The Good News Simplifying your life by
downsizing will be one of the most freeing
experiences of your life. Getting rid of all the
stuff that fills every room, every closet,
drawer and garage will feel like youve lost 100
pounds, like you are being lifted as easily as a
balloon on a breezy day.

The Bad News Now that you have downsized and
everything fits in your RV, shopping at the mall
loses its appeal. No longer will you seek more
things to decorate the walls of your house,
more tools and gadgets to fill your garage,
more dishes and clothes and shoes to fill the
cabinets and closets.

Youll quickly learn that buying anything new
requires the removal of something you already
have because your living space is limited. If
you are a keeper of sentimental things, youll
have to let go. Aunt Marthas tea set will have
to find a new home in order to make a space for
what is necessary for fulltime RV living.

Its a huge difference from the suburbs, where
everyone is focused on the daily grind of going
to work and maintaining all the stuff they own at
a fast pace . . . as if they wear blinders that
prevents them from seeing and getting to know
their neighbors.

The Bad News If you are a loner and dont like
being around people, youll want to avoid RVers.
They will draw you in with their welcoming
greetings and invite you to come sit for a spell,
pull up a camp chair, share a beer or iced tea,
enjoy a grilled burger and sit around their
campfire. It might be a life changing experience
for you!

The Good News Fulltime RV living gives you the
magical opportunity to spend time with nature . .
. see the beauty of this wondrous country, watch
glorious sunrises and sunsets over beaches and
canyons, sleep under the massive expanse of
stars, capture the sights and sounds of coyotes
and owls and frogs and whippoorwills.

The Bad News Nature will definitely make itself
welcome in your living space . . . frogs and
spiders and mice and mosquitoes will find their
way inside your RV. Stepping on a frog with your
bare feet in the dark is a rude awakening to your
day! Forgetting that standing with the door open
at dusk is an open invitation for a wild mosquito
party will find you on a swatting frenzy for the
evening!

How cool is it that the name of our local guy is
James Bond! He is our go-to person when
something isnt working right because we are the
mechanically challenged ones able to hold a
hammer, screwdriver and pliers able to hook up
the water hose and sewer and propane tanks . . .
but havent a clue about pipes and circuits and
gaskets and fittings under the hood and inside
the camper.

Seasoned RVers will certainly have tons more to
add to the list. This is what weve gleaned from
2 ½ years of living in our truck camper. As I
said at the beginning, I wouldnt trade this
lifestyle for any mansion, three bedroom house or
apartment.
