We're a family that travels by RV
Family RV Guide started as a shared note between two parents trying to plan a summer trip without losing a weekend to research. Six years later it's a library of guides written the same way — from the campsite, after the trip, with the parts that went wrong left in.
How our guides are built
Every guide is put together from detailed research: campground documentation, current-season visitor reports and product specifications, with the trade-offs spelled out. We do not accept free stays or paid placements in exchange for coverage, and we say plainly when a popular product is not worth the money.
Who writes here
Jordan Hayes — Full-time family RVer & founder. Six years on the road, forty-one states, one patient golden retriever. Jordan handles itineraries, campground reviews and the checklists.
How the site is funded
Reader-supported through affiliate links and a small number of display ads. That means the guides stay free and we never gate a checklist behind a purchase. Our affiliate disclosure explains exactly how it works.
