The Solution Series: RV Living and Traveling Tips with Thom and Robin Walker

By Corey Lynn and James White

One thing is certain about the human species, and that’s the fact that we love to travel. But while our ancestors made their way from Point A to Point B in covered wagons, today we have the option (if our pockets are deep enough) of essentially having a fully functioning home on wheels. The adventures that await those who choose this lifestyle are boundless.

Our guests on this edition of the Solution Series, Thom and Robin Walker, are living their dream, one day at a time, in their 40-foot-plus RV. Thom and Robin do a wonderful job of explaining RV living—from the initial purchase of an RV all the way to tips for successfully traveling cross-country while building networks with other travelers and homeschooling one’s children.

With the popularity of “RVing” at its highest levels ever, there is no time like the present to go “wheels-up.” As Orange Coast Magazine noted in 2000, “The greatest thing about the RV lifestyle is the people you meet, and the camaraderie enjoyed.” If you plan on RV living or have ever wondered what it might be like, this episode is not to be missed!
