Hi there! We're Hutch and Stephanie - two foodies, dog parents, garden murderers (oops), and now, full-time RV life hopefuls. We currently live in St. Petersburg, Florida, with our two Havanese pups, Gypsy and Fallon. Hutch is a retired Air Force Master Sergeant, Star...
When I met Hutch, I had no idea YouTube would become such a big part of our daily life. I used to hop on for the occasional tutorial, but he changed that. Now? We binge YouTube like it’s Netflix. Hutch is a visual learner. Reading? Not his favorite. YouTube became his...
Timing really is everything. Ever since we started seriously considering RV life, things just kept falling into place. We took it as a sign: this lifestyle might actually be meant for us. You ever get that feeling? Once we decided to move forward, hitting up an RV...
We recently took a step deeper into the buying an RV journey - our first dealership visit after a less-than-ideal experience at the Tampa Bay Summer RV Show. Although the show didn’t have what we wanted, our dealership stop brought surprises (and lessons) we won’t...
After a long day at the dealership in Ocala, Hutch and I had a lot to talk about on the drive home. We rehashed every RV we've toured so far, comparing features, quality, and value. Some of the 5th wheels we saw at the RV show even crept back into the conversation....
So, we’re new to RV life - and when I say new, I mean wildly underprepared and basically drinking from a firehose of information. It’s exciting, sure, but also a bit overwhelming. After days of stressing over our upcoming RV inspection, we figured we needed a break....
Are we glad we got an RV inspection before buying? As first-time RV owners - absolutely. We had no idea what to look for, so hiring a professional was the right choice. That said, there are a few things we wish had gone a little differently. Why We Chose to Get an RV...
Here it is... the story of the maiden voyage - that wasn't? Buying an RV should be all fun and excitement, right? Well, yes. But let’s be real, it’s also kind of stressful. Hutch had a more grounded view of the whole process. He calls himself a “Sithy pessimist.” Me?...
Choosing the perfect name is a rite of passage for any road-tripping couple learning how to name your RV. We knew ours needed a name with personality - something bold, meaningful, and just a little bit fabulous. Enter Stardust. Even before we signed the papers,...
Trust us. It was the only name that made sense! If you've ever muttered this phrase under your breath while duct-taping something that should definitely not be held together with duct tape… welcome. You're our people. "We're Fine. Everything Is Fine." is more than...
Six weeks.That’s all that stands between us and full-time RV living. This past weekend, we got serious. And by “serious,” I mean we printed out an actual calendar, spread it across the dining table, and started sticking tasks onto actual dates. Why? Because the “we’ll...
