Sunday in the RV: Faith, Football, Freezing Temps, and Full Hearts

 Sunday mornings in an RV look a little different than traditional house life—and honestly, we wouldn’t trade it for anything. After settling in with coffee and cozy blankets, we tuned in to our home church online, Real Life Ministries in Post Falls. RV life has taught us that church isn’t about a building—it’s about connection, intention, and community, no matter where you park your rig.



RV Life Quote:
Home isn’t a place. It’s who you gather with—even on Wi-Fi.

Once service wrapped up, it was time to switch gears from worship to football. And not just any football day—a Patriots playoff game, where my husband’s team was heavily favored to lose. If you know anything about us, you know this creates a little extra spice in our RV… because I’m a New York Giants fan. Yes, we are proudly a house divided.

That said, one of our unspoken marriage rules—especially in RV life—is this:
If one of our teams makes it to the Super Bowl, we root for each other. No exceptions.

What followed was one of those games. The kind that has you standing up in a small RV, yelling at the TV, spilling snacks, and forgetting entirely that you live in 300 square feet on wheels. Against the odds, the Patriots pulled it off—and suddenly, they were headed to the Super Bowl.

And let’s pause for a moment to appreciate this milestone:
Happy 60th Birthday, Super Bowl.
You’re still causing chaos in living rooms, RVs, sports bars, and campgrounds everywhere.

RV Life Quote: Some RV days are about miles. Others are about memories.

What made the day even more special wasn’t just the win—it was the response. Messages started rolling in from RV campground guests at Willard Peak Campground, friends we hadn’t heard from in a while, and family checking in. That’s one of the unexpected gifts of workamping: the lines between coworkers, guests, and friends blur in the best way possible.

Even though it was a quiet day physically—no big outings, no long drives—the RV felt full. Full of laughter. Full of cheering. Full of community.



RV Life Quote: You don’t need a big house to have a big life.

As the sun dipped and the cheers died down, we shifted back into work mode. That’s the reality of workamping life—celebration and responsibility often live side by side. We wrapped up the day working at the Willard Bay Sauna, which I lovingly call the best boss situation ever.

By the time we finished around 10:45 PM, the temperature had dropped to a brisk 18 degrees. Ironically, that made the cold plunge feel more like a lukewarm bath—one of those RV life moments you’d never believe unless you experienced it yourself.

The cold air, the steam, and the stillness of Willard Bay created something magical. The stars were brilliant—unpolluted, uninterrupted, and humbling. We stood there soaking it all in, grateful for the quiet that only comes when most of the world has gone to sleep.

RV Life Quote: The road teaches you to slow down, look up, and breathe deeper.

This is the part of RV life people don’t always see on social media. It’s not always epic hikes or postcard sunsets. Sometimes it’s faith streamed over Wi-Fi, football watched from a dinette, friendships built in campgrounds, and working late nights in freezing temperatures—and loving every bit of it.



RV life is about choosing joy, even when your team is “supposed” to lose. It’s about finding peace in small spaces, community in unexpected places, and purpose wherever you’re parked.

And for us? It’s about ending the day exactly where we’re meant to be—together, grateful, and already looking forward to whatever adventure tomorrow brings.

RV Life Quote: The best journeys don’t always move—you just grow where you’re parked.
