We're Joe + Kalyn! As online entrepreneurs, we thought, "why not work from home... on the road"? So in 2019, we bought and renovated a 2005 Jayco Designer Fifth Wheel, which took us to every state in the lower 48. But the economy hit our business especially hard after the 'vid, spurring us to pivot in new directions and try different strategies, including various RV work camping jobs! We recently funded the biggest RV trip of our lifetime—Alaska. Subscribe to our RV living channel to find out what's next!
