This is NOT how we planned this trip. We left our work camp spot in Vermont and, no joke, about three hours into the drive our truck started smoking and it went downhill fast. In this video I’m walking you through what it feels like when your whole home-on-wheels suddenly turns into a giant question mark on the side of the road—scared, stressed, and doing that mental math of “how broke are we about to be?” while also trying to keep the camper safe and Winston calm. We share the real RV life reality stuff—what we noticed, how quickly things escalated, and what we did next to get help and figure out if we could keep traveling with both the truck and the camper. The big takeaway: breakdowns happen, and they don’t wait for a “good time.” Having a plan (and a little patience) matters, and so does having the right gear and community when you’re stuck and unsure what’s next.
