Rick Steelman and his wife Dawn have RVed for 13 years and just crossed into full-time life six months ago. Rick is the creator behind roadcruiser.life, a resource built for travelers who want more than just miles. They want stories.

Tasha and Rick have a conversation about why travel days don’t exist in Rick’s world. Rick shares the kind of road smarts and legendary pit stops that make you want to pull your RV over and look around, like a legendary Mississippi steakhouse and Quartzsite boondocking.
