Why Are Full timers Wrong?

I think that some people are just into what they consider normal, healthy, and stable, and they see full-time RVing as an unstable abnormal lifestyle. In my opinion these people are just very insecure and they feel it takes a lot of courage to live and travel in an RV full-time. Many of them seemed especially alarmed to learn that there are single women who are out here alone fulltime RVing.

A lot of these people look at full timers like they look at homeless people who live in their car, only we live in an RV. I got a lot of blowback when I told people I was going full-time RVing. Mostly people seemed concerned and afraid for me. Like I was going to wander off the end of the earth into uncharted territory without any backup or support.

My VA doctor thought I should not be doing this; especially since I am an insulin dependant diabetic. He even wrote it in my chart that I was doing something against medical advice. When I saw my dentist at the VA he pulled up my computerized medical records and told me what my doctor had written. My dentist was very happy for me and encouraged me to pursue my dreams.

Other people told me that I should keep my house because fulltime RVing is a very unstable life and I should have a permanent base for the sake of having a stable and secure foundation. These people do not acknowledge that a sticks and bricks structure can burn down, flood, or be met with other natural disasters. I believe that it is just a very rigid mindset that some people have, and also some may be jealous.

When Angelas grand parents found out we were full timing they would assure us that someday things would get better and we were welcome to stay with them for awhile until we got back on our feet again. Sweet old folks. That was 9 years ago. :) I guess we are still trying to get back on our feet. :)
