Full-Time RVer. Former CEO. Still Asking Why.
I traded the corner office for a Super C motorhome and the open road. Here's what I've figured out — and what I'm still working on.
So Who Is This Guy?
I’m Ty. Former trial lawyer. Former CEO. Current full-time RVer, intermediate mountain biker, and chronic overthinker — in the best possible way.
I’ve argued cases in court, run companies, traveled to 28 countries and 35 U.S. states, and lived abroad more than once. I’ve stayed in five-star hotels and places where I genuinely questioned the structural integrity of the ceiling. I’ve eaten things I can’t name in languages I don’t speak.
And then I sold it all down, bought a Grand Design Lineage Super C, and hit the road. Not because I had a breakdown. Because I did the math.
That’s the thing about me: I always do the math.
Why You Should Listen to Me (And Why I Hate That I Have to Say That)
Here’s the uncomfortable truth about most RV content on the internet: it’s someone telling you what worked for them, presented as universal truth.
I’m a trial lawyer by training. I spent years learning how to argue with evidence, stress-test assumptions, and find the flaw in the logic that sounds airtight until it isn’t. I carried that into the C-suite and ran companies the same way.
I use AI tools — multiple models, compared against each other — to research, validate, and pressure-test what I write. I build spreadsheets before I make decisions. I do the cost-of-ownership analysis before I recommend a membership. I read the fine print.
When I tell you something on this site, I’ve done the homework. That’s not a boast. It’s just the deal.
A Brief Philosophical Aside
Bear With Me.
Most RV content will tell you which toilet cleaner to buy.
I will tell you every variable you should consider before you decide which toilet cleaner to buy, why the choice matters more than you think, what the RV forums get wrong about it, and how to build a decision framework so you never have to ask the question again.
I know. I know. It’s a lot. My friends say the same thing.
But the people who find this site useful aren’t looking for a quick answer. They’re looking for the right answer. They want to understand the system, not just the shortcut. They want to travel smarter, not just cheaper.
If that sounds like you: welcome. You’re in the right place.
If you just want to know which toilet cleaner to buy — I’m sure there’s a YouTube video for that. I’ll even help you find it.
What We Cover Here
Thousand Trails
The campground membership that makes full-time RVing financially viable — if you understand how it actually works. I did the math so you don’t have to.
Mountain Biking
I took up mountain biking at 44. I now plan my entire route around trail systems. Broken bones hurt more in your forties. Who knew.
Full-Time RV Life
Real talk about what it costs, what it feels like, and what nobody tells you before you do it. From someone who did the research first and the living second.
And Then There's Odie.
Every road trip needs a co-pilot. Mine is a Golden Retriever named Odie who takes his campsite inspection duties very seriously, has strong opinions about rest stops, and is the reason there is permanently a layer of golden fur on everything I own. He’s not just a dog. He’s a recurring character. You’ll see him.
When The Road Ends
Base Camp: Guanaja
When I’m not on the road, I disappear. Specifically, I disappear to a small Caribbean island called Guanaja, Honduras — Bay Islands, eastern Caribbean, largely off the tourist radar, exactly the way I like it. I have a house there. I call it Pinnacle House. The Wi-Fi is an adventure. The scuba diving is world-class. The seafood is unreasonable.
It’s where I go when I need to stop moving and remember why I started.
The Journey Is on YouTube
Live Free RV TV is where the road actually lives — campground reviews, destination guides, Thousand Trails deep dives, and the occasional MTB adventure from someone who absolutely should have started younger. No fluff. No #vanlife aesthetics. Just honest content from a guy who did the homework first.
