A Shared Love of Travel, Simple Living, and Life on the Road
We’re Joe and Jana Martin—husband and wife, coffee drinkers, beach lovers, and fellow adventurers. We’re glad you’re here.
We spent four years living and traveling full-time in an RV, including eight months in the Florida Keys. That chapter gave us time to explore a different way of living together: fewer ties to one place, more time for the places we love, and the flexibility to make the journey our own.
Then we took a break from the road to homestead. Now we’re preparing to return to RV travel, bringing what we learned from both chapters with us. FullTimeRVCamping.com is where we share that experience—and the planning that goes into what comes next.
Four Years of Calling an RV Home
For us, RVing has been more than a vacation. For four years, it was our everyday life. The RV was home, and travel was something we could build our days around rather than save for an occasional getaway.
Our eight months in the Florida Keys were part of that experience. We love the beach, and having the freedom to stay somewhere longer is one of the things we appreciate about RV travel. A place doesn’t have to be a quick stop on the way to the next one.
We also know that life on wheels still comes with ordinary responsibilities. There are meals to make, expenses to plan for, and decisions about where to go and how long to stay. That practical side belongs in the story too.
A Homesteading Chapter—and a Return to the Road
After those four years, we stepped away from full-time travel and spent time homesteading. It was a different kind of adventure, with a home base and a different daily rhythm.
Now we’re preparing for another chapter of RV travel. We’re thinking about how we want our days to feel, what we need to take with us, and what we want to do differently this time. We’re sharing the process as we go.
We don’t believe everyone needs to follow the same route or travel full-time to enjoy RV life. A weekend away, a longer seasonal stay, or a new home on wheels can each be worthwhile. What matters is finding an arrangement that works for the people sharing the journey.

Our Why
We believe RV travel is about more than seeing new places. It’s about how we spend our time together and making room for the things that matter to us. We want a life with freedom to explore, time to enjoy a place, and a practical plan that supports it. We’re sharing what we’ve learned to help you find your own version of that freedom.
