Couple Lives in Airstream Trailer Pulled by Retired Ambulance

Journalist Sarah Silbiger from Philadelphia spent a year in a motorhome with her partner and published a report on the practical and psychological aspects of this lifestyle. She recommends Trader Joe's for simple meals and emphasizes the importance of elevation maps for route planning, for example, in Cloudcroft, where you can go from desert to snow in 30 minutes. Silbiger advises maintaining hobbies, using rituals (such as eating ice cream together) to relieve stress, and clearly setting personal boundaries. The couple got engaged in Green Lake State Park, New York.

In an essay for The Boston Globe, James A. Lomastro reflects on how his campervan, which has traveled 55,000 miles over 20 years, became a record of his marriage.

Now their dog travels with them, and each arrival at Salisbury Beach evokes memories of past trips.

The City of Seattle and the Mayor's office have released new details about the planned RV and tiny home safe lot at Glassyard Commons, located at 7200 2nd Ave SW in Highland Park. The site, owned by WSDOT and leased to the Low Income Housing Institute, is scheduled to open in November 2026 and will feature 72 RV stalls and 20 tiny homes. The city plans to add positions to the Human Services Department and increase funding for contracted outreach services, while also reviewing the impact on RV towing and storage costs. However, the initiative faces criticism from We Heart Seattle, which argues it repeats a failed playbook and raises unresolved questions about eligibility, costs, and compliance with the state Supreme Court ruling on towing fees.

Construction is underway at Rock & Brews Casino in Braman, Oklahoma, on a major expansion that includes a 25,000 sq. ft. entertainment center and a 21-space full-service RV park. The RV park, located about 100 yards southeast of the casino, is expected to be completed in October 2026, while the R&B Live entertainment center is slated for completion in August 2027. The entertainment center will feature a 1,000-seat venue for concerts, comedy, boxing, MMA, and other events, along with a bistro-style bar, an open gathering space, and a VIP dining room. The RV park will offer full hookups (water, sewer, electricity) and a 1,200 sq. ft. clubhouse with restrooms, showers, and laundry facilities. The project follows strong demand for the casino's existing boondocking program, which provides complimentary app-based overnight stays without hookups.
