Some Thoughts on the Fulltime RV Lifestyle

Just wanted to do a reality check on this fulltime RV lifestyle we have embarked upon. The best way I can describe it is the feeling of total freedom. To be able to literally plan your environment based upon weather preferences, historical attractions, natural wonders and locations of friends and family is a real luxury. Each evening when I sit with a glass of wine and watch the sun set behind the mountains while the owls hunt the surrounding fields, I am reminded of how lucky I am. The cool, fresh air and the smell of the pines can't be duplicated watching TV or even by reading a good novel. They have to be experienced and what better way than from your own traveling house, complete with your familiar bed and the little things that make you feel at home. It's a great lifestyle, and I love it. This is my perspective. Carmel still has days when she longs for a nice sticks and bricks home again and I suppose we will do that one day. In my case however, I cannot now envision a time in the future when I won't have an RV of some type, a means of getting to the mountains and to the fresh air that makes me feel more alive.
