Part Two of a two-part series.  Read Part One here. Originally published at RVinspiration.com.

In my article Why I Quit My Job and Moved Into an RV, I wrote about leaving my job as a middle school English teacher in search of a career that would give me more freedom and flexibility, and I told how my husband Josiah also went from working a desk job to working from home as freelance web designer/developer.  And, I explained how we decided to try to start a business investing in commercial real estate, move to Kansas City, and live in a fifth wheel RV (stationary, because we didn’t have a truck).

We spent the rest of 2016 giving one hundred percent to our goal of becoming commercial real estate investors.  Writing that sentence feels a bit ironic to me now, given that we had (literally) no money to invest.  It would really be more accurate to say we were trying to become “real estate entrepreneurs”–or something like that.  Our plan (what the real estate course we paid for was teaching us to do) was to find a good deal on an apartment and syndicate its purchase using funds from multiple investors.  But at the time, I would have said we were working to become real estate investors.

We traveled to Nashville, Washington D.C., and twice to Boston to attend training and networking events. We attended local real estate meet-ups and toured apartments for sale. Josiah had phone calls and lunches with brokers, property managers, and potential investors, and I crunched numbers in spreadsheets and try to find properties that seemed like they might bring good returns to our potential investors.  I had never done anything like that before, but I really enjoyed working from home on my laptop–on my own schedule–as a change from teaching.

I really enjoyed working from home on my laptop, on my own schedule, as a change from teaching.

The only problem was, we weren’t finding any apartment deals that seemed safe enough to invest in–or rather, to invest other people’s money in.  Additionally, the more we learned, the more we found out how much we had yet to learn about the world of commercial real estate.  Even though we had made some good contacts and learned a lot as a result of our real estate training program, we began to wonder if we were really on the right track.  Also, time was running out, because Josiah’s freelance web development project with a financial tech company in Philadelphia was wrapping up, and after that we were going to need some other source of income to pay the bills.  We had hoped we would have our first real estate deal by then, but it wasn’t looking too likely.

In November we nervously placed our first offer on an apartment complex in a rural community–the only one we had managed to find that we felt we could get good returns on….and it was rejected.  Not only was it rejected, but I think the owner was actually offended by our low offer, which we’d come to based margins we had been taught were safe.

In December, Josiah met a seasoned real estate investor who offered some timely wisdom that gave us pause.  He encouraged Josiah to slow down and take time to figure out exactly where he fit in the real estate industry, and to honestly ask himself what value he was providing in exchange for what he wanted in return.  He told Josiah he admired his drive and determination to succeed, and that if Josiah had come to him as a technology expert selling software, he would’ve bought it in a heartbeat!

He encouraged Josiah to honestly ask himself what value he was providing in exchange for what he wanted in return.

We let this sink in.  Maybe the time wasn’t right for our investing business.  Maybe it would be better to first spend some time working in the industry in other capacities.  Maybe Josiah could even build some sort of technology solution for real estate, like this investor had suggested.

We discussed this with our real estate business coach.  He was supportive and encouraged us to follow whatever opportunities presented themselves, and this was the confirmation we needed.  In January of 2017, we decided to put our real estate business on hold.  Josiah accepted a web development position at a local marketing agency which would require him to work with a team at a local office.  For the time being, we would be staying in Kansas City.

With each new web development job, Josiah had asked for a higher hourly wage, and with his job in Kansas City, for the first time since we had been married we were able to pay for our monthly expenses with just one income (even though our expenses were actually higher living in our RV than they’d been when lived in our house!).

I wasn’t sure what my next step would be, but in the meantime, I decided I would make use of the gift of free time that had suddenly been given me by doing some of the things I’d always wished I had time to do when I was teaching:  I discovered Ashtanga yoga and started attending classes 3-4 times per week; I made some changes in my diet and started cooking more healthy meals at home; and, since I’d often thought about learning to play the cello so I could accompany Josiah when he played the piano or guitar, I rented an instrument and started taking lessons.

Like many RV owners, I was also spending a lot of my relaxation time looking at RV Facebook groups like RV Interior Ideas.  I frequently found myself sharing ideas with other group members.  For example, someone would post a picture of their bathroom and ask, “Where can I store our towels?” and I would offer suggestions and link to helpful organizational products.

