I mainly wrote my "rant" for entertainment purposes and so that other people reading this forum and thinking about full timing will realize that no matter how much you think you have prepped and no matter how many people on the internet tell you how easy it is to just hook up an external propane tank or make you rig weather resistant for winter weather, for some of us, it never turns out to be quite that simple. I would certainly recommend taking some break-in time like I am before hitting the road full timing.
