Oh yeah! And I would add: Stay organized. I find this very important for keeping sanity intact in the little truck home!

Awesome! I started out in a Saturn (car…too small!) then upgraded to a n ’86 4Runner. Amazing way to live, the US is an incredible landmass and can only truly be experienced while living in a 4Runner in the depths of small, dirt paths

Temporary goodbye describes it, yes. That sounds like an adventure, Jessica. Quite a sight, too, with a beetle towing a trailer, I imagine.

Amazing! My husband and I did a mini-roadtrip at the beginning of June on our way to find a place to live. Sold half of our stuff, packed up the rest into the second-smallest Uhaul we could rent, and towed it with our VW beetle. Nothing nearly as simple as what you did, but awesome nonetheless, especially the feeling of knowing that all the stuff we owned in the world was right with us. Did you sell your house and your trailer? Or just said a “temporary” goodbye?

We did something similar down the west coast of Mexico a few years back, camping as we went, checking in with locals and staying away from tourist traps. We only had one dog at the time, a great traveling pit bull named Lazlo, and the three of us had an awesome adventure. Your post makes me want to get my long-term-roadtripping shoes on again!

Hi Anita, glad you enjoy it! We try to keep our expenses low — we are mostly living on savings. Like most people, the money comes from working. We are just regular people.
