My wife cleans the house and does the laundry when we're at home. We split the cooking, she's not a big cook, and we eat out several days a week. When we go camping, I've always been a neat freak and I do most of the straightening up while in the motor home. We actually cook more often when we camp than at home. Since I'm also a control freak, I make lists for groceries and other items that we need before each trip.
With all that said....we share most of the duties while camping, so she actually gets a little bit of a vacation while on the trip. BUT.....now that we have grandkids, she is hesitant to take long trips. We had a really nice DP, for ten years, that we bought new in 2005. We decided we wanted one more new one that would last us through retirement. I wanted something I felt would be reliable for a couple of coast to coast trips in the next few years. I had a discussion with her about how much we would use it, if we bought another. I didn't want to hear we couldn't go because of this grandchild's birthday, or this school play, etc. I told her we might miss a few. She agreed, but we still do some schedule wrangling to be home around big events.
We also decided that there would be some other type trips, like a cruise every other year. She wants to go to Italy and we both want to go to Australia. So those will get penciled in somewhere. I'm still a believer that the USA has more to see than most can or ever will. That's why I like the RV.
