RVing with dogs
This is a write-up of how I de-winterize our Travato. I'm explicitly talking about our specific rig, a 2019 Winnebago Travato 59K class B van. I may have left something out, or I may have screwed up something — but hopefully this helps someone, at the very
After a long winter, it was finally time for our first van trip of the season! After weighing our options, we decided that based on weather, it was best to cross Hovenweep National Monument off the list! Living in the Four Corners region, we have been lucky to see so
New to RVing? We once were too! Like, REALLY new. We went from never RVing, to full-timing in a class A with two dogs. First photo as RV owners in 2016! Going from zero to full-timing can be intimidating but don't let that stop you. We've
What is Chaco Canyon? The Chaco Canyon, in northwest New Mexico, was a hub of Native American cultures from around years 800-1100. It's now protected by the Chaco Culture National Historic Park as a World Heritage Site. It contains several ruins of a very distinct architectural style, and
White Sands had been on our must-see list since the start of our RV travels in 2017. And ever since we became New Mexico residents in 2019, it's been nagging at us that we hadn't been there. So for our first van trip of 2022, we
Before RV life, protecting our dogs from snakes wasn't something we gave a lot of thought to, as Los Angeles and San Francisco area residents. Before hitting the road as full-time RVers in 2017, we did some research into what our dogs may encounter in the areas
In September we loaded up the van to check off a bucket list item, the North Rim of the Grand Canyon . Seriously though, where do I sit? We, like most people who visit the Grand Canyon, had only been to the more popular South Rim. We actually stayed
Truth be told, I didn't really know Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado existed until we moved to nearby New Mexico. Formerly classified as a national monument, Great Sand Dunes was established as a National Park in 2004. The sand dunes formed from sediment washed into
Looking for a dog-friendly adventure not far off I-40 in New Mexico? El Malpais National Monument and Conservation area near Grants, New Mexico is worth the stop. Hiking, great food, and a fun roadside attraction. This spot has it all. This was our first trip of the year and
We were able to squeeze in one more trip for this year, before needing to winterize our van . We had been planning to go to the ski town of Telluride, CO over the summer, but kept postponing the trip to follow our state's COVID travel restrictions. We
We recently camped at the Angel Peak Scenic Area in northern New Mexico, and wanted to share some beautiful pictures and local tips with you. We've lived in northern New Mexico for just over a year now, and Angel Peak has been on our to-see list since we

Colorado is famous for its mountain ranges and forests. The peaks reach well over 14,000 feet , and many small towns are above 7,000 feet. We are lucky to live close to many of these towns, just on the other side of the state border in New Mexico. We
We meandered down the California stretch of highway 395 at what I would say is the perfect time of year to visit: September-November. The weather was cool and perfect for hiking with dogs, campgrounds were empty, summer tourists had already left, and winter tourists were still waiting for snow.
We are no longer full-time RVing , and as part of that transition we downsized from a diesel pusher class A motorhome to a class B van. As you may have already noticed, our lives often revolve around dogs. Here are our thoughts on picking a campervan ideally suited for us
