We share all of the things we learned to make RVing easy, fun, exciting, convenient, affordable, and organized, as well as, how we are shifting control in our lives so we can escape the world of conformity to live the life we choose to live.
Why We Started RV Blogger
Hi there, we’re Mike and Susan Scarpignato—and we’re so glad you found us! We’ve been RVing together for over six years now, and somewhere along the way this adventure turned into our passion, our business, and our lifestyle.
We’re what you might call ¾-timers—we spend about nine months of the year traveling in our RVs. Yes, plural! We own two motorhomes: a Thor Challenger Class A and a Gulf Stream Conquest Class C. Over the years, Susan has also owned a pop-up camper and a travel trailer, so between the two of us, we’ve pretty much experienced it all.
When we hit the road, we aren’t just exploring for ourselves—we’re constantly creating content to share what we learn. From campground tips to RV product reviews, from maintenance hacks to RV lifestyle inspiration, our goal is to make RV life easier, more affordable, and way more fun for you.
Why We Started RVBlogger
When we first launched RVBlogger, we honestly just wanted to share what we were learning along the way. We didn’t set out to build a huge RV community—but that’s exactly what happened, and we couldn’t be more grateful.
We believe RVing isn’t just about the rig, the gear, or the campground—it’s about freedom. Freedom to shift, take control, and escape the 9-to-5 grind so you can live life on your own terms. That’s why under our logo you’ll see shift ctrl & esc. A close friend of our daughter’s helped us land on that idea when designing a logo, and we loved it instantly. It says exactly what we believe: RV life is about shifting control and escaping conformity to live the life YOU choose.

Meet Mike
Hi, I’m Mike!
I’ve loved the outdoors—tent camping, fishing, hiking—for as long as I can remember. Honestly, I once swore I’d never RV camp. Then Susan talked me into it (she’s good at that), and I was hooked.
Before RVBlogger, I was a single dad raising two amazing daughters, and we spent years camping and traveling together. When Susan and I started RVing, it didn’t take long before I knew this was more than a hobby. I left my corporate job to go all-in on RVBlogger, and I haven’t looked back since.
Now, I spend my days writing, filming, and sharing everything I can to help others enjoy RV life to the fullest.
Meet Susan
Hi, I’m Susan!
Camping has always been a part of my life. I even lived in a travel trailer for a while as a kid, so it’s in my DNA. When my daughters were young, I wanted them to experience that same joy, so in 2002 I bought a pop-up camper. A year later, I upgraded to a travel trailer and kept the adventures going.
When Mike and I met, it was clear we both shared a love of travel and the RV lifestyle. These days, whether we’re filming a motorhome tour, managing our websites, or answering questions in our Facebook group, I love connecting with other RVers and helping them feel confident about hitting the road.
