We went from a 5 bedroom, 4000' home to an 30' 5th wheel almost 2 years ago. We do have a small storage unit, but we didn't want to get one. Our RV has 2 slides and those really help with space! You really need to "downsize" on everything, and that can be difficult for some. It can get crazy sometimes, so you really need to be able to give each other some "space"! We have been married for 45 years, and I'm a retired teacher :). I think it's doable, but not easy. You will need a space to study as well.
