Joann & Charlie Kavanagh

Kavanagh’s Adventures

Planning for Alaska – What you Need to Know

Charlie and I began our RV’ing life by traveling with our kids during our summer vacations. As school teachers, we had 8 weeks to cram in all the fun we could out west and race back to New York and the grind of our fulltime jobs. We promised ourselves that one day we would do this full time.

After our second retirement, we sold the house and belongings and set out for our fulltime adventure. Partime RV’ing and fulltime are two different things and within our first week, we stumbled into Dome Rock in Quartzite for what would be the first of many fun and informative experiences with the most caring and inclusive group of people.

We learned so much from our Xscaper family and are happy to pass along any help we can to those just starting or someone looking for a new boon-docking spot. This January 2021 marks the beginning of our 6th year “On the Road” as full-timers and we can’t imagine stopping anytime soon.

Panelist

Kerensa Durr & Brandon Hatcher hit the road as full-timers in January of 2014. After years of moving for jobs, they decided to go where they wanted and take the jobs with them. They spent their time finding regional foods, cool places to dive, and meeting other RVers.

On their journey, they created a course for others who wanted to join the freedom of full-time RVing to help with the transition. The course is now part of RVers Online University.

After attending too many Convergences to count and even hosting one, they officially joined the Escapees team in marketing. Currently, they’re learning to balance travel with a newer home base. Thankfully, Xscapers are never too far away.
