About Silver Nomads
The weekly newsletter for retirees who traded the house for the open road.
Why We Started
Retirement RVing is having a moment — and for good reason. The kids are grown, the mortgage is paid, and for the first time in decades you have the time and freedom to go wherever you want. But the RV media landscape is dominated by young families and weekend warriors. Content written for retirees is rare, and content written well for retirees is rarer still.
Silver Nomads exists to serve the growing number of people over 60 who have made the leap — or are seriously considering it. The questions you're asking are different: Medicare and supplemental coverage on the road, managing prescriptions without a home pharmacy, choosing rigs built for comfort rather than adventure, and finding campgrounds that match your pace rather than your grandkids'.
What We Cover
- Health on the Road — Medicare, supplemental plans, prescription management, finding doctors as a full-timer, and telehealth that actually works
- Campground Picks — 55+ communities, resort-style parks, quieter alternatives to busy family campgrounds, and seasonal routing for retirees
- Comfort Upgrades — rig modifications, sleeping systems, accessibility improvements, and gear that makes life on the road easier as you age
- Finance & Benefits — Social Security logistics, required minimum distributions, domicile implications for retirees, and managing a fixed income on the road
- Rig Selection — what to look for when buying a rig for long-term retirement travel — comfort, reliability, ease of driving and setup
- Real Stories — honest accounts from retirees actually doing this — the good, the hard, and everything in between
The Newsletter
Every Monday we send one issue written specifically for the retirement RVing experience: a lead story, a campground or destination pick, a health or benefits update, and a practical tip from the road. Written by and for people who are living this chapter of life on their own terms.
It's free. It always will be. We sustain this through occasional recommendations for products and services we believe in, and by keeping overhead low.
Who's Behind This
Silver Nomads is published by RV Insider Media LLC, an independent media company focused on practical content for the full-time RV community. We don't have a sponsor's logo above the fold, and we don't sell your email to anyone.
