About me

Location Scottsdale, AZ, United States
Introduction We are Philip and Tessa Miller of Scottsdale, Arizona. Our first RV Adventure was in 2013. Philip wanted to participate in the week-long RAGBRAI bike ride, where you and 20,000 of your closest friends ride your bike across the state of Iowa in one big epic rolling party. We thought about renting an RV for the occasion, but then said "Let's just buy one!" We knew the model we wanted, but had never driven it (or any RV, for that matter). We located the perfect model in Las Cruces, New Mexico -- bought it over the phone sight unseen -- and then flew there to drive her back home! That was just the beginning of lots of good times. We did shorter trips (1-6 weeks) while we still had teenagers living at home. Now that we are empty-nesters and Philip is partially retired, we can go for much longer -- our longest trip so far is 5 months! We love RV'ing, and the planning is sometimes as much fun as the actual trip. If we're not "on the road," we are dreaming about being on the road, or planning our next opportunity to get back on the road!
