🚧 TikTok Didn’t Tell Us / This Week’s Freak Out
Finding random pools of water in the camper can happen!
The kitchen sink faucet ended up leaking when we were dripping water on a cold night. Luckily, there was a trashcan to catch it!

🚚 Planning for our grand adventure
We’re planning our next big adventure and walking through how we’re thinking about it.
The big factors are cost, route, schedule, and a few real-world constraints.
Cost
- Estimating campground fees, fuel, and general travel costs. It’s looking like $12–15k on paper, but realistically closer to $20k once surprises hit.
- State parks could be cheaper, but size limits, lack of hookups, and longer stays might make that impractical.
- We won’t have normal living expenses for 7–8 months (~$1,400/month), so overall it may balance out more than it seems.
Route
- Mapping a route that hits places we want to see without requiring multi-day driving stretches.
- Planning one big westward trip rather than multiple crossings, while avoiding moving every few days.
- Timing locations around weather so we’re not stuck in brutal heat at the wrong time.
Schedule
- Likely starting in April, with existing plans in Tennessee anchoring the beginning.
- Need to be back in Tybee Island by Thanksgiving, which sets the outer boundary.
- Goal is to stay at least a week per stop to keep things sustainable.
Other considerations
- Vy’s job situation.
- Whether our current camper is sufficient, even though the temptation to size up is real.
- Logistics like driving regulations across states and organizing everything.
- Yes, this is going in Trello (obvi)!
