RV Park – RV-on-FIRE

On The Road Again……..

Published on October 13, 2026October 12, 2026 by RV-on-FIRE.com2 Comments

All of the major hurdles cleared and the sale of our home closed on time. Yeah, I remember this feeling from the last time we sold everything and hit the road in 2021. It’s very easily summed up. Oh shit!!

Once we got the all-clear, we immediately went into action. We set up our new domicile address, rented a storage unit, changed our driver’s licenses, changed our vehicle registrations, set up full-timer’s insurance and worst of all, started packing. I HATE packing!!

We had less than two weeks to get everything packed up, moved into storage and have our RV ready to roll. Loading up the moving truck and then unloading it into our storage damn near killed both of us! I don’t think I have had that hard of a workout in a decade and the days afterwards were painful.

Out With The New, In With The Old

Published on September 11, 2026September 10, 2026 by RV-on-FIRE.com2 Comments

After 100 plus days of self imposed torture we are finally under contract to sell our home. Bittersweet is probably the only way to describe our feelings.

We have many moments of excitement thinking about getting back on the road. I’m sure once that happens we will enjoy every minute of it as we did before. Right now those moments are typically followed by the disappointment and stress.

This entire process has taken a toll, but it’s just something we need to work through. Once we get it all sorted out we certain we can get back to enjoying life on the road as we did before.

December 2023 Financial Update

Published on January 14, 2024April 11, 2026 by Leave a comment

Welcome to our December 2023 financial update blog! We are a little late getting this blog published. The new year has started off with a bang and there hasn’t been any spare time to dedicate to writing.

Our first task of the new year was a planned trip back to California. This trip had been planned for awhile but turned into a dual purpose trip. The main objective was to visit Mrs. RVF’s side of the family as we haven’t seen them in quite a long time. However, in light of our purchase of a nice plot of acreage in Texas we also needed to break the news to them. Yes, we really meant it when we said we are not going back to live in California…….EVER! The conversation went much better than we expected. It’s great to have support from family and friends when big decisions are made.

Forever Home Found……..and Lost

Published on November 22, 2023April 11, 2026 by 3 Comments

As ours reader are probably aware of by now, we have been looking a location to find or build our forever home. Over the last few months our search has taken us from Montana down to Texas and everything in between. While our forever home search started out very wide, and across several states, it has since narrowed. As much as we love Montana and our temporary home state of South Dakota the winters are too large of a negative to overcome. After considering states like Utah and Nevada we have narrowed our search to parts of Texas. This however still feels like half the country anyway.

Over the last few weeks a lot has transpired and eventually reached a crescendo late last week. Honestly we were hoping this would be the blog where we expressed our excitement about entering a new phase of our lives. But despite giving it our best effort and even going out on a limb financially it wasn’t meant to be.

Campground Review – Sunrise Ridge Campground

Published on September 24, 2023April 11, 2026 by Leave a comment

In this edition of our campground review series we will be reviewing Sunrise Ridge Campground located in Hot Springs, SD.

Sunrise Ridge Campground is located off of highway 385 just outside of the historic town of Hot Springs. We booked a one month stay in the month of July 2023 and chose this location because we needed to be within driving distance of Rapid City. We prefer a quiet small town over being in a city. And quite honestly there’s not much to choose from that are decent and have a reasonable price in South Dakota.

Campground Review – Jim & Mary’s RV Park

Published on August 20, 2023April 11, 2026 by Leave a comment

In this edition of our campground review series we will be reviewing Jim & Mary’s RV Park located in Wye, MT.

This was our first visit to Jim & Mary’s RV Park and it was a place we were super excited about. Many folks on social media RV groups had mentioned this RV park as one of their favorite places in Montana. So we had high hopes and booked a stay for most of June and early July 2023.

Jim & Mary’s RV Park is located off of interstate 90 just outside of Missoula at the exit for US 93. The location is super easy to find and all you really need to do is make sure you turn at the correct street as the signage could be a little confusing.

Campground Review – Juniper Campground

Published on July 17, 2023April 11, 2026 by Leave a comment

In this edition of our campground review series we will be reviewing Juniper Campground located in Ririe, ID.

This was our first stay at Juniper Campground and we booked one full week in May 2023. This stop on our journey was just supposed to be a short layover on our way to bigger things. As it turns out, we might have discovered a hidden gem that we would like to return to some day.

Juniper Campground is located off Idaho state highway 26 which you can catch out of Idaho Falls. Finding the resort isn’t too difficult, but it is a pretty good distance from the time you get off Interstate 15 until you arrive at the campground. Just a heads up, you will also take a country road through farmland down to the campground. It’s paved, but it’s remote. When you are 40 ft long and towing a vehicle getting on the back roads can be a little sketchy. It’s a lot of trust to put into a GPS system that has failed us before. Needless to say, we were extremely happy when we cam around the bend and saw the reservoir and the campground ahead of us.
