Wednesdays with Jaimie
Are you ready to MOVE FORWARD with your RV life?
Imagine having a clear map to follow. I'll take you step by step through the basics so you can see if this lifestyle is for you and what it will cost for you.
From: Jaimie Hall Bruzenak
RVing, USA
Dear Friend,
Does any of this apply to you?
- I have limited income. Can I afford the RV lifestyle and how will I do it? You wonder what this lifestyle will cost for you and if your income will cover your travels.
- My retirement tanked. Will I be able to afford to retire and travel in this economy? You have been affected by the economy and your retirement funds are less. You wonder if it is enough.
- There are so many choices. What sort of RV should I buy and how much should I spend? The number of choices in models, brands, sizes and features is overwhelming. Can I buy a well made RV for a reasonable price?
- Am I suited to the RV lifestyle? How can I keep from making a mistake? You wonder if you can live in a few hundred square feet 24/7. You wonder if there is a way to know before if it is right for you.
- What if I change my mind? Can I keep my house and travel too? You wonder what you will do if you decide the RV lifestyle isn't for you or if you can no longer travel. You wonder if you could keep your house just in case.
Well, I've got great news - you are SO in the right place right now!
My name is Jaimie Hall Bruzenak, and I am an RV Lifestyle Expert.
For the past 17 years, I have been living the RV lifestyle. Half of that was as a full-time RVer with no stick house or homebase. During those ful-time years, my late husband, Bill, and I worked only six months a year yet saved more money each year than we had in our stix ‘n brix life. We had no retirement income and were too young to collect Social Security.
Yes, we were disciplined and had higher than average paying seasonal jobs, but the main reason we could spend less and save is that the RV lifestyle can be a cheaper way to live. The choices we made kept our camping costs down to practically nothing. We paid less in taxes and fees and kept our fuel bills down while seeing some of the most beautiful places in the country.
For more than ten years, I have been writing and speaking about living the RV lifestyle. I am the author of 4 books and ebooks and will have another one out soon. I help moderate the Workamper forums where we get questions about all aspects of the RV lifestyle and write a regular column.
The RV lifestyle is a wonderful way to live. I want you to be able to see the possibilities and to cut through all the information available so you can move forward with your RV life.
So what's the secret? Information about the true cost of RVing and what the lifestyle is all about.
- RVing can be a frugal way of life if you make the right choices.
- Buying the right RV and making sure it is right for you.
- Instead of spending an average of $30 more per night, mix in less expensive and free camping.
- Instead of spending $50 -$100/day on fuel, reduce that to $50-$100 per week or less.
- Choosing the right domicile for you.
- Knowing more about what the RV lifestyle is really like and if it suits your personality.
"Road Map to Living a Frugal Life of Freedom in an RV!"
![]() Lynne and Fred Benjamin - snowbirds"A big grin came across Fred’s face when I told him "I’m not having fun, anymore. Maybe it’s time." Time meant giving up my work; time meant doing something else. He’d been after me for years. For Fred, it meant going on the road. For me, it meant escaping a very disturbing and unhappy work situation. If it was up to Fred, we would jump in the 5th wheel and go! I was excited at the prospect of traveling but I wasn’t sure I could just get up and go. "Our relationship is and always has been based on what he thinks he
wants, what she thinks she wants, and what we can both live with. In
this case, the compromise became to upsize our 5th wheel, downsize our
belongings and living space, purchase a small secure condo (primarily
an expensive storage unit), and I agreed to take a major sabbatical for
two years. Lynne Benjamin |
Here's a SAMPLING of what you'll learn.

Here are the SPECIFICS of how we are going to do this together:
1. Five live Webinar sessions
Rather than drag this out, I have scheduled our training to take place over two weeks in five, 75-minute sessions. We'll have sessions on January 6, 9, 11, 13, and 16. To make sure you are crystal clear by the end of our calls together, the final call on January 16 is completely devoted to your specific questions about anything I have covered and then some. No stone will be left unturned!
2. Exclusive Online Support Forum
A few days before the Webinar series begins, you'll be able to participate with other RVers and wannabees in this training in my Exclusive Onlien Support Forum.
You will not be going it alone! Our sessions will keep you on track, while the Support Forum will give you the camaraderie, networking and support you need to keep moving forward. Also, in the Forum, you'll be able to:
- Post questions for the other active participants
- Network with other RVers
- Share your budget and get feedback from other participants
3. Sample budgets and other resources
We will provide you with sample budgets that other RVers actually use plus other articles.
4. My list of RV resources
You will gain access to the list of RV resources I have accumulated over the years. This will save you time and money.
On top of everything outlined above, you get THESE BONUSES:
BONUS #1 Recorded Webinar Series Training
First, you'll have access to the recorded series which you can view on Windows Media Player (it works for Mac users too). You'll be able to download each session to your own computer so you can replay it as many times as you want. And, if you have to miss a live session, you'll be able to watch at your convenience.
BONUS #2 Free ticket to training in Quartzsite, Arizona
The tentative date is January 27 in the town that hosts more than one-million RVs during January! This is a happening event! We'll do a bonus training session, which will include how to set up your RV for boondocking and other topics. We'll either go visit an RV dealer or go see the Big RV Show, which will be going on then. There is free boondocking all around Quartzsite- that's where we'll meet. There are also numerous RV parks in Quartzsite. Quartzsite has one hotel and nearby Blythe, California is about a half-hour drive. If you've never been to Quartzsite, you'll want to schedule some time to visit some of the many flea markets and gem and mineral shows going on! We'll also visit George and Jaimie's gold claim!
We have a limited number of tickets so we'll let you know how to reserve your place. If all the spots aren't taken, I will open it up to other RVers. Those attendees will pay for their tickets. Yours are free as long as you register. More details will be sent once you register.
BONUS #3 "Preventive maintenance for your RV" by the RV Professor
The first 50 people to take decisive action and invest themselves with this training will be invited to my "invitation-only" Webinar, "Preventive Maintenance for your RV" with the Texas RV Professor, Terry Cooper. Coach-net, which offers roadside assistance service, says that proper preventive maintenance could eliminate many of their service calls. This will also be recorded for replay.
BONUS #4 Two videos on Propane Safety
Propane is extremely volatile but essential for an RV. Your stove, refrigerator and heater run off propane. Learn how to be sure you are safe using propane in your RV.
To recap, here's what you'll get with "Road Map to Living a Frugal Life of Freedom in an RV"
- A detailed explanation and tools to get started with the RV lifestyle in 5 live 75-minute Webinars. Participate live so you can immediately start putting into practice what you learn and develop a realistic plan.
- An interactive forum where you can post your questions to me and to other participants.
- Access to my list of RV Resources.
- Sample RV budgets and other articles and resources.
Plus you'll receive these FREE bonuses:
- Access to playback and download each Webinar to your computer at your convenience.

- Session with the RV Professor on doing preventive maintenance with your RV
- Videoes on Propane Safety.
So now you are probably wondering, "What's this going to cost me?"
I know that by applying the tools and knowledge you gain, you are going to save literally thousands whe you buy your RV, in camping fees and other aspects of the RV lifestyle. You will learn how to make frugal choices from the get-go instead of stumbling and learning the hard way (and the expensive way.)
I don't have to sit here and tell you that the Webinar alone is easily worth $347 (which is how much it's going to cost you, by the way).
I know that if you stayed every night at an RV park, you'd spend easily $650 to more than $900 a month. With the techniques you'll learn you can spend less than $500 a month - and if you really want to - drop your camping budget to almost nothing. That savings alone in a month or two will easily be more than your investment in yourself.
