We&#8217;re Joe + Kalyn! <\/p>\n<p>As online entrepreneurs, we thought, &#8220;why not work from home&#8230; on the road&#8221;? So in 2019, we bought and renovated a 2005 Jayco Designer Fifth Wheel, which took us to every state in the lower 48. But the economy hit our business especially hard after the &#8216;vid, spurring us to pivot in new directions and try different strategies, including various RV work camping jobs!<\/p>\n<p>We recently funded the biggest RV trip of our lifetime\u2014Alaska.
