We are off today to our first dog sit through Trusted Housesitters, taking a 10-day break from the RV. We used to do homeexchange.com when we still owned our house - one trip was 90 days and 50% was in homes, for free. Hoping to recreate this kind of thing with the dog-sitting - my hubby is a serious dog-lover and we lost our dog a couple years ago and aren't getting another as long as we're in a 25-footer. #noroom Anyone else doing house or dog sits? Happy to bring a report, but everyone I've encountered who's used this platform says it's great.

Whenever I'm near family, I take the opportunity to charge my powerstation and use all other amenities that are available to me. What's your cheat code when travelling? Do you have multiple? Share them with us!!🧡🔥

Yesterday I arrived at a new free camper spot in Vidreres, Spain and in the evening I suddenly got a knock. It was an older Dutch man. He had seen that I was Dutch too, and warned me to make sure to securely close my camper because the previous night some campers had been broken into. 👇 Would you stay or leave?

I'm curious to know how you all are able to travel freely? What is your occupation? Any advice?

We face challenges every day and the last week has been exceptional. We’ve had endless grey clouds and torrential rain peppered with wind and the really annoying rain that you could just dodge the rain drops - stops all outside activities and kids revert to the camper. Our current set up is 1 king size bed at rear like most campers then we have a pull down between single and double size bed, I added that in June this year. Mainly to stop having to fix and unfix 3 kids car seats every day. We have a double at the front (when i move the car seats) and add in a bed board. I added that December last year. We have a pop top with kids beds in the roof. Then when it gets cold i go in the roof! I put this in before we moved in to the camper. I have had a dividing wall in the middle so bedroom area was out of sight, but removed that in April to make the van open plan. So we now have during day 6 seats and a fixed bed with a sitting area along the side. This is the base for the fold down bed. I am going to add a kitchen to cook inside as the UK weather is challenging in the rain. In Portugal where everything we own is currently, this is not a problem. So from setting off I’ve changed van layout 5 times and now we have room and lots of beds. How many of you hit the perfect formula and get it right first time? Definitely adding a kitchen in the next few weeks.
