The Unexpected Perks of Full-Time RV Travel

The Unexpected Perks of Full-Time RV Travel

In this episode of TravelEssary, we’re talking about the perks of full-time RV travel that we didn’t fully expect when we first hit the road.

We share how life has slowed down in the best ways, from more flexible sleep schedules and lingering family meals to spontaneous walks and everyday adventures that don’t require much planning. We talk about how traveling full-time has changed the way we spend time together, divide responsibilities, and connect as a family.

We also dive into one of our favorite surprises: the people. From campground neighbors to chance conversations, community has shown up for us in ways we didn’t anticipate. And of course, we touch on the practical perks too... no house to maintain, no yard work, and a lot less stuff to manage.

While RV life comes with its fair share of challenges, including constant maintenance and problem-solving, this episode focuses on the ways this lifestyle has enriched our lives and shifted our perspective. It’s an honest, encouraging look at the good that’s come from choosing a life that travels with us.

  We are the Essary family and we're exploring America one destination at a time. On this episode of TravelEssary, we are going to share the unexpected perks of full-time travel. Let's chat.

Well welcome and thank you for joining us on this episode as we talk about the unexpected. Perks of full-time travel. Ladies and gentlemen, there are a lot of perks. Yeah, there are a lot of things that I did not realize was going to come with this lifestyle, or maybe it just didn't dawn on me until we started truly living it, but it's been quite nice.

Now, before we get started, we definitely want to let you know it's not all perks. There are some downsides to it that we will get into on later episodes in season five, but for this one, we just specifically want to talk about the perks that we get to experience almost every single day. Yeah. Not just the perks, the unexpected perks, because of course we're full-time travelers.

You guys just the travel part, that part alone is like. That's a huge perk. It's a huge thing. It's a big thing. It was expected. Yeah. That's what we went into it for. Exploring new places, , spending a large amount of time with each other. Those were things like, that was the purpose of what we're doing.

The travel, the exploring, the being with each other. But there was so much more that came with this lifestyle that we didn't really think about or plan for going into. But now that we are, what? Going onto five months into this, we're really starting to learn. You know what, this is kind of nice and if we ever decide to stop doing this, , there are some things that's gonna be hard after being so spoiled.

, I think we're kind of spoiling ourselves a little bit. We are a little bit, and it's one of those things that whenever you get into it, you have expectations. You have certain things that you're looking forward to, like Miss D already said. But then those things lead to other things that we're gonna talk about on our list . We knew it was a possibility that it would happen, but as often and as frequent as it happens is really amazing, and that's what makes these unexpected perks really nice. Yeah, I mean, anything that's unexpected that is a positive in your life, like. , Who doesn't love that? It's like a nice little surprise wrapped up in a bow.

Yeah. It's like putting on some blue jeans and then, you know, going into your pocket and finding like $5 or something like that. You're like, oh my goodness. Yes. I, God I had this. Yeah. No, it's been so, so nice to discovering, the little fun things that come with this lifestyle and, you know, it still feels a bit surreal to me.

, I still wake up some days and I'm like, is this my life? Is this my life? And then every time I come across an unexpected perk and I'm like, wow, this is, it's literally like we're living the dream. , Like seriously, we have a dreamy life. Yeah. And I wake up going, how do we do this? Like , how was this possible?

, , and if you wanna know how this is possible, go back to season four where we talked about some of the things that makes this lifestyle happen. And just being able to. Do the things , that we get to do mm-hmm. Is super amazing, . Yeah. That's what we're gonna get into. So let's get into the very first thing, which is something that I didn't think was going to change that much mm-hmm. But has changed. Almost drastically. And that is waking up like our sleep schedule. Yeah. Has changed a lot and I'm not saying that that's a bad thing, , I come from an eight to five job, , going to sleep at a certain time, waking up at a certain time to make sure I get my morning routine, get into work and everything.

Whereas here it's. Hey, Jasper's cranky and he's tired. Let's go to bed. It's seven 30. Yeah. , That literally happened last night. Or Hey, we want to go watch something at night or do something at night and we don't go to sleep till like 11. Yeah. , Or later. Which that doesn't sound late. I'm sure.

