Rooted in the Dust is the next chapter of The Diesel Apartment.

We’re Levi and Nicole. We live full-time in a Class A motorhome in the Sonoran Desert.

Since 2017, we’ve been creating content about stationary RV life for people looking for something different from typical RV living content.

Now we’re putting down roots in Tucson and selling the diesel pusher. Our name is changing, but what you came here for probably isn’t.

Field Notes From a Parked Life

Your Next Adventure Starts Here

Desert stories, motorhome misbehavior, and backcountry weekends. Sometimes it’s 40,000 sandhill cranes. Sometimes it’s a fridge that smells like ammonia and disappointment.

Pull Up A Camping Chair

We write about stationary motorhome life in Arizona and weekend squaredrop trips.
Desert wildlife. Backcountry camping. Gear reviews. Trip reports.

We did everything you’re “supposed” to do. And we were miserable.

We bought a house. Got normal jobs. Spent 13 years in the Midwest feeling stuck in a life that looked good on paper but didn’t feel like ours.

In 2017, we sold the house and moved to Arizona. We traded a mortgage for a motorhome, a commute for a dirt road, and Midwest winters for Sonoran sunsets.

Eight years later, we’re still here. Still fixing things with soft material rivets and swearing at plumbing. Still wouldn’t go back.
