We’re Jonathan & Ashley Longnecker. We love travel, food, homeschool, tattoos, dreads, adventure, living simply, and our 4 amazing kids!
After a year of full-time travel we sold our brand new 5th wheel, bought a 1972 Airstream Sovereign Land Yacht and completely renovated it for boondocking and off-road travel.
Over the years we have truly fallen in love with camping off-grid. The wide open spaces, quiet nights, and incredibly scenery are where we prefer to be. Check out our articles and resources to get inspired and plan your own off-grid adventure.

For us, one of the perks of renovating our vintage Airstream was that we got to design not only the interior and layout, but also the entire power system from the ground up. The first part of this series provides a high level overview on all that, so you may want to go read it first.
