About The Nerds on the Road
The Nerds on the Road are made up of two nerdy humans and several nerdy little animals who love to travel and explore everything they can. We live full-time in our 2013 5th-wheel toy hauler, traveling the US and sometimes going overseas.
We love sci-fi movies and TV, retro video games (and new ones), and getting outdoors as much as possible. We often spend weeknights after work with our pets, a gaggle of geeky little fur-balls of personality, who keep us and each other entertained.
Weekends are when we really get to explore, and we try to get out of town and into the forests and wilderness, hiking, canoeing, tent camping, and caving as much as we can. Because we work weekdays, we tend to stay in places for at least a month to get in a couple of weekends of fun. It’s the best way to save on rent, and we get to know an area better than just a 2-day stay.

R.I.P. // Our Torque Toy Hauler: After the destruction of our Rockwood trailer, we spent a few more months in a cabin in Colorado before deciding the weather was nice enough to shop for a new home. We couldn’t wait to get back on the road and found just the 5th wheel we wanted in Denver!… read more

R.I.P. // Our former, former house: I’m a 1973 Dodge Brougham RV. I was bought from a man in Gresham, OR for $900. He was my second owner and not the greatest. He let the rain leak in and didn’t do any maintenance but overall I survived. I was finally traded for some merch after I started to have major mechanical issues… read more
