We are Philip and Tessa, and yes … WE’RE THE MILLERS! We’re endlessly curious and fascinated by this big, charming country. Hitchhike along with us!
Our Adventures
We are Tessa and Philip Miller!
First things first ... we don't actually think we're charming (though our moms might disagree) ... rather, we have continued with the "lucky charm(ing)" shamrock theme with both our rigs.
We bought our first RV in 2013, when Philip was planning to participate in RAGBRAI, a legendary week-long bicycle ride where you and 20,000 of your closest friends ride your bike across the state of Iowa in one big epic rolling party. Rather than tent camping, we thought it would be a lot more enjoyable to be in an RV after each long day on a narrow bike seat. We loved the experience and have never looked back!
We occasionally reside in Scottsdale, Arizona, but try to be on the road in our Fleetwood Southwind 34C RV for six out of every twelve months. We have continued to enjoy the ease of traveling, and enjoying all the comforts of home, while visiting unique places and seeing amazing sights. If we are not on the open road, we are dreaming about being on the road, or plotting and planning future adventures!

(Everyone sing along) “Oh, give me a home … where the buffalo roam …” Our current rolling home was nestled RIGHT where the buffalo roam! We had a “Bully Good Time”...
Halfway between Butte and Bozeman, Montana, lies …. pretty much nothing. Big fields. Expansive views. A few cows. Guys in trucks who tailgate and drive really fast. But also ….. Lewis and...
Early June: It’s 106 degrees back home in AZ — 41 degrees here in Montana. Though none is falling on us, the 10,000-foot Highlands Mountains surrounding the hillside town of Butte are...
If you cringe at the thought of visiting a museum, finding them to be a bore or a drag, perhaps you’ve been going to the wrong museums! This country is chock-full of the most exciting, most...
#1 most asked question about our RV travels: “What’s the coolest hike you’ve done?” (Runner-Up: “Who dumps the sewer?”) That’s a complicated question...
