Rovicks.roll.out: A Jayco Family of Companies Pathfinder Embracing the RV Lifestyle

A Family’s Adventure Begins

For Gabe Rovick, the decision to buy an RV in 2024 was fueled by a deep love for travel and adventure. Having always been a road traveler and explorer, he wanted to share that passion with his wife and their 2-year-old daughter. Owning a Jayco Jay Flight SLX 174BH has allowed his family to embark on unforgettable journeys, creating lasting memories along the way.

Before stepping into the RV lifestyle, Gabe and his family were no strangers to adventure. Their travels often took them off the beaten path, relying on a rooftop or ground tent for camping in remote areas. While simple, this setup nurtured their appreciation for nature and exploration. Now, with the comfort of an RV, they can extend their travels, immersing themselves in the landscapes they love while maintaining the flexibility and freedom that make each journey special.

Most Memorable Destinations

Though new to RVing, Gabe and his family have already explored some breathtaking locations. South Dakota’s Black Hills and Badlands stand out for their rugged beauty and sense of adventure. The towering cliffs and shipwreck history of Lake Superior also left a lasting impression, making it one of their favorite destinations so far.

Looking ahead, Gabe has his sights set on the Western U.S. coast and the Cascade Mountains. The call of towering forests, dramatic landscapes, and rugged shorelines is irresistible, and he can’t wait to experience them firsthand.

Planning vs. Spontaneity

When it comes to travel style, Gabe enjoys a balance of both planning and spontaneity. While he meticulously plans larger trips and photography projects, he also embraces the thrill of unplanned adventures. Some of the best experiences come from simply arriving in an area and letting the journey unfold naturally.

To stay organized, Gabe relies on Google Drive and note-taking apps, ensuring he keeps track of ideas, locations, and logistics. His background in photography and filmmaking means his travels often revolve around capturing compelling stories and breathtaking landscapes.

Life on the Road

One of the funniest travel moments for Gabe was watching his young daughter mimic him by taking self-portraits with his camera. Seeing her pick up on photography at such a young age was both hilarious and heartwarming—a proud dad moment he’ll never forget.

Advice for Aspiring RV Travelers

For those hesitant about RV travel, Gabe’s advice is simple: just go for it. The experience is more accessible than many think, and the rewards are beyond measure. Whether you rent or buy, picking a dream destination and hitting the road is the best way to discover the magic of RV life. You’ll learn as you go, and the memories made along the way will be worth it.
