Meet the instructors - RV LIFE Masterclass (2024)

We left our hometown in 2015 to explore the US in our vintage Fiber Stream camper. Since then we’ve had some big life changes! We completed a “shell off” renovation to our 1979 Airstream, turning it into an off-grid beast and we welcomed our daughter Nora into the world!

RVing has changed the way we experience life and we are thrilled to be sharing our knowledge with you!

We hit the road in July 2017 and haven’t looked back since! We purchased our Grand Design Solitude new after some serious negotiations. We had never owned an RV before then and have learned many valuable lessons the past few years.

We’ve learned a lot by trial and error so you don’t have to. We can’t wait to share our tips and tricks with you on RV Life Masterclass!

In September 2015, we gave up the stationary life for one where we are constantly on the move! We are co-hosts on the new television show The RVers and creators of the 20-episode web series Go North about driving a truck camper to Alaska and the Arctic Ocean.

We’ve found the RV lifestyle to be extremely rewarding and are excited to be part of your journey!

We are Kris & Andy, and we’ve been on the road since 2018. We are wild ones roaming our surroundings, exploring our curiosities, and learning what it takes to reduce our impacts on this beautiful world we live in.

We’re here to help you with roadschooling in the great outdoors, the ins and outs of traveling full-time, and mobile connectivity, along with how and why we traded our big American dream for a tiny life on wheels.

Julie Chickery and her husband Sean are a couple of perpetual travelers who run Chickery’s Travels and are currently exploring the USA in their RV. After 20 years in the Air Force, they knew they wanted to experience more of this beautiful nation.

They conduct seminars related to RV travel and budgeting at RV shows across the country. Their goal is to help others prepare for the RV lifestyle and share tips they’ve learned along the way.

Ashley and her husband sold their home and possessions in 2016 to move full-time into a fifth-wheel travel trailer.

Downsizing for RV life set Ashley on the path to creating and sharing a downsizing process to help others break the emotional attachment to things they no longer need and divide the task into manageable chucks.

She is the creator of RVinspiration.com where she curates ideas for organizing and decorating RVs, as well as helps people make their goals of downsizing a reality.

Since 2012, Mike and Jen Wendland have traveled over 200,000 miles while running their blog, podcast, and Youtube channel, RV Lifestyle.

Currently, they’re traveling in a 2019 Leisure Travel Vans Unity FX model, a Class C motorhome built on the Mercedes Sprinter chassis.

Learning how to save money and make more money changed her life. It allowed her to pay off $40,000 in student loans, start her own business, and she now travels full-time – first in an RV across North America and now by sailboat!
