RV Travel After Your Spouse Dies

Some journeys change your destination. Others change your life.

In this deeply encouraging episode, we share a powerful Story from the Road that reminds us why the RV lifestyle is about more than travel, it is about purpose, healing, and discovering what is still possible.

We share Janet McKinney’s remarkable journey after losing her husband and lifelong RV travel partner. Together, they built a life around adventure and the freedom of the road. But when tragedy struck, Janet faced overwhelming grief and an uncertain future.

Instead of giving up on the dream they shared, Janet found the courage to keep moving forward. She embraced the road again, discovered renewed purpose, and learned powerful lessons about resilience, hope, and healing along the way.

Her story is honest, emotional, and incredibly inspiring, a reminder that even after loss, new beginnings are possible.:

Jan McKinney Profile Photo

Mom, Mimi, wannabe artist, lover of travel

I try to take each day as it comes. I love meeting new people, sharing my love of travel, nature, pets, faith, and family. I’ve traveled to several other countries and finally making my dream of hitting the road in America come true. I am a solo, 72 year old woman, who claims 2 dogs and a cat as traveling companions. We’ve only been on the road for a year, but we are enjoying it immensely. Even when things go wrong (like dropping the 5th wheel onto the truck bed), I can’t imagine living any other way.
