The reason I RV is a love story. I RV to be close to my wife. I me her 41 years ago and her family was very big into camping. They went camping every weekend that the weather allowed. I just wanted to be close to her, in her presence, so the only way I could accomplish that goal was to wrangle an invite to go camping with them.
Married that great gal one year later. The very last of the cash given as wedding gifts was spent on camping gear. Tent, stove, and all of the things that go with it were purchased. Never mind that I didn’t even have a job at that point! Camping was number one in my wife’s life.
We spent our lives weekend and vacation camping. Every time we went, at the end of the trip, my wife would say: I don’t want to go home. I could stay here forever.” In June of 2006, she got her chance. We sold everything, bought a camper and a truck and set off on the full time lifestyle.
We have no regrets. After 41 years, I still want to be with her. Now, she is virtually with arms reach 24/7. For a man in love with his wife, it doesn’t get any better. Oh, by the way, the camping is not bad either!
