I am from a family of wonderers, gypsies if you will. The RV life style is in me. I tried to ignor it and talked about the family as if they had no wants in life. Now at my age ... I find it the opposite. I crave traveling everywhere. Nothing holding me in one spot. Luckily my wife has that need too. So we sold almost everything and are now fulltimers. Have LOTS to learn but love the lessons. Everything breaks down. Economy crashes and grows. Housing market goes up then down. I am not going to be controled by any of it. If this life style fails. I can move into an apartment till I get myself up again. Better to sit on the couch old and worn out knowing what is out there instead of guessing. I have people look down on me and comment about my choice. I just hook up the RV and head on down the road away from them. I have worked on farms shoveling manure and designed product to support and save members of the millitary. Won awards for my ideas and even have patents. I am ok with leaving my engineering job to work stocking shelves if that keeps me on the road.
The kids will grow old and maybe forget the marks placed on the door to highlight growth points. But they will never forget standing next to the worlds largest ball of yarn or looking down the edge of the Grand Canyon. If RV lifestyle sparks an interst GET OUT THERE and do it. And screw the naye sayers.
