Canlife Correspondence, Back Issues of Our Almost Monthly Newsletter

By -

Welcome to Canlife Correspondence!

What is "canlife" exactly?  Well, if you've heard of the ever-growing trend called #vanlife, it's like that but living in and working from a "canned ham" style vintage travel trailer.  In 2022, we started Canlife Correspondence, our Almost Monthly Newsletter, as a way to share both written and visual travel stories, upcoming seminars, full-time RV living tips, stunning images from the places we've been, gear we've tested and reviewed, deals and discounts on our favorite RV and camping gear, good news about the environment, our favorite camp recipes, and more.  Let us know if there is something you'd like to learn about, and we'll do our best to accommodate!

If you've missed some issues along the way, or are just now subscribing...check out our back issues. Subscribe here (always free!) and please share with some friends who might be interested.  

Note:  If you want more regular doses of inspiration and commentary about our daily travels, we are also on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.  And, of course, we regularly add RV and camping related resources and content to our website at Freedom in a Can.

We wrote this blog to specifically help you sail through the sea of information out there.  We’ve been living mobile with solar since 2012, and have lear
