Sara and Kyle are brand new to the motorhome lifestyle. Since their kids have grown older, they've been inspired to show them this great nation that we live in and what better way to see it than by traveling in their motorhome! Sometimes it's not just the destination but the journey and traveling in their Entegra Coach Vision XL that allows them to enjoy the journey. Their travel plans will mostly revolve around weekends and extended weekends, so it’s a perfect fit for them with both working full time and two children in school. This lifestyle does require a bit of warrior spirit, as they are often on a tighter schedule with fewer days to reach their destination and make the most of the experience. They are excited to use the motorhome to explore every state and venture off the beaten path.
Our definition of Part-time Camping?
We are, Kyle and Sara, the adventurous duo behind Nordman Family Adventures, we both work full-time in our local community. Our children, Kinley and Ryker, are enrolled in public school. We live in a traditional home and prioritize consistency and structure during the week. But come Friday, we often are packed and ready to hit the road—thanks to our Entegra Vision XL.
Our coach isn’t just a vehicle; it’s a mobile home base that gives us the flexibility to chase sunrises on the coast, hike mountain trails, or unwind at lakeside campgrounds—without needing to uproot our entire lives. We’ve been able to design a rhythm that works for us, one that honors our responsibilities while embracing our love for adventure.
Why Part-Time Works So Well
Owning a coach has opened the door to a kind of travel we never thought possible before. No more cramming our family’s needs into a rigid hotel itinerary or feeling boxed in by airline schedules. With our coach, we get to enjoy the journey just as much as the destination.
For us, one of the biggest perks is the ability to see more in a single trip. Instead of flying into one location and staying put, we can hit multiple stops across a region—all without unpacking and repacking a single suitcase. Whether it’s a long weekend or a full school break, we make the most of every mile.
Home Comforts—Wherever You Are
One of the best parts of traveling is bringing a piece of home with us wherever you go. Our Entegra Coach is always stocked with our essentials—snacks, favorite games, cozy blankets, and everything we need to make memories on the go. There's no stress of forgetting a toothbrush or squeezing into someone else's idea of comfort.
Every trip starts with a familiar bed to sleep in, a kitchen to cook in, and a place where everyone feels at ease. That home base feeling makes it easier to unwind and truly connect as a family.
Budget-Friendly and Worth Every Penny
Traveling with our coach has also been easier on the wallet. Instead of spending hundreds on hotel stays and eating out every night, we can enjoy the convenience of cooking our own meals and camping at beautiful, affordable parks and campgrounds. And with fewer hidden costs and more control over where we go and what we spend, we are able to plan trips that work within our family’s budget—without sacrificing the fun.
Building Stronger Family Bonds
At the heart of it all, this lifestyle is about connection. Whether it's telling stories around the campfire, playing board games during a rainy afternoon, or waking up to a sunrise over a quiet lake—these are the kinds of moments that strengthen our family bonds. We are able to slow down, be present, and share unforgettable experiences together.
You Don’t Have to Go Full-Time to Go All In
We are proof that you don’t have to go full-time to fully embrace this lifestyle. With a little planning and a lot of passion, part-time traveling can be the perfect blend of adventure and everyday life.
We’re not just weekend warriors—we’re memory-makers, pathfinders, and a reminder that this lifestyle is for anyone who wants to explore more, connect deeper, and live life a little more fully.