Till a lot of people, , I think when you had your eight to five, a normal bedtime routine for us was like nine to six or nine to five 30, like our sleeping patterns. Right. But it is nice being able to stay out late without having to worry about having to get up early the next morning. Yeah. Or,

if you stay out later, you're gonna lose sleep. Yeah. Which is gonna make you more tired and more cranky going into the days. Yeah, because there are very, very few days where we get up early. Well, okay, I take that back where we have to get up early. We do have a 2-year-old for the last several days

he's been waking us up at five 30 in the morning. , Not my favorite, but at least we can get those nap times in the afternoon. , But other than that, we're able to. Go to sleep whenever we want. Mm-hmm. And wake up whenever we want. Yeah. So if it's nine, 10 o'clock, it's almost like , we're young people all over again, like we're teenagers, like off for the summer break and you just kinda like sleep whenever you want to, or you stay awake however long you want to, and it's just whatever the day you want

now we're definitely not lay in bed all day kind of people. No, no. Whenever the eyes open up, , it's time to actually get up and move with or without the toddler. There's no way I could do that. An average time that we get up is about eight o'clock in the morning, which for us is sleeping in. Yes.

That is sleeping in for us. It didn't matter if it was Monday through Friday or a Saturday or even a Sunday, eight o'clock was sleeping in for us. Mm-hmm. Yeah. And so that's our average time of getting up. Now, if the baby cooperates, and I think that's a good time around eight o'clock, you're not sleeping the day away, but you're not waking up exhausted.

And so that's been a really nice perk is having more control, I guess, over. Hour sleeping schedule, like personally having that control without everything around us dictating our sleeping schedule for us. Yes, there are some times we get up earlier than that. If we are gonna travel, like, like when we were in Columbus and we wanted to go into Houston, which is a little over an hour away and we had tickets for something that morning, then yes, we have to get up early in order to make those reservations

things like that do happen. And then on Sunday mornings, you know, every church we go to has a different starting time. Some start at like noon and some start at like nine 30. So that's also a big factor in how far away that is. Some have been 10 minutes down the road, some have been an hour down the road.

But for the most part, being able to have control over our sleeping. Habits has been really nice or un control, you know, uncontrolled, don't sleep late. And then Jasper's like, Hey, it's time for me to get up at four o'clock in the morning. And well, and then that's another great thing is because of our schedule, which we have talked about, the flexibility of our schedules a quite a bit on our podcast, but when that happens.

We can decide, you know, what we're doing that afternoon or if we need to take a break that afternoon so that he can take a nap or I can take a nap with him. So, yeah, it's just, it's wonderful. And another thing is , no matter when you wake up, no matter when you start your day,,  it could possibly change the entire day, such as meals and one of the unexpected things that we knew was gonna happen a little bit, but we can have meals whenever we want. Wherever we want. And all together. And all together. Yeah. Yeah. And so anyone who has, , a normal eight to five job, most of the time you're taking your lunch to work, or you're going out with coworkers, or you're trying to grab something real small and you don't get to be with your family.

Or if you have that very hectic, , morning. During school season and everything else that's going on, you don't get to have breakfast with your family. Oh yeah. We did not make breakfast around here. It was a grab what you could or don't eat. Like breakfast was, it was not a meal. Yeah. It wasn't until lunch, a meal that we sat down and had, unless it was a weekend.

Like that was a Saturday thing. Yeah. And then the only meal that we, we really planned and we really tried to stick together was dinnertime. It was like, Hey, let's get together for dinner. , No matter what's going on, let's at least eat first before we go off and do those events. But being able to have meals whenever, wherever.

That's really, really nice. Yeah. An unexpected little perk that we can be like, Hey, what , do you wanna grill today? Nah, not really. Yeah, let's go grill today. , Hey, let's go outside and eat at the picnic table. Hey, let's go do this. Let's go somewhere else , and maybe eat at a restaurant on a whim.

Just because we decide to do it, it's not something we have to plan. Other activities or work schedules or school activities, , around our eating schedule. Mm-hmm. It's like, hey, we get to eat. Whenever we want to eat when we're hungry. Yeah. Yeah. There were so many times when we lived back home that we had to eat before we were actually hungry because the opportunity wouldn't arise again for four or five hours.

Mm-hmm. And then there were so many times that we finally got to eat and we were starving because we had been so busy the hours leading up to it. So yeah, it's nice to being able , to eat when we're hungry.

