How to Build a Truck Bed Camper for UNDER $400
A lot has changed for us recently, as I'm sure you have gathered. After 3 weeks on the road in Amelia we quickly realized that she was not going to be a long term fit for us.
Free Time On The Road
Over the years (wow it’s weird that we can say that), Owen and I get a lot of questions about life on the road and we’re ready to start tackling those questions one by one. First on the list? Free time on the road, how much we have and what we do with it!

At some point this week I realized, I have worked on Amelia everyday for the last month!
