Wiser’s Story Selling It All & Transitioning to RV Life

THIS POST MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS. PLEASE READ MY DISCLOSURE FOR MORE INFO.

Today, you’ll meet Eric and Rachel Wiser who sold everything to RV full-time while transitioning to RV life on a modest budget, live a more simplistic life, and work camping in truly beautiful locations like Bar Harbor, Maine and The Keys in Florida.

Many times people think you have to be independently wealthy to RV full-time or travel full-time, but that just isn’t the case.

If you’ve been watching my YouTube channel and reading my blog, you’ll know that I didn’t inherit money to live this traveling life – far from it! I hold a job where I work remotely.

I think Eric says it best in the video interview, that if you want this traveling lifestyle, you can have it. There’s money to made out there in the world, but you’ll have to make some choices on how you want to live and what you can afford without over extending yourself.

During their interview, we had so many laughs and we dived deep into the following topics:

• How they are transitioning to RV life
• Describe their financial situation
• What kind of budget they live on
• What the process was for them to get a work camping job
• How their life has been since transitioning to RV life from a home
• What their day is like while work camping and living in a beautiful location
• They also give us a tour of their RV and what modifications they made to their RV, their solar set-up, composting toilet, and more.

Meet Eric and Rachel Wiser

Eric and Rachel are a young couple who decided that living in a traditional home, that you pay off over 30 years, just wasn’t for them anymore. They want to live more fully, explore the world, and create a life that is full of truly amazing stories.

I met Eric and Rachel while we were both at AM Solar in Eugene, Oregon to install solar panels. It was a chance encounter that brought us together again in Bar Harbor, Maine where I stayed for a week and had the chance to really get to know this couple and hear their story.

We toured all around Bar Harbor, Maine together – well – Eric chauffeured us around in his Jeep – and explored the area. It was my first time in Maine so I was so thankful that Eric and Rachel had already been here for a couple of months, work camping at an RV resort, so they knew all of the great spots to sightsee.

I decided during that week that I just had to interview them.

They are an extension of why I started this blog and YouTube channel – to share not only my stories and experiences, but also others who live a really great life they actively created.

These stories and experiences are shared to inspire and break apart the myths that only wealthy people, or people who are fearless, or people who were just handed everything, live this life and can travel full-time or even part-time.

The truth is that you can have a life of travel as well. It’s just about figuring out how to create it and then taking action.

Making Your Dreams a Reality

Your dreams don’t have to be about RVing or traveling, it can be anything that you’ve been wanting to create in your life.

Dreams are not always meant to be easy, but there’s definitely a way to manifest these dreams into existence. Sometimes it comes with sacrifice and adjusting, but you can accomplish your dreams.

I’m living proof of that. The Wiser’s are living proof.

We’re not any more special than anybody else in this world. We just took some steps that helped us get to where we are today that were successful and allowed us to step into living a life that we have actively created.
