Where the heck have we been in 2024?!

It’s November 2024 and we haven’t posted on social media since (checks the ‘Gram)... March. Oof. Sorry about that, guys.

Ironically, Tosha and I came into 2024 with a grand plan for the Lackeys Be Trippin’ webpage and social media content! We had a calendar lined out including blog and video topics, as well as a scheduled calendar that would commit 48 weeks of the year to recapping each of the 48 states we’ve visited by using footage and photos shot during our travels over the last five years. We hit the ground running and then… life caught up with me. 

To answer the most asked question we’ve had lately: YES, we are still traveling! 

In fact, not only are we still living the RV life, we did some overseas travel in 2024! Tosha and I kicked the year off with a trip to Thailand but over the summer I went solo to Italy and Portugal. We even drove nearly coast-to-coast across Canada with the kids in our (as it turns out, quite broken) new-to-us motorhome. Did you miss that part? We bought a 1998 American Tradition and a 24’ enclosed trailer to replace our Thor Outlaw and flat-towed pickup truck setup.

Same place, almost exactly three years apart! Gas/diesel, flat tow/trailer, Ford/Jeep!

We haven’t talked much about it but we bought this old diesel pusher thinking it would be a great investment and an easy project. Instead, it turned out to be quite the opposite. All of the challenges and unforeseen setbacks are a big reason I didn’t have the time or mental capacity to post with regularity this past year. Every time I looked up there was a fluid leak, an air leak, a water leak, something falling off or something missing. Don’t worry though, we documented all of that and we’ll be sharing it with you soon! You’ll want to stay tuned for the recap, beginning with our next blog and video discussing WHY we made the decision to buy a cheap old pusher and how we chose this one.

Wait until you see the things we had to do to keep our "new" old diesel pusher on the road in 2024!

​So 2024 was possibly our wildest year of travel yet, with over 32,000 miles driven, a countless number of challenges and setbacks and more adventures than I could begin to recount here. Speaking of recounting adventures, we’ll be picking our state reviews back up effective immediately and posting new blogs and videos touching on all sorts of fun stuff! There have been so many good times and hard times over the years that we have yet to share and we plan on pulling those memories out of the vault over the coming months and into 2025.