I began to notice that some of the questions were asked over and over, only to become lost in the group’s feed: “How do I paint RV cabinets?” “Can I replace my dining booth with a table and chairs?”  “Where do cat owners who live in RVs store the litter box?”  “Can I see some pictures from people who replaced their RV’s factory window decor?”  I started thinking it would be nice if there was a centralized resource for people to find this kind of information…and that’s when I came up with the idea of creating RV Inspiration.

I started thinking it would be nice if there was a centralized resource for people to find this kind of information.

I had never built a website before, but fortunately I knew a great web developer (my husband, in case you haven’t been following along!) with tons of experience who was able to help me set up a website in WordPress.  I started writing articles in March of 2017 with the goal of writing 16 articles before launching my website publicly (so my website would have plenty of content when people started visiting it).  In June of 2017, my site went live and RV Inspiration was officially born.

Blogging turned out to be a lot more work than I would have ever realized, and not just because of the writing!  I found out that running a blog for business was actually just as much or more about marketing as it was about publishing blog posts!  Fortunately, I discovered a wonderful and supportive community by connecting with other RV bloggers, and by collaborating with some of them was able to progress much more quickly than I would have on my own.

It took a full year of work before my website was making enough money just to pay for the monthly cost of running it.  But finally, as of this month (June 2018), RV Inspiration is finally earning what can be considered an actual income, and by fall, we should be able to pay our bills with just my blog income if needed and not have to depend on Josiah’s earnings.  (At some point I plan to write an article or series of articles that go more in-depth about my blogging journey.  If that’s something you’re interested in, subscribe to my email list and I will be sure to let you know when I do!)

Back to Josiah’s part of the story–

Working for the company in Kansas City as part of a large team of developers ended up providing Josiah with experience that would be crucial to his future as a technology entrepreneur.

By working with people who were the best in their field, building websites that had no room for error (his first project with this company was for Sprint.com, and his second was for Ford Motor Company), Josiah was constantly pushing past the limit of his ability, but by remaining positive even when faced with tough challenges, he earned a position of leadership.

I want to point out here, for those who might be feeling like it’s too late to start a career in technology, Josiah doesn’t have a degree in computer science.  He took a few basic coding classes in his first year of college (and I think a lot of the course material went over his head), and he actually dropped out of college and worked for several years in an unrelated field.  He only started seriously learning to code in 2014 after setting up a website for his uncle’s small business, which I explained in my last article.

Josiah’s self-education in web development was fueled by unwavering commitment to his dream of owning his own businesses, working from home or wherever he wanted, and earning the financial freedom and time freedom that would enable him to pursue his other passions.

Josiah’s self-education was fueled by unwavering commitment to his dream of owning his own businesses, working from home or wherever he wanted, and earning the financial freedom and time freedom that would enable him to pursue his other passions.

Toward the end of 2017, Josiah decided to return to the idea of building software for the real estate industry–and now he had the coding skills he needed to do it.  He wasn’t sure what to build, but he leveraged his networking skills (practiced during our year as “real estate investors”) and ended up connecting with a couple of (actual) commercial real estate investors in need of a software solution who were happy to tell him what to build.

After a few months of long weekends and early mornings building the software before and after his day job, one of those investors offered to partner with him, which meant in exchange for equity in Josiah’s new company, Josiah would receive a salary and work directly with the investor out of his Dallas office while finishing the product.  So in April of this year (2018), Josiah resigned from his job in Kansas City, and we paid someone to haul our fifth wheel to an RV park in Aubrey, Texas–our first move as digital nomads!

Final thoughts

Taking the first steps toward our business and lifestyle goals required courage.  We frequently questioned the wisdom of the choices we were making–and if we had it to do over again, I’m sure we’d do some things differently.  Our path wasn’t as linear as we had imagined.  Although we love living in our fifth wheel and buying an RV is not part of the story we would change, we didn’t expect that we would spend years parked in the same location!

We also didn’t just throw caution to the wind and risk everything haphazardly.  We weighed possible consequences and planned and prepared as best we could.  But at the end of the day, it took a leap of faith, and without that, we never would have had the opportunities we’e had.  By first putting forth our own effort to create the life we wanted, and not just once, but consistently over time, more options have become available to us.  And we’re finally starting to see the fruit of our labor, as the lifestyle we’ve been working toward–a life lived on our terms–is starting to take shape.

