Our Full-Time Home on Wheels | First Gen Tundra Go Fast Camper Tour
We finally filmed a full tour of Dolores, our truck camper that we’ve been living, working, and traveling in full-time since 2022 — exploring remote backroads across North America. We built this rig prioritizing off-road capability, efficient storage, and a solar and electrical system that allows us to work from anywhere.

We Have a Box! | The Peanut Build Out
We found an S-280 shelter up for auction on govplanet.com in Yermo, California. We made the decision that it was the right box for us based on its size, location, condition, and potential price. Thankfully we were able to win the auction at a very reasonable price, and started making moves to get it shipped to us.
Roxanne the Van
Less than a year into dating we decided that we were going to buy a van together, turn it into a sweet little camper, and move into it together to save money on rent and spend more time playing outside.
