IF I HAD A DOLLAR! Y’all love asking us this question. After the big rig is built we will take a couple local shakedown trips to smooth out initial kinks. After that, if the weather is nice we’ll start Rosie’s Roadtrip. If the weather is cold after our shakedown trips, we’ll probably head to Baja California before coming back to start Rosie’s Roadtrip. We’ll see!

Many ways to answer this one. Essentially it’s vehicle based camping and exploration. Usually the goal is to be self-sufficient in remote areas and dispersed campsites.

Not yet. But we’ll find out. We’re certainly not the first ones to do this, we’ll be fine! We’ll figure it out as we go.

Yes! Think of the big rig as a tiny home on wheels. Bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, dining/work area, solar power, lots of water. Definitely glamping, definitely not roughing it. But this will be our full-time home, so our situation is a little different.

The idea struck us that we could take all of the travel materials we inherited and tell the story of following in Grandma’s steps. Life is short! We will not wait until retirement to enjoy this beautiful world. Or maybe it’s a borderline midlife crisis? You be the judge.

We’re fine with simply calling it the big rig. But that's also kinda boring. What’s your vote?

First of all, we are not abundantly wealthy. We live frugally, we reduced our stuff, sold the house, and used part of the profit to hire a company to help us build the big rig. Brian works as a database administrator, and Julie works as a freelance video/photographer (#hireme #please).

Probably.
