Once upon a time, not that long ago ( 4 years ) we were happily camping in a tent, wondering why anyone would ever want to give up these incredible, private campsites for those relegated to motorhomes.....

Small, by most standards, but has all the requirements to have FUN! Small enough for many wooded areas |
We LOVE this queen size Sleep Number bed! |
Now this is not too bad. This could be a tent site! |
The RV Life......
Life, in my opinion, has gotten out of control. People want more things, bigger things, fancier things than they had the year, or month, before. Too many clothes, too many shoes, more jewelry than we need. It is amazing what few "things" are really necessary. A roof over our head, a few utensils to cook with, an assortment of clothes. Good food, and of course, you must have a lot of beer and wine. The last two summers were spent in Canada and we had very little television. We missed most of the Presidential Debates, and still, a President was elected. However, a computer has GOT to be mandatory for modern day survival, in my book.
We love the RV life, and frankly, we don't miss the "things" we have back at home. We especially don't miss the upkeep of a large house and yard. I could leave it all in a heartbeat. Norm needs more space. I have everything I need right here. When I realize I forgot something, I learn to live without it very quickly, and Norm, bless him, is very low maintenance.

The nightmare of the laundromat! Some RV's have built in washer/dryer but it was hard to justify buying a much bigger RV for the convenience of laundry. |
Laundry is laundry, however. Our RV does not have a washer/dryer, so the most unpleasant task is the laundromat. And the cost! Yikes!
The bathroom is pretty compact. |
Norm doing the chore of emptying the tanks. |
potentially life-threatening microbes do not somehow contaminate other surfaces. " Yes, dear, I do realize you have disposable gloves on". "Yes, dear, I do see that you are using the backside of your knuckles to close that door". Still......I have witnessed him handling raw meat. One can't be too careful. I know I am not alone. We ladies talk.
I love crock-pot cooking! |
