What Is Fulltime RVing Really Like? A Day In The Life
Recently, we realized most of our content is either a some sort of project, or an outdoor adventure. Considering our name, that’s probably pretty fitting.
However, it really isn’t a complete picture of what RV life is like. Most days are actually spent at our campsite. Whether that be in an actual campground, or boondocking, on most days we have to get everyday “life stuff” done too.
In the video below we take you through a regular day for us as we show you what day to day looks like for a family of four in an RV.

Fulltime RVing Isn’t Always An Adventure
Maybe it’s because we have slowed down a little since we started fulltime RVing several years ago. It is really common for new full-timers to drive a lot of miles and see a ton of sites in their first year. We have found that because it’s so much work to pack-up and move the RV as well as setup the RV at new sites, we like to stay in a location for at least 2 weeks at a time. If we can help it!
In that time, we typically go see the local sites for during 2 or 3 of those days. The rest of that time is regular life. Making food, cleaning up, doing homeschool, and getting work accomplished. We have never really been morning people. Our days tend to start around 8 or 9 and we’re frequently up pretty late.
Everyday Life In Many Places
Be a tourist or just hang out at the campground. Visit a new-to-you restaurant, or grill out at home. Seek solitude or meet like-minded friends. The in-between time will still have laundry, trips to the grocery store, vehicle maintenance, and other chores that need to be done. Chances are you will be doing those things in a variety of places throughout the year.
That’s the real beauty of fulltime RVing, you can move as fast or as slow as you want! If your work is flexible, you can also plan to visit the tourist attractions when they are less crowded which is nice.
