HOW WE ROAD TRIP ON A BUDGET AND TIPS TO TRAVEL SAFELY DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

At this time last year we were traveling across the country in our Capri Camper towing the Gold Airstream.

After “sheltering in place” for several months, many of us are ready to get back on the road. Campgrounds are opening for families and small groups, and highway travel may be the safest way to get out of the house during the cautionary “re-opening” period of the COVID-19. Before you hit the road, make sure you are prepared for a safe journey.
