Advice, how-tos, and opportunities for the Workamping and RV lifestyle

YES! We did it! The house is empty, keys are turned over, and we’ve moved into the RV. Doug will officially retire in two short weeks!
The journey from 2400 sq feet to 379 sq feet can be summed up as “stuff, stuff and MORE stuff.” Once you get the stuff, you have to store the stuff, then you must insure the stuff, maintain the stuff, repair the stuff, clean the stuff, move the stuff…whew! Stuff = work. Read more about 2400 sq ft to 379 sq ft: The Process! …
When interviewing Workampers, Employers have noted that many Workampers seemed quite ‘stiff’ when called upon for an open position. Employers have encountered everything from awkward phone interviews to incomplete resumes and inappropriate pictures. There seemed to just be no status quo on what was expected and what is considered acceptable. Don’t miss out on your […]
After our Fort Worth adventure, we returned to the City of Lewisville campground, which is absolutely gorgeous, affordable and worth a stay. The wifi was even usable in off hours. They also don’t take payment until you arrive! Read more about A DAY IN DENTON! …
Howdy we’re the Bergmarks, Kurt (46) & Debra (42). We have three children, two small dogs and we took the plunge in September 2016 and hit the road full time in our Jayco Eagle 5th wheel. We’re just like many others who thought they were living the American Dream, but the stress of a big house and a disappointing full time job just didn’t seem very fulfilling.

Although here in Westminster, South Carolina we dodged the weather bullet, throughout the “Upstate,” many areas experienced a turbulent evening filled with damaging wind, rain, and hail. After such a raucous display of wild weather, this morning dawned remarkably, with a clear blue sky and crisp temperatures – a perfect day for a road trip! We […]
Vicki Corona once wrote,
“Remember that life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away!”
or at least that is the earliest use of that well used cliché I could find. Even overused as it is, the saying still rings true to the ears of many.

One of the many things my new husband and I had in common was our LOVE of camping, dirt biking, and exploring nature. Both of us have always been drawn to being in the woods: campfires, hiking, wildlife, rivers, lakes…what’s not to love? We both find God there, in creation. So in June of 2014, Doug and I purchased a new 26′ toy hauler (for the dirt bikes!) and began our camping adventures.
The Mooney family is a traveling family of four and our dog (Lilith) collectively known as the D20Nomads.(Check them out on Instagram!) We made the lifestyle change to full time RVing in the spring of 2015 and never looked back choosing homeschooling over public schooling, wide open adventuring over narrow sheltered living, and free-thinking over following a prescribed path. We are the kind of family who want to explore and experience the land and people around us. As a younger family taking this journey, we have learned so much about what life has to offer. We are always looking for new ideas and chances to grow, not only as people, but also our knowledge. Read more about We made the lifestyle change …
