Six years ago my wife and I sold the house and took off full time in a truck camper. We also had two cats. We had plenty of space and took way too much stuff. Now we have resettled and only travel 3-6 months of each year. I keep cutting back and cutting back and still find I have too much stuff that is never used. This past year I cut the tools in half. I also cut back on clothing again and find I can still go 3-4 weeks between Laundromat stops. I have plenty of specialized clothing for extreme hot, cold or wet weather.
I recommend traveling small and light. I also recommend taking steps to eliminate or minimize the need for hook ups. I have two solar panels, agm batteries and a generator for when I must have A/C. With some care, I can take a daily shower and still go at least 4-5 days on a water tank refill.
I so like this post, less stuff, travel lighter without as much 'junk' to haul around. I am right there with you....we had the entire house packed with us when we started RVing long ago....now we are down to very little. Like you we travel light. Our 'toys' we bring is our most important stuff in our toyhauler....I always think, I loved when we tent camped long ago and traveled so light and never missed anything extra, so we kinda put that value on our RV....even if you can bring it and store it, why bother :) We have a genny but solar does interest us....our new TT TH will have solar wiring. something to look into for the future.
