Our Grand Design Transcend RV Faves & Why We Decided to Sell It
It's a sad day as we had our last camping trip in our Grand Design Transcend 247bh. We spent the weekend with our Broncos Gone Wild Group at Ol' Florida Off-Road Park's Blueberry Jam. We had a blast and made many memories. This is not the end, just a new chapter will be beginning with hopefully a new Grand Design RV in our future. Check out our affiliate links!

Austin Outdoor Parks and Trails | Barton Creek Greenbelt, Barton Springs, Zilker Park
We start to explore all the outdoor adventures Austin, TX has to offer! First stop is Barton Creek Greenbelt which at first looks to be an easy hike, but looks can sometimes be deceiving. We got lost. When you think of a Natural Spring, you don’t expect the type of setup they have at Barton Springs Pool. Around 800,000 people visit the natural spring every year. Puppy adventure time! We bring the dogs out to Latta Branch Greenway for a hike. It was a perfect plan B. We only went to take some pictures but were pleasantly surprised to see so many people out and about enjoying themselves at Zilker Park. Hang with the dogs, have a catch, listen to some music, ride the bike trial or do some kayaking. Zilker Park has it all. Our last stop was not far from our RV Park. Walter E. Long Lake is a beautiful place to catch a sunset!
RV Texas (San Antonio) | Riverwalk & The Alamo
We make a trip in our RV to San Antonio for Halloween. But first we make a stop in the Hill Country of Texas. The Blue Bonnet Cafe is nationally recognized for its pies! You know what pairs well with rosé? Disc golf! We go to Flat Creek Winery for Wine Tasting and Disc Golf. Easily one of the most unexpected and entertaining combinations. Time to head to San Antonio for some Halloween fun. We go to the 13th Floor Haunted House. It was so much fun! The Riverwalk is one of the most iconic parts of San Antonio. The Go Rio boat tours are the best way to learn the history of the area! Remember the Alamo! No San Antonio trip is complete without a visit to this iconic historic site. Right down the street, the San Fernando Cathedral offers a free light show on the side of the building called The Saga. It shows a visual history of San Antonio and Texas. We were blown away!
Arizona Wheel Estate: Pinal County RV parks and resorts
Rancho Sonora Inn & RV ParkRancho Sonora RV Park (website) (Pinal County, AZ) Sitting behind the wheel of an RV is one way to explore Arizona’s scenic landscape. Parking that same vehicle and getting outside to examine nature can enhance the whole experience. Gas up, grab some groceries and let us tell you about some great parks and resorts to plant your home on wheels.
DIY Van Awning for Under $100
There are a lot of awning options out there for vans and RVs, however they all seem to cost around $300 or more! We couldn’t stomach paying so much for an awning we would only use during the summer months and we didn’t want something that was attached to the van full time when it wasn’t in use.
How to Find Free Camping
There are many options for paid places to stay (hotels, campgrounds, hostels, harvest host, Airbnb…etc) but what if you’re on a budget and want to camp for free?? The good news is there are alot of options for free camping! However, even with plenty of places to camp, after 1.5 years on the road we still find the task of finding a new free campsite every night is the most stressful/annoying part of van life. We always find a spot, but sometimes it can take some searching! Hopefully, the information we share here can help anyone new to (or interested in) life on the road find camping with less stress/anxiety!
Finding Drinking Water While Traveling
Where to find drinking water to fill your tanks is a common concern both for aspiring and full time vanlifers. There is safe water out there to fill up with and there are different filters you can use to take out sediment, bacteria and viruses from the water as well. We travel in the United States so we can only speak to the availability of clean drinking water here. After living on the road for over a year, we’ve found some places consistently supply safe water and we want to share the 6 different places we always check so you can easily find safe drinking water!
