In this episode of RV Miles, we reflect on our nine-year journey as full-time and part-time RVers, including the different chapters and challenges we've encountered along the way. We discuss everything from converting and living in a school bus, transitioning to a travel trailer, navigating Jason's brain surgery, the impact of the pandemic, and recent changes as we prepare for our oldest son's college journey.
