RV Untethered Gets REAL About 4+ Years on the Road | RV Trash Talk Podcast
What started as a plan to travel for a month turned into more than four years of full-time RV living for Cody and Angela of RV Untethered!
In this episode of RV Trash Talk, we sit down with Cody and Angela to hear the story behind their decision to leave the traditional lifestyle behind and embrace life on the road. They share what they learned from more than four years of full-time RV travel, the mistakes they made along the way, and why they still wouldn't trade this lifestyle.
We talk about everything from buying RVs and boondocking to traveling with your spouse, working from the road, choosing destinations, and the importance of the RV community.
And, of course, there are plenty of laughs along the way—including their infamous truck camper renovation, broken bike racks, questionable camping decisions, and the "Oh Boy!" moments that come with life on the road.
In this episode: • How RV Untethered went from planning a one-month trip to four+ years on the road • What pushed Cody and Angela to finally "untether" from traditional life • The reality of working while traveling full-time • What they wish they knew before becoming full-time RVers • Why they recommend considering a one-year-old RV instead of buying new • Full hookups vs. boondocking—and why they prefer each for different reasons • Their experience with a truck camper and why they say NOT to buy an old one to renovate • Their favorite destinations and biggest surprises along the way • How RV life has strengthened their marriage • The people and community they've met through RVing • Their biggest RV fears—and whether those fears came true • The hilarious "Oh Boy!" moments that happen when you're living on the road • What's next for RV Untethered
If you've ever dreamed about selling everything, hitting the road, and embracing full-time RV life, this is an episode you won't want to miss!
