Join us in Celebrating National Park Week!

Planning a national park road trip?  As self-proclaimed National Park Nerds, we've created a comprehensive list of our favorite resources to help you discover and explore the best of U.S. national parks!  

Follow us on Facebook and Instagram as we travel through some western parks and share tips and hacks along the way!

We try to keep negative news out of our posts as there is so much of that in other places.  But, after the abuse of federal power that's been ravaging our democracy for the past couple of months AND flying in the face of nearly everything we stand for and value, we simply had to speak out about the random acts of reckless UN-kindness that are happening across our country right now!  

Find out how you can get involved 

to stop the madness!

After nearly a decade on the road full-time, we took a 5-month journey to our 50th state!  While traveling through NW Canada and Alaska, we produced a 15-episode video series highlighting our experiences during each week of our epic RV road trip in our 1957 Sportcraft travel trailer.  

Check out our videos from 4 of

Alaska's most popular national parks:

Glacier Bay    ~   Wrangell-St. Elias

Denali    ~   Kenai Fjords

 The freedom to live, work, and play in gorgeous natural places comes with an incredible, but simple, responsibility. 

Living and traveling in our RV for the past 12.5 years has afforded us some incredible opportunities to spend weeks — even months — in some of the most beautiful, pristine, and remote areas of this continent. For those of us who crave both adventure and solitude, this is truly RVing nirvana!

Find out how to start living your dream, traveling more sustainably, and leaving no trace while RVing. 

We can keep our camping costs down to less than $150 per month with a these very helpful resources in our back pocket.

Want to camp in a national park, but all campsites are booked solid?  With folks making reservations 6 months out, we thought the days of spontaneous camping trips were over!  Not anymore.

Many national park campgrounds do not offer electrical hook-ups and have limitations on the use of gas generators.  Stay powered up silently with solar!

Hate crowds?  Want to camp in the off-season but worried about your batteries freezing?  We put this little dynamo through a series of freeze-thaw tests to see how well and how fast the self-heating function works.  Then... the real test?  We integrated this DuoHeat battery into our system while we've been traveling through ice storms and snow storms that have been plaguing the southeast all winter.  Spoiler Alert!  This new addition has eliminated all winter battery worries.

Use promo code CANLIFE at renogy.com to save up to 10% off this battery and nearly everything else you need to live off-grid!

Our new life chapter started back in 2010 with 'that day' at work, some courage, and an impromptu bid on eBay for a 1957 camper!  We launched our epic road trip in 2012 to visit every U.S. state, including all of America's National Parks.