And having that unexpected liberty and freedom to, you know what? , It's noon, it's two o'clock in the afternoon. . We're gonna go take a nap after we eat, yeah. And no, these are not things we do every day. We don't get to sleep in every day. , Like I said, sometimes our schedules do change. We don't take naps every day. Like sometimes we're doing stuff in Jasper's, napping in the car.

It's nice to have those options. It's nice to have that flexibility every day. Like we get to choose what that looks like for the first time ever. And that's been, , as a mom of a toddler, that's been lovely.. Yeah. Now, when we first started this back in October and we had warm weather, we didn't do a lot of afternoon naps because we were outside hiking or we were swimming in the pool and doing things like that.

Like we had the. Nice long days that were warm and we were outside a lot. But let me tell you, this winter weather has kind of made us hibernate a little bit in our rv. We haven't done a lot of outside things. All of the extra stuff we've done have mostly been visiting indoor places. And so whenever we are just here in the campground, yeah, those afternoon naps, , they've been calling to us talking about.

The winter storms and just the rain and everything else that could happen. Bad weather days., We don't have to worry about, , are the kids having school today? Mm-hmm. We don't have to worry about, oh, I have to get out and drive in the slush and all of this mess,

like we get to pick and choose what we consider bad weather days. Yeah. So bad weather days don't really. Mess with our schedules because we create our own schedules. If something happens and there's a bad weather day and we have to rearrange our plans, it's not that big of a deal. The only time bad weather really and truly affects us is if it's on a travel day, which we have to travel anyway.

, It just makes that day a little rougher, maybe a little longer, but overall, we're not affected. , It's not like the end of the world if we have a bad weather day. And by us choosing what days we go out . It allows us a little perk of we can go out whenever we want. Yeah. A lot of times before we make our plans, especially if we're doing outdoor activities or explorations, we look up the weather for that week and then we plan our week around the weather.

We don't have to do it so far in advance that, , we're purchasing tickets for something or doing something like that. For months later for the weather to just totally ruin that. , We make our plans on the fly of where we are. As far as our excursions and our explorations, and so we're close enough to that day.

We're like, Hey, let's plan it on this day. The weather looks nice and sunny and clear and yeah, that, that's another grand perk of this. Even if, , we plan it and the weatherman says it's supposed to be nice and sunny and all of a sudden a rainstorm comes in, right? Whenever we're getting ready , to go do the event or the activity or whatever, we can always be like.

We'll just do that tomorrow. Yeah. , Having that nice perk of , you know what? We have time tomorrow. , We'll just do it tomorrow. Yeah. We're not in any big hurry or anything like that. So Now there's other people that do the full-time travel. , , one of our favorite people that we watch, , they travel from country to country.

And they have airplane tickets and , they're always booking in advance. Mm-hmm. So if they miss, , that big , , event or festival or something, then they're just outta luck. Yeah. But for us, it's like, . Let's not do that today. Yeah. , It's only gonna be 55 let's, tomorrow's supposed to be 63.

Let's just wait till tomorrow. Yeah. Because we spend several weeks in each location that we have a lot of flexible time in that area. So yeah, that's been a wonderful perk, not being truly affected too much by the weather. And it always allows us to take walks.

Whenever we choose to take walks. We can go out on a morning walk, we can do an afternoon walk and let Jasper run the rest of his energy out so we can take a nap or we can just go on an adventure and just. Head out. Yeah. So this was a perk that I truly did not realize was going to be so wonderful

so whenever we lived back home, I would take the baby and sometimes one or two of the other kids and we would go to the city park and go for walks. Like every day almost , that we could, we would go for walks for , like an hour or two around the park. But I had to do that based off of what activities we had going on that day.

And , I had to do it around so many different things. I had to physically, , load strollers and babies and things into the car, drive the 15 minutes to the city park and all of that. So there were times that it did not happen when I wanted it to happen. A truly wonderful, unexpected perk of this is that we are in campgrounds.

Every day. That's where we live basically, is inside of these campgrounds, which are excellent places for walking or hiking. A lot of them have hiking trail if you wanna do that, and I can choose to just walk out my front door, pop the baby in the stroller, or hold his hand or whatever we're doing, and just walk.

