RVing Revealed

I live and travel full-time in my RV. In the summer of 2018 I sold my house and moved into my fifth wheel RV travel trailer. I stay on the move – travelling and exploring fulltime as I meander from state to state and seek hidden unique pieces of Americana.

A focus on volunteering, outdoor adventures and pursuing my many hobbies keeps me motivated and energized. Here’s more about me: Brad Saum, or you can find me on LinkedIn.

In the Spring of 2021, I temporarily left the luxuries of my RV for three months and hiked 700 miles of the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Virginia! Here’s my posts from the Appalachian Trail: Brad’s Appalachian Trail Adventures.

I spent two summers (2023 and 2024) volunteering at Custer State Park in the Black Hills of South Dakota.

In February and March 2025, I spent 5 weeks exploring Thailand. From Bangkok to Khao Sok National Park to Koh Tao and Koh Samui. From an elephant sanctuary to a cooking class to snorkeling it was quite the adventure.

In May 2025, I temporary parked my fifth wheel RV and headed out of Kentucky in a Pleasure Way camper van headed for Alaska. Join the Road Trip to Alaska and experience van life through my blog: Alaska – Van Life Road Trip 2025.

I have written two nonfiction books about natural, cultural and historical gems. One about Black Elk Peak, the highest point in South Dakota’s Black Hills and the other about Clingmans Dome Revealed, the highest peak in the Smoky Mountains.

In July 2021, after completing my Appalachian Trail hike, I traded in my Heritage Glen fifth wheel and opted for a new Cherokee Arctic Wolf to continue my RVing Revealed journey. My travels continue as I continually seek new adventures and destinations.
