Whether you are a rookie or have been camping in RV’s for years, you can make a mistake now and then. Even I have had foolish errors in judgement, and I’ve been RV’ing for several years now.

Ashley and her family of six, aka Boondockers Welcome members TinyShinyHome, are travelling North America in their renovated, vintage Airstream. They're sharing much of what they learn along the way through videos and guides.

Whether you are a rookie or have been camping in RVs for years, you can make a mistake now and then.  Sometimes you just don’t know any better.  Sometimes you get out of sync with your routine.  Even experts get complacent or forgetful.

RVing can work for almost any budget. You can buy a brand new diesel pusher bus for half a million dollars… or you can buy a used pop-up trailer for $1000 and tow it with the family minivan. If you’re looking to get started RVing on a budget, then a trailer will definitely be your cheapest option, but if you don’t currently own something that you can tow a trailer with, buying a second hand tow vehicle may also be in the cards.

It's summertime and boondocking is easy and free - until we need to run the A/C!

Boondocking is camping without hookups. Yet 80% of Boondockers Welcome hosts generously offer electric, water, or both. Let's be sure hosts know how much we travelers appreciate this option!