Whenever I want to. , It's so, so, so nice and most of them so far have all had some type of playground or park or basketball court, so. If we're, you know, walking and little man is tired of walking in a straight line,, he needs to run around and, , do some activity or something. Then we can like, let him run loose a little bit and then put him back in the stroller and then continue our walks.

But it makes it so nice because. So far, all of them have been either concrete or asphalt. Mm-hmm. And so they're smooth walking areas. It makes it really easy and really smooth just to go out on a walk and we're not talking in like a long, extensive walk.

Now, there have been hikes that I have done and that Justin have done that have taken a couple hours, . Just walking and getting some exercise, just getting out and walking. I love to just get out and walk . But yeah, having that flexibility of doing walks and getting out, and it allows us to go on adventures when we want to.

, That's one of the unexpected perk where I was like, oh man, we're gonna get to a spot. We're gonna have to go do this. We're gonna have to go do this. And it's gonna, and like our entire time that we were gonna be at a spot was gonna be jammed packed with all the things that we do from podcasting, to videos, to vlogging, to going on adventures from my work, for my job, for all the other activities that we want to do.

And it was like, oh my goodness, we're gonna be overwhelmed , with. , The lifestyle that we're gonna go into, I think that Jeremy has found the opposite is actually true. The opposite is 100% true. And it just, it's one of those unexpected things that we can go on adventures when we want to. It doesn't matter what that is.

We wanna go to markets, we want to go to bakeries, we love bakeries. We wanna go get ice cream. I mean, it doesn't matter, like in the middle of the day. And we're like, Hey, let's do this. And we're like, okay. Because we can, because we can now we don't do like the high expensive things yet because we're not to that point yet.

But, Misty will tell you there are tons of free things in almost every place that we go to. Yeah. Whether they're outside or inside, mostly outside of the free things inside's a little bit harder, but it is so nice to, , go on adventures whenever we want to and not have to be like so stuck and so.

Schedule oriented to go on those adventures. Mm-hmm. Now we make rough plans and we're gonna talk about that a little bit more next week. Right. , We make a rough plan, like we have a plan and we have a general idea of how things are gonna go, but we do not have to like detail our day-to-day schedule and activities.

, And honestly, that wouldn't really work in this lifestyle. I don't think it would, , you have to be so incredibly flexible whenever you're full-time traveling and , , that was really hard for us in the beginning, but we're learning it and we're getting better at it, now I think it would be difficult for us to go back to a rigid schedule.

, I think so. , after having . So much freedom and flexibility. More than we've ever had in our life. Yeah. Yeah. Especially,, more than I've ever had in my life. Going from boy scouts to military, from full-time job to full-time, full-time, full-time job.

So yeah, , it would definitely be something that would be. It'd be hard. It'd be hard for me to get back into no lie. But having , that flexibility of going on adventures and doing everything we get to meet a lot of people. Yes. That has been an amazing perk about this lifestyle. Like we knew we were gonna go meet people.

, Don't get us wrong. We knew that was gonna be a thing, but seriously, we have met so many wonderful people and we've just started. Yeah, we've just, we haven't even really hit the key areas that we're gonna go where we know more people are going to be, and there's gonna be more activity, so there's gonna be more opportunity to meet people.

Mm-hmm. But even in the little time that we've had, in the little places that we've gone to with it being cold and not a whole lot of outdoor activities, but even meeting people inside of , the RV community and even outside in, , the cities and the towns and the church community, which we've already talked about in one of our other, our previous podcasts.

, Just having that was just unexpected perk. Like we, yes, we knew we were gonna meet people. Yeah. But there was gonna be, , people that we were gonna get to talk to and , have conversations with. Well, I think why it's such a big deal for us more than what we thought it was gonna be, is because we've kind of lived in the same circle our whole life.

Jeremy has literally lived his whole life other than when he was in Iraq and on active duty in like an hour circle his whole life. And I have lived in that same circle since I was 14. Yeah. Like seriously, within an hour circle his whole life. And so. It limits you on who you can and cannot meet. Yes.

We traveled, but , obviously like for vacation stuff, not full-time. Yes. We went and did different activities outside of that circle and different, you know, rallies and conventions and things like that. And we had different jobs and, but it really, really limited us on who we met and the types of conversations that we could have with people.

