Full Time Living Recap (Almost 1 Year)

There have been several comments suggesting that if I wanted to have more space I should have bought a larger mobile home. Sure, but size is a trade off as you probably know. Larger means it will cost much more (purchase, fuel, insurance, etc.) and it will be harder to turn, park, and fit into many campgrounds. The park where we spent last summer in Arkansas was a good location and price for us (others were not) but it had only one space left and our 31 foot rig just barely fit. One or two feet longer would not have fit that last space. That's probably why it was still available. Going up to 40 feet or longer would also surely require a diesel motor and that would mean even more cost and the setup I had was about as far as i wanted to push my retirement budget. It was sufficient to live in, but it was a little tight. I can't remember the number of times that I banged my head or arm into a corner in the motor home.
