Do We REGRET Buying a Chevy to Tow Our Brinkley RV?

Last year, we had to replace our Ford truck QUICKLY. We picked a new truck that could manage towing a fifth wheel (the Brinkley RV we wanted to buy!) and would fit our budget. But did it live up to expectations? This week, we break down our first year with the Chevy Silverado 3500 High Country—what surprised us, what we love, and what we wish was different.

Hey there! 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! We love boondocking in remote locations, adventuring through the national parks, and uncovering hidden gems, all while sharing the reality of full-time RV Life and making you laugh along the way.

We participate in several affiliate programs. If you make a purchase through any of our links, we receive a small commission at no extra cost to you!
