 
give us specific directions. Once we knew the general area of where it was at you can actually see it from the PCH if you know where to look. The view from the PCH was amazing, the beach is even better! Read More
Pinnacles National Park is a climbers playground! My pictures DO NOT do this place justice and I understand why this was made a National Park in 2013. I went here well before sunrise to go hiking, climbing, and caving. I didn’t really know what to expect
but the thing that really surprised me is that I was the only person here. I had the entire National Park to myself! The only other people I saw was a climbing couple who showed up just as I was leaving. Read More
Mistake #37, driving through big sur with a fully loaded RV. Big sur is absolutely beautiful. 
Since we’ve camped here before we opted not to stay in Big Sur but I wanted to drive through it on our way to Santa Cruz. The scenery was epic, but so was the fuel cost!
We stopped at Elephant Seal Beach to watch these massive creatures. I always get a kick out of watching the males fight over the females. They’re loud, close by and fun to watch them on the beach.
We were driving along the mountainside just outside of Big Sur, and it felt like something out of a movie. Towering cliffs on one side, the Pacific Ocean stretching endlessly on the other, and a narrow, winding road that made every mile feel like an adventure. It’s one of the most beautiful RV road trips you can take—but it’s also one that demands a little more respect than you might expect when you’re planning your RV Vacation.
Located about 15 miles outside of Santa Barbara is the city of Solvang. It’s one of the most unique cities I’ve ever been to. All the buildings look Danish and the city is very tourist friendly. They even have an RV parking lot on the main street at the police station…
After navigating the intensity of Southern California traffic in our Class C motorhome, Solvang felt like stepping into a completely different world.
We pulled in and, almost immediately, everything slowed down—in the best way possible.

We were lucky enough to be on the TV show Designing Spaces for our RV. The show will air August 14 and September 19. We went to Rancho Oso RV Park in Santa Barbara. It’s a cool little spot hidden up in the mountains above Santa Barbara just 15 min
from the beach and 10 from the city. We mis-judged the gas guzzler and the light came on just as we were charging up the mountain. We made it and just before the 11 pm cutoff where they lock the gates and don’t allow people in after hours. We got a spot with a great view of the mountains. Read More
We couldn’t imagine not having our car while RVing. Not only does it get around 40 mpg compared to 8 in the RV Sunseeker while pulling our car behind the motorhome but the accessibility to epic locations is the deal breaker for us. After all, what is the point of traveling the country if you don’t get to see the good stuff?
We moved so quickly on buying and getting the RV that we didn’t think about pulling the car until after it. In preparation for the trip we would work every day at our regular jobs and then I’d be up until 12-2am working on doing research and preparing for the trip.
One night my heart sank because I read an article that you can’t “flat tow” a Mazda 3 because it would ruin the front end. Then I found out there are only certain vehicles that you can flat tow which is why you mostly see Jeep Wranglers being pulled behind. Manual rear wheel drive required. Read More
