Hello. I am the Pioneer.To the manufacturer, I am a Heartland DS320. But to the family I carried for 365 days, I am something much more important: I am a vessel for connection.I am the rig that carried the Guillory family on their Great Sabbatical—a deliberate, 27,000-mile odyssey designed to prioritize well-being. I wasn’t just a vehicle; I was their partner in a massive step into the unknown.My Odometer tells a story. I have felt the cool, crisp winds of British Columbia on my siding and the warmth of the southern sun on my roof. I have been the silent witness to teenagers discovering the world and parents rediscovering themselves.I’ve parked in the shadows of the majestic Redwoods and stood guard near the rim of the Grand Canyon.I’ve rolled from the jazz-filled streets of New Orleans to the misty peaks of the Pacific Northwest.I’ve seen the white sands of New Mexico, the blue depths of Crater Lake, and the turquoise waters of the Florida Keys.I am built for Real Life (and Real Memories). We learned together that the best way to move forward is to slow down. I was there for the nail-biter moments that turned into hilarious memories—like the time we accidentally knocked over orange cones at the Canadian border, or when a broken water valve surprised everyone at a freezing campground. I was there for body surfing in the Gulf and watching dolphins play in the waves.I pride myself on "The Speed of Now." In a world that rushes, I force a pause. My owners used our time together to cut ties with digital noise and social media, choosing instead to focus solely on each other. I am designed to help you lean into today. I am here to remind you that the best view isn't on a screen—it's the stars above a campfire or the sunrise outside my door.I am built for Togetherness. I know that true connection requires space to breathe.The Gathering Place: My large slide-out creates a massive living room where the Guillorys cooked meals, played games, and laughed about the day's adventures.The Bunkhouse: I have a private room in the back (with its own door!)—a sanctuary for kids or teens to have their own space.The Outdoor Experience: My outdoor kitchen is where breakfast tastes better, and my awning is where you’ll sit to watch the world go by.My Perspective. I have seen the mountains, the oceans, and the deserts. But my favorite thing to watch is the change in the people who stay with me. I watch shoulders drop. I watch the frantic pace of life fade. I am not just a rental; I am a commitment to self-awareness and a rolling invitation to look at the world, and each other, with fresh eyes.My logbook is full of 27,000 miles of love, learning, and grit. But I have plenty of empty pages left.Are you ready to write yours?We Believe in "Turn-Key" Travel (All-Inclusive) When we started our sabbatical, we realized quickly that the little things matter. We don't believe in nickel-and-diming you for "add-on" kits. We want you to focus on connecting with each other, not worrying if you packed a can opener.We stock the Pioneer with the exact gear we used to travel 27,000 miles comfortably. We include fresh linens, towels, a Ninja coffee maker, and our favorite family games (UNO!) at no extra cost. Just bring your clothes, food, and toiletries—we’ve got the rest covered.(Note: Because I am a large vessel tailored for comfort, LaMonte offers a "Delivery & Set Up" service. Let us bring the sanctuary to you, so you can focus immediately on being present.)What's includedALL-INCLUSIVE (No hidden fees!):Kitchen: Ninja Coffee maker, full cookware, service for 8, spices, & cleaning supplies.Linens: Fresh sheets/pillows for Queen & Bunks + bath towels.Fun: UNO, board games, 4 camp chairs, outdoor rug, & roasting sticks.Setup: Hoses, surge protector, & leveling blocks.RecommendationsChoose Your Adventure:The Reset: For a stress-free escape, we recommend Jordan Lake or Falls Lake. We can deliver/set up so you can relax immediately.The Exploration: Have a capable truck? Be a Pioneer! We encourage you to go beyond the known. The Blue Ridge Mountains and Outer Banks offer incredible views. The rig is big, but the world is bigger. Go find your own "Speed of Now."

Great RV & even better host! The camper itself was excellent. Superb layout, very clean, comfortable main bed and everything worked. What really made the trip, though, was the host. LaMonte was exceptional - above and beyond. He knew we were coming with a toddler and made sure everything was all set up well before we arrived so it would be super simple when we got there. He was communicative and easy to reach. Just a great person and great RV which made for a perfect experience all around.

LaMonte was a FANTASTIC host!! He was extremely responsive with communication and extremely accommodating with the delivery and pickup logistics. He went above and beyond showing us around the vehicle, especially as this was our first venture into the world of RVs/campers. His instructions and tips helped make everything seamless when we arrived to our destination. The camper was extremely clean and welcoming (and even bigger than we expected), with plenty of clean bedding, kitchen utensils, paper towels, toilet paper, etc. It is clear he truly cares for his guests!! We can't wait to rent from LaMonte again!

Meet your host, LaMonte

Hi, I'm LaMonte! In 2023, my wife Kuri and I took our two teenagers (Tyne and Bridger) on a 27,000-mile "Great Sabbatical" across North America. We lived the RV life full-time to reconnect as a family and find the "Speed of Now." We are listing our beloved Pioneer so other families can write their own stories of connection. We are based in Cary, NC, and we love helping renters plan their perfect escape—whether it's a local reset or a cross-country odyssey.