Update 11/5/2019:

For an update on Josiah’s business, InvestorDealRoom.com, you can listen to this interview with him on The RV Entrepreneur podcast.

Also…plot twist!  At the end of 2018, after 9 months in Texas, we were finally both able to work remotely, so we decided to return to Springfield “for a few months” in our RV…and ended up liking it so much we’ve decided to make it our official home base!  We plan to downsize our RV and have rented a house in the meantime.  You can read more details in my blog post, “What We Did and Didn’t Like About Living in an RV Full Time”.

I’m finding that a lot of people share the dream my husband I have: to live a life of freedom and purpose, and to have a job that’s flexible enough to support that.

Part One of a Two-Part Series.  Read Part Two here. Originally published at RVinspiration.com.

Everyone who lives in an RV has a story.  Here’s ours.

In 2015, I was a middle school English teacher.  I had been teaching for five years, and even though the job had been a huge personal challenge for me (especially in the first few years), I had wonderful students and co-workers, felt proud of my accomplishments, and had developed my classroom systems to the point where the job wasn’t as overwhelming as when I first started out.

But while I was passionate about education (and still am), teaching in a traditional classroom setting was never what I wanted to do long term, and at that point I felt ready to move on.  I wished for a job that wasn’t so demanding of my time and energy.  I wanted to be able to earn a living doing something I loved and could do well at, yet still have time in my day for other things that were important to me: exercising, cooking healthy meals, playing music, doing projects around the house….eventually maybe raising kids.  I have many fond memories of and deep appreciation for my time as a teacher, and I have a lot of respect for teachers, but I didn’t want to be one forever.

I have a lot of respect for teachers, but I didn’t want to be one forever.

The problem was, I felt stuck.  At that time, my husband Josiah’s income from freelance web design was sporadic, and we depended on my paycheck to pay our bills.  At times I considered looking for a different job, but I knew from my experience job hunting after college that in the city where we lived, the only jobs my degree in English qualified me for were entry level office jobs–receptionist, administrative assistant, etc.–and those kinds of jobs weren’t going to pay enough for us to live on, nor were they necessarily going to help me reach my goals any better than teaching would have.

Then one day, I was scrolling through Facebook when I saw an advertisement for a workshop that was coming to our town where people could learn about fixing and flipping houses.  We were watching a lot of Fixer Upper and Flip or Flop on HGTV at that time, and when I saw that ad, the thought struck me: I could learn a different career!  Josiah and I had remodeled our own house after we bought it as a foreclosure; maybe we could do that as a business, just like the people on HGTV!  And in the meantime, maybe I could get a real estate license and work as a realtor!

The light bulb moment for me was the realization that my career options didn’t have to be limited to jobs I was already qualified for; if I wanted to get a job doing something else, I could become qualified!  I had already learned how to be a teacher; if I wanted to do something else, I was sure I could learn how to do it, too!

My career options didn’t have to be limited to jobs I was already qualified for; if I wanted to get a job doing something else, I could become qualified!

I told Josiah about my idea, and he was enthusiastic.  He immediately started reading books about how to make money flipping houses and from there ended up learning about other types of real estate investing.  As a result of his research, he concluded that the real money in real estate was not in flipping houses, but in commercial real estate.  He found what some might call “a guru course” that promised to teach people how to start syndicating real estate deals–essentially “fixing and flipping” apartments.  A few months later, I handed in my resignation, and we pooled all of our resources to purchase the commercial real estate training course and embark on our new career as commercial real estate investors.

Oh yeah – and we decided to buy an RV to live in.

Oh yeah – and we decided to buy an RV to live in. (Ha–I almost forgot that’s what this whole article is supposed to be about!)  Before I can explain about the RV though, I have to back up and tell a little more about Josiah’s career path.

When we got married in 2011, Josiah was working in the billing department of a hospital–a job that was about as exciting to him as being a paper salesman was to Jim Halpert in the TV show The Office.  Which was why he wasn’t too heartbroken when, in 2013, he was laid off and given a nice severance package.

