A 5 a.m. wakeup call is really just another chance to use our awesome JCPenney Home Bodum coffeemaker. Spritzer spillage on the Mohawk SmartStrand becomes a perfect demonstration opportunity for the carpet’s awesome stain-resisting power. And a late night arrival to a campsite in Iowa is apparently a great way to make new friends and get their “glamping approval” on our Flavor Paper wallpaper.

We had so much fun on our RV journey in August that we wanted to recount all the places we saw, characters we met and impressions we made. Take a look at our digital scrapbook to learn more about the sights (and the likes) we gathered as we drove from NYC to Des Moines.
