So, in July 2013, when my husband Mike retired, we got this crazy idea to sell our house and our belongings and become full-time RVers. I say crazy because we had never even been RVing before! We used to do motorcycle touring and we loved that. After being limited to just 2 saddlebags on my bike for 2 weeks, I figured how could I not like touring with my entire closet, kitchen and bed?
One of the best things about selling everything to live the full-time RV life is that it gave us an opportunity to free ourselves from the PHYSICAL abundance of our previous life. Like everyone else I know, we had a lot of stuff that we used to think was necessary to fill a home. But we decided that we could either have the stuff or have this adventure.
I have not regretted letting it all go. I love to tell people who ask what it’s like to be full-time travelers, “We love it. We have everything we need and nothing we don’t want.” And that gives us time and space and money for the things we love to do and the places we get to see along the way.
So that’s a little about me.
Now let’s talk about you. If you’re a full-time RVer, you’re in luck because these tips are for you. If you’re a recreational enthusiast, you’re in luck because a lot of what I’m going to share will help simplify your life too.
Let’s get to it.
Wife, and I did the same went from a 37’ National class A to a 24’ class B Airstream Interstate GT ext. Just finished a 4254 mi trip, $532 for fuel, 232 gals diesel,( 18.3 MPG. Average) , and still have a king size bed, and air ride suspension. Very comfortable, a breeze to drive, and don’t need a tow. Very happy with the down size…
