Our RV Travel Background
We’ve had extensive RV travel experience in different countries; USA, Australia and Europe.
And we bring those years of experience to give you a well-rounded perspective of the good and bad of traveling in an RV whether that is with a travel trailer, motor home, Class A or C or sprinter.
In Australia, we traveled around for 18 months in a tiny Jayco pop up caravan (travel trailer). Actually the first three months of that trip was in a 4 person tent as that was all we could afford.
Kalyra was 6 and Savannah was 2 – possibly the worst age to travel with a toddler – it was full of transitions!
We just recently finished an almost year long road trip of the Western part of the USA with a 37 ft Salem Hemisphere travel trailer and our Ford F250 truck.
Boy did we appreciate the extra space and comfort this time around!
We have also previously traveled in a motorhome (Class C) for two weeks in South Australia visiting Flinders Ranges National Park and the Eyre Peninsula. And we road tripped the UK for six weeks in one with Craig’s family way back in 2004.
And way back in 1998, I traveled around Europe for 3 months in a sprinter van with 4 girlfriends. Aussies would call it a campervan or a Eurovan!
So we are definitely in a position to share what we think is the best way to travel with an RV and offer you sage advice for your circumstances.
