I understand the husband's concern, but I'd put it this way:
I (the wife) love to RV. If something happens to you (the husband), I wouldn't give up the RV life. So, isn't it better that I (the wife) get used to doing things on my own now - while you (the husband) are around to help me if I get stuck - rather than wait for you (the husband) to croak and leave me to learn it all on my own. :)
Seriously, women (myself included) travel alone all the time without problems. It's not that scary of a world. Unless you personally have issues with insecurity, lack of common sense, etc., then just do it.
Yeah, what she said. Go to Walmart and get a TracFone with Verizon as the carrier. I just re-upped my 200 minutes (triples the minutes to 600) good for 3 months for $49. I've got an AT&T iPhone but when I was in TN last fall the darn thing was in a dead zone or whatever so I got the TracFone and tethered it to my iMac using the old Millenicom, now under Verizon, so I'm not going to run out of data.
I travel with 4 cats and love it. I've got roadside assistance and anything else I feel that would insure my safety. If something breaks down, okay, I'll get it fixed. DH stays home and does whatever he wants with his ham radio and old-car collector buddies. It's not unusual for me to be gone anywhere between 3 and 9 months. We talk, text, or e-mail daily as we feel like it. No big deal. He doesn't like to travel. I do. I'm not going to stay home waiting to die just because he doesn't want to go somewhere. Works for us.
