We upgraded our camper!

After 19 months in our 24’ travel trailer, we decided it was time for a bit more room, so we upgraded to a 42’ 5th wheel!

We’re really excited about this. We get to host all of the grandparents for Thanksgiving this year. Both Rob’s mom and my parents will be here and I can’t wait! Rob’s mom will stay with us, but my parents are bringing their own camper and will camp next to us.

We can now get rid of our storage unit. We’ll go through it and either it comes with us in the 5th wheel, or it needs to go!

Emily will have her own room because this camper is a mid-bunk style which means it has a 2nd bedroom. It came with a sofa and a tiny bunk above that, but neither were comfortable, so we took those out and Rob built her a twin size day bed. She can pile up the pillows and use it as a sofa, or as a bed. He also made room for lots of storage under her bed in addition to what comes in her room.

The living room has a sofa that turns into a full size bed, plus 2 recliners! So we have seating for everyone at once.

The kitchen island will be wonderful for cooking and preparing meals while also having lots of room to walk around.


We aren’t buying a bigger truck at this point. We can’t travel full-time due to Rob’s job anyway, so we might as well save money on the truck. We’ll get one later if we need it.


Looking forward to making lots of great memories in our new home!
