I say “Yes lets go” my wife says “not so fast Sparky”!
For a number of years I’ve been reading up and doing my do-diligence on motorhomes and the motorhome life. Any time I come upon an interesting article I read it to my wife so she learns as I do. I’ve also shown her motorhome brochures on Diesel Pushers in the 32 to 36 foot range. She likes the look of the motorhomes and all they offer but is not sure its for her.
There seems to be two reoccurring themes and both have to do with her being a home body! We enjoy travel and enjoy each others company and have always enjoyed “road trips” together. Her concern is an extended period of time (summer months) in something that isn’t home. The concern being that even as nice as motorhomes are you could not make one homey!
I don’t completely get that but then again I was never a mother and had the responsibility of making a house a home. And frankly she’s very good at it! But there is one thing I do know and that is there are those out there reading this who know exactly what I’m talking about and I’d love hearing from you!
As a sidebar, I was looking at the Thor website last evening and happened to click on the “Diesel Club” video. Its funny how things hit you sometimes because I was watching the video and saw that 99.9% of the members are older and retired! Watching it made something explode in my mind, “Retired folks just like us do motorhomes”! I knew that of course, but the video really put it into perspective. This is done by people like us who are our age, there is great power in that for me because I know if they can do it, so can we!
We don’t have to reinvent the wheel, you guys already did it!
I look forward to hearing from you and by the way. Merry Christmas from our family to yours!