And now that we're traveling. We're meeting so many different types of people outside of our little circle, , our little area of where we live to have had vastly different life experiences. We get to have, , conversations with people that we've never got to have before. And that's been, it's been so refreshing.

It's been really, really nice to just get out and. Meet people that you know are not from your area, that maybe not, , not in your same circle or have , your hobbies in mind that you can just get out and have conversations with. And that the vast knowledge is really nice, but the stories mm-hmm.

Make it that much more. Yeah. And so, I mean, meeting people is amazing, but let's get into the last two things that we have on our list. And this was a unexpected, something that I really didn't even want to do, to be honest. I'm just gonna throw it out there. But splitting the duties. So I think this is a perk for me.

This is a. Personal perk. It's a perk for me, for sure. So, um, now that Jeremy's home, like what, two thirds of the time? Yeah. Would you say that like two thirds of our time out on the road were, is spent together like we are. Splitting, and by splitting I don't mean like 50 50. This is my job. This is your job.

I mean, like taking turns and , it's starting to flow more natural now, but with , household duties and dinner duties and babies duties and things like that, whereas before. That was mostly, for the most part, it fell on my shoulders, except for , during pregnancy or sickness or something.

But that's because, , all of the work fell on Jeremy's shoulders. He did the nine to five. He brought in all the income, he did all of that. But now that he's with us two thirds of the time, then I have, , a portion of the work on my shoulders too. We're splitting a lot of that much more evenly now, so I, I've got to sit down a few times and like.

Watch Jeremy make dinner and then when it's warm and nice weather outside, he grills for us. And that's been so nice. We were that typical couple that traditional Yeah, traditional couple that. I worked, she stayed at home, so she took care of all , the indoor house stuff. I took care of all the outdoor house stuff, , and brought home the bacon and all that other kind of stuff.

And, , it was something that because of the lifestyle that we were in and because of how busy that we were, it really worked out really well for us. Oh yeah. No, , it worked great for us and that's what we wanted. We both wanted that. Yeah. . Don't get me wrong, I helped out whenever I needed to, whenever I could.

Yeah. I mean, especially like during my pregnancies or sickness whatever needed to be done, we always got it done. Mm-hmm. But , it is a unexpected perk where, you know, and it's not like, oh, I have to do this.

, It's something that I get to do because, , now I'm learning that, okay, . This is how you fully cook a meal. Mm-hmm. Not just grill outside. 'cause guys, come on. We know. Come on. Whenever we're like, Hey, we're gonna go grill outside, the wife is still like, okay, I still have to get all the sides and the drinks.

Oh. Not only that, and get your meat and season the food. Yes. And bring it to you. And all we're really doing is just sitting in front of a grill. Standing in front of a grill. Yeah. And, and cooking. So guys, come on now. Y'all know what, y'all know how it is. , But now it's a little bit different where it's like, Hey, I'm gonna grill outside and here's my sides.

And so , I try to do as much prep as possible. Mm-hmm. Because it's just something that is really nice that I have the time now. That and the energy, that's one of the main things, the energy to, , learn those things now. And it's really nice. , And it was something that we talked about in, was it a bonus episode?

We talked about, , our goals. Yes. Yeah. As a bonus, one bonus Patreon. So go check that one out of, you know, it's like, hey, trying to find where that routine is, trying to find out where I can help, where I can fit in. And it's really nice to, to be able to do those because I don't have the lawn care anymore.

Yeah, Jeremy really loves that part. I think that's his favorite part of his list. That is one of that that is like almost on the top of the list. I don't have to mow where we are. I don't have to weed eat, I don't have to worry about if the picnic table is gonna work. So a funny, I don't have have to worry about any of that.

A funny little backstory, um, when we first got married and we talked about building a house and getting property, which we never built a house, but we did buy a couple of homes. But, um, Jeremy said his goal was to have like. A concreted lot. No grass what? No grass whatsoever. And I was like, I was mortified.

And I was like, yeah, that will never happen. Because he didn't wanna have to maintain, maintain, maintain upkeep. And he's one of those stubborn people that he wouldn't pay anyone else to do it either if he could do it himself, but he didn't wanna do it himself. And so never having to maintain. Grass and the line and beautify things and yeah, I think that's his favorite part of the flesh.

