However, we didn’t think it was a realistic possibility to get an RV sponsorship.
So when Alyssa and I started having conversations with Winnebago earlier this year, we were definitely open to the idea of working with another large company. After all, they helped finance our trip to all 50 states (including Hawaii and Alaska), sent us film equipment for our documentary, and helped me land a job in all 50 states (Note: Here I wrote a blog post about how we found that sponsorship and the cold email I wrote to get it). We still have a great relationship with them. The sponsorship we had with Snagajob ended up being one of the best decisions we made during our travels. Beforehand, I had heard good and bad things about sponsorships and to be honest, I didn’t know much about them. That sponsorship helped me land a different hourly wage job in all 50 states and travel across the entire country. Last year Alyssa and I found a sponsorship with an online job board called Snagajob.
#WINNEBAGO BRAVE HOW TO#
How We Became Contributors for WinnebagoĪ lot of travelers are trying to figure out sponsorships or how to work with companies who can pay you to travel, so I wanted to outline the backstory of how we struck up this deal with Winnebago. Since we were buying it, we still had to put down a $10,000 down payment (which we did by selling Franklin). This will allow us to live and travel in a much newer RV, without breaking the bank. Also, in exchange for our monthly blogging contributions, we’ll receive payments that cover all but $100 of our monthly RV payment. In agreement for becoming contributors for Winnebago, they gave us a family and friend’s discount on our RV. We’ll share stories from our travels and RV lifestyle tips while exploring the country in our Winnebago Brave (such as 10 Things You Have to See When Visiting Alaska or our Brief Guide to Working on the Road). Our client work with Winnebago is that we’ll be writers for Winnebago’s GoLife website. Update: We finished paying off all our student debt in 2017 while traveling through Maine in our Winnebago! Seeing as we’re still paying off student debt, we were able to make this purchase through a work agreement with Winnebago. Plus, a new RV will allow us to continue traveling and exploring the country, without the stress of a twenty year old RV. A new RV means having access to the Winnebago warranty and service for the first year of owning our new RV.

#WINNEBAGO BRAVE UPGRADE#
It’s my favorite kinda date.īut other than RV’s simply being “cool”, we had a couple reasons why we decided to upgrade and buy a new RV. I think they are so cool! Even before we were ready to buy a new RV, we’ve gone “RV shopping” at least 10 times. I think my most visited website is . I love looking at new RV’s. Alyssa just rolls her eyes every time I bring up the subject. Well, mostly I have been shopping for a new RV. We loved Franklin, but we’ve been shopping for a newer RV all of 2015.