Around that same time, Josiah’s uncle was trying to start a kitchen and bath resurfacing business, and was about ready to throw in the towel because he was having trouble getting customers. Josiah decided to help his uncle out by building him a website.  Josiah had taken a few very basic coding classes in the past and had also put up a blog type website for himself at one point, so he figured he could get something decent built for his uncle.  He did just that, and with a business website and little bit of SEO, Josiah’s uncle started getting phone calls from potential customers.

After seeing the difference a simple website could make for a small business owner, Josiah started thinking maybe he could go into business building websites for people, and that led him to a career in freelance web design and development.  He started improving his coding skills with help from TeamTreehouse.com and CodeAcademy.com, and pretty soon he was starting to get jobs through Upwork.com.

With each job, Josiah’s skills and experience increased, as did his pay, and at the point we decided to pursue a career in real estate, he was working in a long-term freelance contract for a financial tech company based in Philadelphia, so we knew we’d be able to pay our bills at least until that project ended.

I still haven’t explained how the RV fit into all this.

Our dream of living in an RV started one night when we both woke up in the middle of the night, and out of the blue, Josiah said to me, “I think at some point we’ll be living and traveling around in an RV.”

One night we both woke up in the middle of the night, and out of the blue, Josiah said to me, “I think at some point we’ll be living and traveling around in an RV.”

This wasn’t something we’d ever discussed before, but when I was younger I used to think it might be fun to live in RV someday, so I was excited when he suggested it.  It sounded thrilling and adventurous, and additionally, we had become aware of the Tiny House and Minimalism movements and found both of these lifestyles appealing.

After that conversation (which happened sometime in 2015), we started spending a lot of time looking at RVs online and even touring them at local dealerships.  I also started saving RV decor and organization ideas on Pinterest. (I had a much harder time finding those kinds of ideas then compared to now, which is a big part of why I ended up starting this blog…but I’ll tell more about that in Part 2!)  We weren’t sure how soon we’d actually get to live in an RV, or really even why we would be living in one, but we had caught RV fever!

We had caught RV fever!

Along with starting a new career in real estate, we decided to move three and a half hours away to Kansas City after my final school year ended, because it supposedly had an up-and-coming real estate market.  Since I was quitting my job and Josiah’s income was sporadic, we knew we probably wouldn’t qualify for another home loan, and we really didn’t want to buy a house in Kansas City anyway because we weren’t sure how long we’d stay there; if Kansas City turned out to not be a good place to invest in real estate after all, we wanted to be able to easily go someplace else.

It seemed to us like the perfect opportunity to make our dream of living in an RV come true.  We found a fifth wheel we liked and decided to finance it (we applied for the loan before I quit my job and we sold our house!).  We didn’t have enough money to buy a truck yet, but we figured we could just live stationary in the RV until after we syndicated our first apartment purchase, and then we could buy a truck and move wherever we wanted to invest next.

So in July of 2016, we signed the papers on our Keystone Everest and had it delivered to a mobile home park in Kansas City, Kansas…which is exactly where it stayed for the next two years!

So that’s how we ended up living in an RV, ha!

But there’s obviously more to our story.  We no longer live in Kansas City, and our careers took a different path than we had planned (which I’m grateful for!).

RV Tour with Ashley Mann, Founder of RV Inspiration

Originally published at RVinspiration.com

Coat Rack

On the wall to the left of the door we added a coat rack, mounted using the screws that came with it.

Drop Zone for Hats, Gloves, etc.

To the right of the door we have wall baskets from World Market where we store hats and gloves, bills, stamps, checkbooks, and all the little odds and ends that it’s nice to drop somewhere when you first come inside.

Dining Area

Continuing with the tour, this is our dining area.  This is actually the first dining table we have owned since we got married in 2011, and I am so happy that we can now sit down together for meals instead of just eating on the couch while watching TV or looking at our laptops.  I also love that there is hidden storage under the table top and chair seats.

As you can see, I decided to add curtains after being inspired by other RV owners’ window coverings.  I also added a rack for my wine and liquor glasses.  I will definitely find a way to protect the glasses when we move the RV.

