Couple visits all 50 US states in 5 years in a motorhome
Original source: Business Insider

In Brief

A Texas couple sold their home in 2020 and visited all 50 US states in a motorhome over five years. The journey ended in West Virginia in late 2025.

A Texas couple sold their home in 2020 and switched to full-time motorhome living. Over five years, they visited all 50 US states, completing the route in West Virginia at the end of 2025.

The trip was funded by a military pension, campground work, and social media income. According to the couple, this lifestyle is cheaper than maintaining their former home. One source reports average monthly diesel costs of about 550 euros; another states fuel expenses of around 600 dollars per month.

After completing the mission, the couple plans to slow down their travel pace.

A new 55-plus RV park, Sunset Village, is being developed in Benton County, Minnesota, on a 10-acre property along the channel between Little Rock Lake and the Mississippi River, purchased about 1.5 years ago. The project will have 47 lots with park model homes in six styles, priced between $125,000 and $150,000, with a $6,000 annual association fee. A $500 deposit reserves a lot. Four lots have been reserved so far. The community will operate from mid-April to mid-October and include shuffleboard, horseshoes, community gardens, a dog park, walking trails, kayaks, canoes, a clubhouse or pavilion, and sunset pontoon cruises. Up to 27 boat slips have been approved.

At a Maverik fuel station in Montrose, Colorado, a motorhome driver mistakenly connected a waste hose to an underground diesel tank instead of the designated dump station. Between 38,000 and 76,000 litres of diesel were contaminated and deemed unsellable. The station had to temporarily close all diesel pumps and drain and clean the tank. The incident occurred over the Memorial Day weekend in May.

Gulf Stream Coach will host its annual Open House display from Sept. 28 to Oct. 1 in Elkhart, Indiana.

The display will be open daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., with show incentives and meals provided for dealers.

Outpost Outfitters, Maine's newest RV dealership, will make its first appearance at the Cumberland Fair from Sept. 27 to Oct. 3. The display will include an Ember RV Overland, a Kropf Park Home RV Eldorado and a Grand Design Imagine, with sales, customer service and service teams present. The dealership offers service, parts, winterization and storage, focusing on year-round ownership. Visitors can book private tours with Bill Schwarz during the fair.
