Happy Birthday, Xscapers!
On March 8th, Xscapers will be celebrating 9 years of a community with a passion for an active and free-spirited life of travel and adventure.
Patterned after the original roots of the Escapees RV Club, Xscapers seek to escape the traditional life pattern of a career, a house, and accumulation of possessions in favor of a more minimalistic and nomadic lifestyle that focuses on collecting experiences instead of things. We've made this change now, rather than waiting for a “someday” that may never come.
This community has created a place for those working age RVers, full-time RVing families, and others who share the values of this lifestyle group.
On March 8th, let's toast to the Xscapers 9th Birthday!

Unlike dogs, cats are somewhat finicky creatures who don’t always adapt to change, moving houses, or loud environments well. However, it is absolutely possible to acclimate your cat to your new RVing lifestyle and help keep them comfortable, safe, and happy on the road.
