Our Beginning Itinerary - Where We Will Wanderr...
It’s one thing to plan a vacation.
It’s a whole other thing to plan a year+ long road trip in an RV all across the United States.
Maybe this is a no-brainer to you, but we didn’t really think through the fact that we literally have to plan every single night’s stay for the entire time we are gone.
In addition to that, it’s a whole new language we’re having to learn…
Pull throughs.
50 AMPs.
Full hook ups.
Steering Stabilizers.
Chocks.
Black tank.
Grey tank.
Do they make a book called “RVing for Dummies”? (actually, we researched it and they do - whoop!!)
Now that we’re feeling a bit more familiar with the lingo, we’ve started calling RV Parks trying to act - at least somewhat - like we know what we’re doing.
But, here’s the other thing we’re learning…
According to the 2021 Go RVing RV Owner Demographic Profile Study, RV ownership has increased over 62% in the last twenty years with a record 11.2 million RV owning households.
This is exciting because it means more people are getting outdoors, but it also means that RV Park spaces are filling up really fast.
There are not enough spaces to meet the demand.
Yikes.
That, translated for us, means we have to plan and reserve our spots far in advance.
So, here’s what we’ve got confirmed to date.
We officially push off on this voyage with Olive on May 11th.
Oh, and one more thing, everyone says that because of how intense it is to drive an RV, it's best to now drive more than 5 (or so) hours per day.
So that means we need to also plan stops midway to break up our longer jaunts.
Phew.
It sure is a lot to think about.
But, without any further ado… here’s what we’ve got so far.
If we’re coming anywhere close to you (or someone you think we should meet), please reach out - we'd love to connect!!
xoxo,
Jules + Stace 💙

Welcome to the Florida ‘Panhandle’. Once you get a Camp Site, and get ‘set up’; …… send me an email with your email an ph #, so we can setup a time for me to drop off some ‘Water Toys’.
So excited for you two. What an adventure! The Doyle’s, Moon’s, and Freeman’s all live in Fort Walton Beach, not far from 30-A. We’d love to visit with you.
30A is a nice place for a ‘stop’ (5-20 Jun), you’ll have a great time. I have some ‘water toys’ that you can use during your stay, if you like. I can bring my Inflatable ‘Bote ROVER’, my Inflatable Bote LONO, (Kayak / i-SUP), my Bote i-SUP ‘Zeppelin (now called the Bote ’Aero Rackham’), a HOBIE ‘Mirage Eclipse’, ‘Stepper SUP’, and another generic i-SUP. I have used the WANDERR to transport these to the water, …… and used it to ‘relax’ on the boards, …. and my Bote ‘Inflatable “DOCK”. Great ’parners’ for the WANDERR !!! BOTE is a local company (Destin-FT Walton Beach). You might want to ‘check them out’, during your visit ?!?! - https://www.facebook.com/watch/live/?v=479072523150396&ref=watch_permalink -
1st stop Flo-Vegas, yeah baby!
Good luck! Looks like you are on a bit of a tight schedule but considering you’re going to be driving close by Durham, I hope you are able to make a quick pit stop! Please let me know when you’re nearby. Would love to see you two.
