Before the RV, life looked pretty familiar. We ran our CPA firm, worked constantly, and squeezed in a week of vacation here and there when we could. It was a good life, but it was a busy one, and the road wasn't really part of it.
That started to change in 2011 when we bought The Binker Lee. It wasn't a grand plan. It was just a camper for occasional weekend use. But the RV bug hit fast, and the occasional weekend trip started turning into something more.
The real shift happened gradually, not all at once. Our firm had always leaned into technology, and as the internet improved, so did the ability to work from anywhere. A campsite with decent connectivity started to feel a lot like an office, just one with better scenery and no commute.
Two things pushed it further. Spending part of the winters in the Florida Keys allowed us to chase 75-degree weather while the rest of the country dealt with the cold. Then summers up north allowed us to escape the heat.
That's how occasional trips became travel for much of the year. We still have a home base just south of Charlotte, NC. We still run a full CPA firm. But we now spend about 60% of the year on the road, sometimes more, and we have no plans to wind it back. Oh yeah, and that CPA firm now works with campgrounds and RV resorts throughout the country as one of its primary focuses.
Roadsheaux is what came out of all of it. Part travel journal, part honest resource for anyone curious about what this kind of life actually looks like.
