Meet The Dixon's
Steven, Brittany & Our Twins Kenna & Layla
We have been camping for years - Weekend camping, tent camping and camping for vacations. Eventually we upgraded from tents to an old 28 foot fifth wheel that we took to Missouri and Michigan to explore.
In 2020 we camped more than ever so that we could still explore. We quickly realized how short life really is and how much we loved seeing new things. Living in an RV was always a big dream for the far future.
But 2023 came and the stars aligned wiht a remote job opportunity for Steven and we decided to jump in and hit the road! We bought a new truck, upgraded our RV and prepped for the Adventure of a lifetime. We left home Sept 10th, 2023 and have been on the road ever since.
