Let’s learn more about this inspiring couple.

The Backstory of Getaway Couple

Jason and Rae returned to work after a month-long honeymoon with the travel bug. They found themselves working long hours in positions where they were replaceable. Rae came to realize she was working in an unhealthy work environment.

They kept asking how to pursue their dream of traveling full-time. They contemplated traveling internationally, but the decision to adopt their dog, Carmen, caused them to rethink their plan.

After many discussions and YouTube videos, Getaway Couple ultimately decided that RV living was their plan.

Why They RV

Whether it is international or domestic traveling, Getaway Couple has always loved traveling. Before hitting the road Jason and Rae used every hour of vacation time from their 9-5 employers.

Being able to travel and work from the road was an appealing adventure.

Kids, Family, Pets

Their dog Carmen is part Doberman, but 100% adorable. Rae’s mother rescued her from a shelter, but the couple instantly fell in love with her.

Once Carmen joined them, Rae and Jason had to process ways to travel with a dog. Full-time RV living became their answer.

How Long Has Getaway Couple Been RVing?

In July 2017 Getaway Couple downsized from their 3-bedroom house to 400 square feet in Los Angeles, California. They have crossed the country several times since they began their adventures.

What Type of RV Does Getaway Couple Travel With?

Since hitting the road, Getaway Couple has traveled in a 2018 Grand Design Solitude 375RES. They tow this massive fifth wheel with a 2012 RAM 3500 dually. It’s a perfect combination for Getaway Couple to travel and explore.

About the RV

The Grand Design Solitude 375RES comes with more storage (inside and out) than you’ll know what to do with. You’ll find everything you’d look for in a brick and mortar home, but in an RV. The living area has enough seating to throw a party.

The wrap around windows provide a view no matter where you sit. This rig was designed to use every inch of space and provide optimal comfort while on the road.

Getaway Couple RV Modifications

Comfort and usability are important to Getaway Couple. In their bedroom they took out the shelves next to the bed to fit their king-size mattress. In the bathroom they replaced the sink faucet, installed a MaxxAir fan and shade, and installed a bidet. All of these upgrades make their RV bathroom feel like a home.

The Getaway Couple works from the road and converted the dining room space into a convenient workspace environment. They can be comfortable and efficient while they get their work done.

Another major upgrade for Getaway Couple was their Victron inverter and Battleborn batteries. These upgrades combined with the solar panels (1200 watts) provide enough comfort and usability for them to camp off the grid.

The suspension and disk brakes were also upgrades they made to improve not only their comfort while towing, but also the stability of their rig. This upgrade helps protect your rig, but also its contents when you hit that pothole you didn’t see.