Here is a DIY project I did.  On the wall between the dining table and couch is this wall sconce.  In looking for ways to add some color to the RV, I decided to make a cover for it that I could remove and change if I wanted.  You can read all about that project in this blog post.

2018 Update – Replaced the Dining Table

I decided to get rid of our dining set and replace it instead with an armchair from Wayfair.com and a folding table from Ikea along with a couple of matching folding stools which I got from Etsy (they’re not pictured but you can see what they look like here – the guy who made them was kind enough to make them a couple of inches taller for me since I added wheels to the bottom of my table legs and this raised the height of the table).

I also moved my sewing machine next to the couch.  This freed up a lot of space in the living area, plus added an extra comfy place to sit.  And if we want to sit at a table for dinner, or if I need extra counter space for cooking, we can always pull out the table.

Sofa Upgrade

Next we come to the couch.  This was the couch that came with our RV.  It was a sleeper sofa with an inflatable air mattress.

At first I had planned to keep the sofa and cover it with a slipcover.  I bought this slipcover and really liked how it looked.  Kitty liked it too, apparently.

But unfortunately the couch just wasn’t comfortable to sit on.  Since it was our main seating for every day, we decided to buy a new couch, and ended up deciding on the “Norsborg” sofa from Ikea (since discontinued), which came in a box and was assembled in our living room.

Something else we added to the RV was this storage ottoman / coffee table that I’d had for years but spray painted and reupholstered with a canvas drop cloth when we moved into the RV.  We use it to store shoes that we don’t wear as often.

Adding a Shelf Behind the Sofa

I built this shelf to go behind the couch using 1″x6″ lumber and shelf brackets as an extra place to set potted herbs during the winter, because one can never have enough plants!  The shelf brackets are mounted on the wall with screws and wall anchors and have been very sturdy.

[irp posts=”1110″ name=”Mobile Gardening Ideas for Full Time RVers”]

Kitty likes the shelf because he can sit on it to monitor the neighborhood.

Window Treatment Replacement

I made my curtains out of flat sheets.  (You can also see my bird feeders, which are hung on the outside of the window using these adhesive hooks.)

I also made curtain rods out of stained dowel rods with drawer knobs in the ends and hung them using Command hooks which I hot glued directly to the top of my window shades (leaving the screws exposed in case I needed to remove them).  I would have stuck the hooks directly to the wall, but it turned out that my lovely drawer pulls were too large to allow that.

[irp posts=”1703″ name=”RV Window Makeover Ideas”]

Office & Studio Area

This is my husband Josiah’s work space.  Josiah is a web developer, and even though he currently works for a local company in Kansas City, he also works from home a lot.  He is also a musician.  Because of all that, he needed a desk that could serve multiple purposes, so he built this one using the metal frame of an old Walmart desk he used to own, but adding maple plywood slabs with a pull-out tray for his mouse and keyboard.  The electric piano can be pushed up under the shelf while Josiah is using his laptop, or pulled out for playing.

At the bottom right of the photo you can see my sewing machine, which is probably the most impractical thing we own in our RV, but I love my sewing machine so much.  It is a 1950’s Singer cabinet sewing machine that belonged to my great-grandmother, and I refinished the cabinet myself.  It is also the only sewing machine that I felt like I could understand how to use without ending up in tears of frustration.  I like being able to see exactly how the mechanism works.

Another 2018 Update – Adding an Area Rug

I really dislike our brown carpet, and since we haven’t yet gotten around to replacing it with vinyl flooring, I decided to buy an area rug.  I like the look of the living area so much better with the rug.  (This picture was taken before we replaced our dining table.)

Kitchen & Dining Area

Here’s another before and after for you: our kitchen.

Vertical Storage Added

I used mug hooks to mount wire storage baskets to the end of the cabinet for storing onions, potatoes, apples, etc., and I hung another basket for fruit over one of the cabinet doors.

[irp posts=”1100″ name=”Ideas for Storing Fruit & Vegetables in Your RV”]

Coffee Area

Below is our coffee station.  We take coffee very seriously, lol.  The espresso machine is a Breville BES870XL.  We use it for making lattes, but if we want a regular cup of coffee we use the French press sitting on top, which I highly recommend if you want a great way to make coffee that doesn’t take up a lot of space.  The wire basket on the wall came from World Market (it’s since been discontinued – here’s a similar one) and holds our manual coffee grinder, pour-over cone, and moka pot (which I used for making stovetop espresso before we got the espresso machine). Our moka pot isn’t available online currently, but this one is very similar.

