Selling It All for the Open Road
Shane and Patty Gill, known as Gills on Wheels, made a life-changing decision in 2019 to sell everything and embark on a full-time RV journey. Initially planning to put their home on the market in March 2020, the pandemic delayed their plans until September. By October 30, 2020, they had sold their home, officially beginning their adventure on the road. Now, nearly five years later, they continue to explore the beauty of the United States in their 2025 Jayco Eagle HT Fifth Wheel 28CRT.
A Life of Travel and Adventure
With Shane’s 24-year career in the Air Force, the couple had already embraced a nomadic lifestyle, moving every two to three years and traveling extensively. Their global adventures took them across 50 countries and five continents. However, their dream was to explore the United States in an RV, allowing them to experience the country’s vast landscapes and hidden gems while bringing their home along for the ride.
When stationed overseas, RV ownership wasn’t possible, so they relied on cars, planes, and trains to fuel their wanderlust. Now, as empty nesters with their sons graduated and on their own, they have fully committed to RV life, making the most of their freedom while they are young and able to enjoy it.
