This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Aleja, 29, and Blake Briles, 31, about their journey traveling across the western US with two young children, Everest and Olaya , in an RV. They chronicle their journeyWe had gone on a long road trip during Covid and decided to hide out for about a month and a half at Blake's parents' house in Oregon.
It cost $100,000. We were able to get it for a lot less than the newer models because we still wanted to be smart with the money that we made from selling the house for $450,000. And I would say we've put $15,000 or $20,000 into renovations.Blake: We put in a massive solar system and power system. The certain RV lifestyle that we chose was more off-grid and out in nature and not tucked into an RV park. So we wanted to do it in a way to be able to imagine our dream that we once spoke of, of being in nature, being at all these places, but not being tucked in like sardines to an RV park.That translates to, essentially, spending $0 on camping spots.
If you're not smart with planning out your trips from one state to another, it can be a money pit. You can't go,"I want to go to New Mexico today and then I want to go back to California."
