Tom R

I'm a passionate outdoor enthusiast and engineer who calls Bakersfield, California home. With a deep-rooted love for exploration and adventure, I has turned his free time into an opportunity to traverse the vast landscapes of the American West in his RV. I’m Tom, an engineer based in Bakersfield, California. When I’m not crunching numbers, you’ll likely find me exploring the great outdoors. My passion is RVing, and there’s nothing I love more than hitting the open road. The Western states are my playground, and I’m constantly on the lookout for new and exciting places to camp. The Eastern Sierra is my happy place. There’s something about the rugged beauty of that region that just calls to me. Whether I’m hiking, fishing, or simply taking in the starry night sky, I feel completely at home there. As an engineer, I can’t help but analyze everything, from the best campsite setup to the most efficient way to pack my gear. I'm always tinkering with my RV, trying to find ways to make it more comfortable and self-sufficient. I’ve got a YouTube channel where I share my RV adventures and camping tips, and I’m also active on Instagram, where I focus on RV cooking.
