Jason & Alison Takacs

We are minimalists. We travel light and carry as little as possible when RVing in our small travel trailer. It allows us to pack quickly and get on the road right after work so we can recharge our mental batteries out in nature. We also travel on a budget so we can see more beautiful places affordably throughout the year!

Being out in nature on a hike near an alpine lake or deep in a slot canyon makes us happy. And at night, hanging out under a starry sky by a warm campfire completely lifts our spirits. 

We stay at state parks and Army Corps of Engineer campsites far more than any other type of campsite. Getting close to nature without the crowds is important to us and both of these options are usually the least crowded and most readily available here in Texas. 

Make sure you pay attention to your tires. Start with a reliable brand. Then, when you are on the road, check that they are in good condition at every stop. We’ve had to change tires on multiple RV trips over the years.

If you are waiting to RV when you have retired, don’t. Start making memories now since there is so much to see out there. You’ll run out of time to see it all if you wait. Just jump in with both feet!
