    You went at the perfect time to Big Bend. My family took a trip during the summer months and the heat was brutal. It's a beautiful area and being able to go off road is an adventure. Have to watch out for the roadrunners ❤

Although I bet it will be hard to leave Big Bend - what a view! Looking forward to more travel videos as time allows. I would be interested in seeing the process of setting up your campsite. Happy Trails to you!

Just curious, are your older girls traveling with you or did they decide to do something else? Never used a rooftop tent so wasn't sure how many people could sleep in it. Thanks for sharing!

    RVs do not just stay in RV parks. Plenty of people boondock and get deep into the wilderness. Not as far as you can go. RV holds more water, solar, battery storage and or generator. Get deeper into the West and you will see this.
