'He was always gone doing stuff for work, so it was just me in this even tinier space.' Kirsten said the hope was that a smaller space would enable them to travel more since a smaller RV would allow them to save money on gas and navigate to more remote places.

The couple's first RV was about 350 square feet, and after living in it for two-and-a-half years, the couple decided to downsize and move into an even smaller space.

She shares her journey on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook, and while they love the freedom RVs grant them, Kirsten said it hasn't been without its challenges. In fact, this past May, the couple moved into their fourth RV after spotting one with all the features she wanted.įrom renovating to redecorating, Kirsten said she's has made every RV a home. Nearly five years later, Kirsten said they don't plan on abandoning the RV lifestyle anytime soon.

'But we just loved how much freedom we felt with the RV,' Kirsten told Insider. The plan was to live in an RV for one year, save money, sell the RV, and purchase a brick-and-mortar home. They agreed to give RV living a shot and purchased a used 350-square-foot RV in January 2018 for $18,000, she said. The couple could buy an RV, live in an RV park, and spend less than the cost of nearby apartments, Kirsten said.

But expensive apartments and homes for sale initially made the transition feel impossible. In 2017, Kirsten and Devin Trout decided to move from their home in Delaware to Nashville, Tennessee. A photo of Kirsten and Devin Trout when they moved into their second RV.
