Our Journey

Start Here: If you’re new, this is the best place to start our journey.

Welcome to Our Way Ahead—our RV Reality Check series is following our transition to full-time RV living. And this is where it starts to get real.

We’re in the messy middle of downsizing our entire life—going through years of memories, making tough decisions, and realizing this is a lot harder than we expected.

If you’ve ever thought about RV life, this is the part no one talks about.

POV: You let the dog plan the campground cookout… and now the squirrel is questioning every life choice. 😂🐶🔥🐿️ Camping is always better with a little chaos. #CampingDogs #RVLife #FunnyDogs #CampingHumor #DogLife #CampgroundFun
This Dog Shouldn't Be Near a Grill 😭🔥 #FunnyDogs #Disaster
Not every RV day has to be busy. Sometimes it’s just coffee in the morning, a quiet little reset, and ending the day with a sunset and campfire. These are the simple moments that make RV life feel worth it. #RVLife #SundayVibes #SlowSunday #CampingLife #RVLiving #CampfireNights #RVAdventures #WeekendCamping #CampgroundLife #RelaxingVideo #CozyCamping

Every “simple” RV project turns into a full-day adventure. We went to Lowe’s for the basics, spent $230, forgot trash bags on the first trip, and somehow ended up spreading 8,000 sq ft worth of grass seed on the lot. Overkill? Absolutely. Now we’re just hoping the local birds don’t treat our entire investment like an all-you-can-eat buffet. Subscribe to follow the journey and see if our stationary RV lot actually turns green.

RV Lot Prep Begins… Did We Just Buy the Birds a $230 Lunch?
We thought prepping the RV lot was going to be simple. A quick Lowe’s run, some seed, some water, a little cleanup… easy enough, right? Not exactly. Tomorrow’s new video shows where the real work begins — prepping the lot, seeding, cleaning up, and realizing once again that every “simple” RV project somehow turns into a bigger adventure. Have you ever started a small outdoor project and quickly realized it was going to be way more work than planned? New video goes live tomorrow at 9 AM.

Lowe's haul turned into a FULL DAY project 😅 #rvlife #diy #fail
Have you ever pulled into a campsite thinking the site looked good, unhooked, and then realized during auto-level that your wheels were coming off the ground? Yeah… it’s happened to us too. The campsite looked fine until it didn’t. One thing we’re learning fast is that leveling is not just about comfort. It affects how stable the RV feels, how far the jacks extend, and how smooth setup goes once you’re parked. Good leveling gear makes a big difference, especially when the site looks fine at first glance but the gravel tells a different story. These are the Andersen leveling and stabilizing products we’re using: Andersen Camper Leveler System: https://amzn.to/4ulsjuX Andersen 4" Jack Block with Magnets: https://amzn.to/4djyucQ Andersen Auto-Level Stabilizing Kit: https://amzn.to/3R8D6dc Subscribe to our YouTube channel for more real RV lessons, mistakes, and full-time RV life updates: https://www.youtube.com/@ourwayahead (We may earn a small commission if you purchase through our link.
