Getting Started “Believe you can and you’re halfway there.” -Theodore Roosevelt We’ve known people that researched and dreamed of a mobile lifestyle for years.  Some waited until retirement to make the move.  Some quickly made the decision and sold everything and hit the road without a plan.  And, you know, it seems to have worked out for all of them…except those that didn’t get started.

Yes, we are crazy! But, you see, we were new to workamping and it sounded like such a great deal:  good pay, lots of hours, RV site and utilities included. If you are accustomed to rather vigorous manual labor in ten hour stretches and no time for a life outside of work, you would have no problem working at an Amazon Fulfillment Center (AFC).  The work environment itself requires no cellphones, no watches, and virtually no jewelry.  You can pack a lunch and snacks or avail yourself of vending machine offerings.  There are no chairs or stools as all jobs require standing and some requireRead More →

“What is the easy way to get more shade for my porch or patio area?” We are often asked how to add shade to an outdoor space. Any tiny home could use some extra shade for comfortable outdoor living.  And, a great do-it-yourself solution is a retractable RV Patio Awning.  These awnings are offered in many models with different features.  Most folks don’t need a motorized unit, nor even, a spring assisted model like you see on most RV’s.  Rather, Carefree of Colorado manufactures the Pioneer Manual Crank-Out Awning which is intended for motorhomes and campers (including your tiny home).
