Creating the RV Entrepreneur Community with Heath Padgett

It all started out with a honeymoon RVing adventure. Now, Heath Padgett is one of the best known full-time RVers on the road. Along with his wife Alyssa, he puts on the RV Entrepreneur Summit, writes blogs about RVing, vlogs about epic travel destinations, and hosts a podcast about making money on the road, plus a number of other noteworthy activities (like co-founding the company Campground Booking). In this interview, Heath sat with us to dish about getting to where they are today, being influential to new road warriors, and changing the future of RVing.

You can buy Alyssa’s book, A Beginner’s Guide to Living in an RV: Everything I Wish I Knew Before Full-Time RVing Across America, or keep up with Heath and Alyssa on their Instagram.
