Plan Ahead For Upcoming Escapades!
Start planning for Tucson next year where we’ll put on a fiesta! The Pima County Fairgrounds will host the 64th Escapade March 16th – 21st, 2025. It’s the perfect chance to meet up with other Escapees escaping the winter for more fun, learning, and entertainment.
In 2026, we’re planning a wicked good Escapade in Maine! That’s right, June 14th – 19th, 2026, we’re headed to Fryeburg, Maine for the 65th Escapade. It’s time to pull out your maps and travel tools and start planning adventures in New England!
Late spring and early summer are a perfect time to visit the region and now you have the perfect excuse to go. Make your way up this historic area with lots of choices for stops like the Mystic Seaport (and pizza) in Connecticut, The Breakers in Rhode Island, following the Freedom Trail in Boston, gorging on Creemees in Vermont, and more.
Afterwards, why not hit the coast for some lobster and a visit to Acadia National Park? There’s so much to do, you might not leave until the colors start appearing in the fall (and then you might want to join a HOP).
64th Escapade: March 16-21, 2025 in Tucson, AZ
65th Escapade: June 14-19, 2026 in Fryeburg, ME
We hope you’ll join us in Tucson and Maine for Escapade!

Mobile Internet for Part-Time Travelers
While many Escapees and Xscapers are living and traveling full-time in their RVs, there are also many of us who only RV part-time – from shorter vacations to seasonal excursions.
While a full-time RVer who needs a reliable setup may see the benefit of putting a lot of money into a robust mobile internet arsenal, someone who only travels part of the year may not want to make as large of an investment.
The occasional traveler will need to balance costs and complexity of their setup while considering how often it will actually be used. Complicating matters is if you need a reliable setup, such as for remote work – this can be difficult to achieve without some upfront investment and learning.
You may even need to reassess your setup with each trip, as the options are constantly changing.
In this blog post we discuss things to consider when determining how you’ll stay connected if you’re only traveling in your RV part-time.