Refrigerator Door Storage

On the refrigerator you can see our hygrometer/thermometer – an essential for RV living!

Our refrigerator is magnetic, so I bought magnetic hooks which I use to hang pot holders, measuring cups and spoons, etc.  If our fridge had not been magnetic, I would have used Command hooks instead.

Other RV Kitchen Storage Ideas

I found a nifty way to store my pizza pan by using magnets to stick it to the side of the microwave.

This wall-o-spices is my pride and joy.  You can read about how I made it here.

This was a neat discovery: it turned out that behind the panel under our pantry cabinet was just empty space, so I turned it into a place to store jars.

[irp posts=”1073″ name=”Spice Storage Ideas to Help You Organize Your RV Kitchen”]

We also got a pet fountain for Kitty to drink out of, because he prefers to drink running water. (The one we purchased is no longer available, but this looks like a good option.) At our old house we used to have to wait for him to take long drinks out of the sink faucet, but when we moved into the RV I decided this would be a better option.

The rack where my cutting boards and baking sheets are stored was actually purchased to hang on a cabinet door, but when it ended up not fitting I figured out a way to mount it over the panel that covers the space where our converter is located instead.  If I had been planning to purchase a rack to put there, I would have purchased this one instead.

[irp posts=”7418″ name=”Helping Kitty Adjust to RV Life”]

I store my silverware next to the sink in a basket I got from a thrift store with tin cans as dividers.  I like having the silverware there where it’s handy to put away.  Something else I want to mention about this photo is the sponge caddy in the sink.  I used to have problems with the suction cups constantly slipping or falling off, but then I read a tip that said it would stay put if mounted in the corner of the sink, and it was true!

It really bugged me to always have the ugly dish soap bottle sitting on the counter, but we were too lazy to put it in the cabinet underneath the sink each time, so I bought this nifty little squeezable rubber soap bottle.  It comes in lots of pretty colors (mine is the gray one). It’s the little things.

Our RV Bathroom

Medicine Cabinet Organization

Organizing the medicine cabinet wasn’t my top priority, but when I wrote a blog post about bathroom organization ideas I decided to purchase some baskets so that when we are ready to be mobile stuff shifting around in the cabinet is one less thing for me to worry about.

Added Storage

I also put a corner shower shelf in the corner of the bathroom and hung a full-length mirror over the door.

I love storage items that hang on a cabinet door.  I use over-the-cabinet-door towel bars for hanging both my hand towel and a bath mat.

RV Shower Shelf Hack

Here’s something else I did to prepare for future travel.  I wanted to be able to pack and go in as little time as possible, so I added plexiglass “walls” to the shelves in my shower so I could leave everything on the shelves without it falling off. I wrote a blog post about this DIY project as well.

The Bedroom

This is the “before” and “after” view of our bedroom.  I replaced the bedspread with an inexpensive down comforter and duvet cover from Target which I love; the comforter keeps me warm and cozy in winter but doesn’t make my husband hot in the summer, and the duvet cover feels like a sheet on the bottom and can be removed and laundered so we don’t have to use a flat sheet, which makes bed making a cinch.

Mirrored Closet Door Makeover

I also covered the mirrored closet doors with faux rice paper window film to mimic the look of a Japanese shoji screen.  I wrote a blog post that tells about how I made them.

Saving Space in the Closet

Here are some of the ways I save space in our closet.  (I told where I got each of these items in a blog post about closet organization ideas).

Storage Added to the Backs of Doors

I also use hanging organizers on the doors in my bedroom for extra clothing storage.

We have a Splendide WD2100XC Vented Combo washer/dryer that has worked great for us so far.  That model is no longer available to purchase new, but you can order the more recent equivalent model online from Amazon or Camping World.

We put our dirty laundry in the hamper hanging on the wall; the canvas bag can be removed from the frame and closed with a draw string if needed.  We actually just use the plastic laundry basket for extra storage.

Kitty spends a lot of time in the bedroom, too.
