Chase Your Dreams • Est. 2019
Exploring America one campground, back road and adventure at a time.
We’re Campfires & Motors, a full-time RV family traveling across America and sharing the journey as it really happens. From national parks and small towns to boondocking spots, campground stays, RV repairs and long travel days, we bring you along for all of it.
Life on the Road
The adventure is about more than the destination.
Full-time RV travel has taken us places we never expected and taught us plenty along the way. We share the incredible views and unforgettable stops, but also the maintenance, repairs, travel-day surprises and lessons that come with living in an RV full-time.
Whether you’re already traveling, planning your own RV adventure, or just enjoy seeing where the road leads, we’re glad you’re along for the ride!

From Our RV to Yours
Gear we use, products we trust and ways to support the journey.
We don’t recommend something simply because a company sells it. The products we share are things we use, companies we work with, or gear we believe can make RV travel easier, safer or more enjoyable.
Our Story
We stopped waiting for “someday.”
Campfires & Motors started with a love for camping, travel and seeing what was around the next bend. In 2024, we sold our home and made RV travel our full-time life.
Now we share the places we visit, the lessons we learn and the real experiences that come with living life on the road.
