Did We Make a MISTAKE Driving Our Big Rig to New England?

Book a campsite at the Herkimer Diamond KOA Resort (tell them Open Roading sent you!) → https://koa.com/campgrounds/herkimer/ We knew bringing our big rig to New England might be tricky with its narrow roads and low bridges, but we didn’t expect the challenge to start before we even left our family’s neighborhood. As our Garmin kept trying to send us places we definitely should not go, this travel day had us wondering if bringing our Brinkley RV to the Northeast was a mistake!

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 that helped keep us on the road and funded the biggest RV trip of our lifetime—Alaska. We recently upgraded to a Brinkley Z3515 (yes, the RV with office space!). Subscribe to our RV living channel to find out what's next!
