Today, I am privileged to interview a single father who is RVing around the country with his 12-year-old son and 10-year-old daughter. Their journeys prompted him to start a platform called RV’ing Dad Adventures on Facebook.
Brandon Bowles is the founder of
RV’ing Dad Adventures. He has been traveling full-time with his two children, Wyatt and Everly, for the past six years.
His journey into RV life began when he was trying to buy a home in the Tampa area before COVID, but found the housing market out of reach.
Instead of giving up on his dream of providing stability for his family, he bought an RV, parked it for a while at MacDill Air Force Base, and eventually hit the road to explore America with his kids.
A U.S. Army veteran, Brandon turned his mechanical skills into a new mobile career after completing training at the National RV Training Academy in Athens, Texas. He became a certified mobile technician and started Full-Time RV Services, a business that travels wherever he and his children choose to go.
The ability to fix his own RV and help others has given him both freedom and flexibility on the road.
While Workamping provided income in the early years, Brandon now receives full disability compensation from the VA, which allows him to focus more on creating experiences with Wyatt and Everly.
Brandon and his kids call themselves “adventurers,” and that’s exactly what they are.
They’ve hiked national parks, explored cliff dwellings, and spent summer days riding Polaris Razors through the Colorado mountains.
For Wyatt and Everly, life on the road means discovering new friends at every stop, often just by spotting bicycles in a neighboring campsite.
They’ve learned that community doesn’t depend on staying in one place. Rather, it’s about making connections wherever they may be at the moment.
RV’ing Dad Adventures has also become a kind of digital scrapbook for the family. What started as a way to share photos and videos with relatives has turned into an inspiring platform that encourages other parents to bring their children along for the ride.
Each video serves as a living diary, capturing the laughter, challenges and discoveries of a family growing up on the move.
Brandon hopes his kids will one day look back on those memories and recognize how much they learned about life, resilience and freedom.
When he isn’t creating content, Brandon works on RVs and finds quiet time to recharge.
He doesn’t plan every stop, preferring instead to let curiosity guide the next adventure.
This flexibility has helped his children learn to adapt quickly, handle change and appreciate the small joys that come from living simply and intentionally.
If you’d like to follow Brandon and his family’s travels, visit their Facebook page at RV’ing Dad Adventures, where he posts updates, videos and photos from their ongoing journey.
Through his Facebook community and YouTube channel,
RV’ing Dad Adventures, Brandon shares glimpses of their travels and offers encouragement to other families who want to make the road their classroom and playground.
Brandon’s story is a reminder that the RV lifestyle isn’t just for retirees or couples. It can also be a way for single parents to deepen family bonds, create lasting memories and show children how to live with courage and curiosity.
That’s all for this week’s show. Next time I will be speaking with an employer about opportunities to work inside one of America’s most popular national parks.