I don't have to tree trim, I don't have to pick up leaves, none of that stuff. One time we had, um, we owned five acres and yeah, Jeremy was not a fan. Oh man, that was something else. Keeping up with those five acres. So yeah, that's that. Perk for Jeremy, I guess is no more lawn maintenance. Yeah. I don't have to keep up with the pool that , I swim in.

I don't keep up with the hot tub. I don't have to keep up with, I mean there's just, there's so much stuff outdoors. But yeah, we still get all of those perks with our membership. We get all the perks and I don't have to do anything. Mm-hmm. That's super, super nice. It's part of our membership fees now. Now I still have to do like all the.

RV maintenance and maintenance whenever, whatever something like that breaks or, or goes through, you know, preventative maintenance, stuff like that. But it's really nice to be able to split those duties and then not have any of that outdoor maintenance that I did in the other one. And the very last thing that we knew was gonna be a thing, but we didn't know that it was gonna be a perk.

And that's flexibility. We knew we were gonna have flexibility coming into this. I mean, yeah. I think we have a podcast or two about the flexibility of life on the road. I, I know we talk about it a lot, but how much flexibility is, it's, it's stupid. How much flexibility do we have? Yeah. Like every day. It dawns on me how much freedom and flexibility we have a little more than the day before and it's, it's mind blowing.

Yeah. I mean, now I have my schedule of when I go do runs or when I would like to go do runs or, you know, get certain things taken care of. But still, you choose that schedule. But I get to choose that schedule. So if I look at the weather like. I knew I wasn't going up during the freeze. Yes. No, I did not want him to either.

Yeah. Or the snow storms that happened after that in the northeast, like I, I was like, no, I'm not going. Yeah. I didn't want him driving in it. I didn't wanna be left here alone in it. Yeah. Just in case something happened. Water breaks, something of that nature. It was just nice to be able to be like, no, I'm good.

Yeah. I'll just wait till the next time whenever we move, and then I'll go up and I'll take care of a couple loads. Yeah. And it'll be, it'll be enough to suffice what we need to get done in our lifestyle and we'll move on after that. Yeah. I mean, we didn't need it right away. Financially. , The last load he had done that one trip up there had taken care of the entire months of expenses.

Right. Which we're gonna break this down a little bit more I think in season five, but eight days worth of work. Covered our entire months of January. Expenses entire month. Yeah. And so there wasn't , a rush or need for him to go up there. So that's another , really nice perk. The flexibility is just amazing.

, I know we've talked about it already in this podcast, but I truly think that people cannot understand what it is we're referencing unless they have lived a similar. Lifestyle that has allowed them as much flexibility because we knew it was gonna be it. We've heard so many other people talking about flexibility in their full-time travel RV life, but whenever we experienced it for ourselves, it's just, it blew us away.

, I think one thing that we can kind of gear this towards as far as flexibility is if you. If you have a significant other, if both of you are retired and you're able to do whatever you want to do Yeah. Then you have a lot of flexibility. , That's the way I look at this. Like we're full-time traveling and I still have a job and , we're still, we still have tasks we have to get done.

Yeah. We're still doing things, but I consider us like semi-retired. Am I retire. There's days , that we go and we get some work done or that, , I go drive. But then those days where I'm not driving and we're not having to, and we go play bingo and it feels like retirement. Yeah. And we're retired.

And so it is just, , it's a really weird feeling, but it is super amazing. Yeah. We were actually talking to someone. In the town we're at right now, a few days ago, and they said something about us being retired and we just kinda laughed because we're not, we're not retired, but a lot of people think that we are because of this lifestyle, and they're like, you're too young to be retired.

And we're like, well, we're not. Yeah, we're not actually retired. , It is a similar lifestyle actually. If I would've stayed with the military, if I'd have done my 20 in the military and the first job that I got. Could retire, I could retired on both of them. Yeah. Which is crazy 'cause whenever you're that young, you never think about it whenever you get older.

But I would've hated that because , it would've been you had small children and that would not happen. Well, I probably would've been deployed a couple more times. Ugh. That would've been scary. Once was enough. Thank you. So, but the flexibility is amazing and just the, the unexpected perks that we have of, you know, our sleep when we want to go out, adventures meals.

The people what we want to do. Just the flexibility of all of it is just so, so amazing. And what makes it so much leader is it was unexpected.
