Not mundane at all!! We're not full timers (either) but enjoy to get out when we can. We would love to try doing what your doing and we may actually pull it off one of these years.
We did a trip out where you are now last year but we didn't get going until late March. This year we're heading to Florida panhandle in a week and a half so we're getting an "earlier" start anyway. LOL
Love reading about your adventures! Sorry to hear about your fridge, that sucks but that's life on the road I guess. Safe travels and keep the stories coming. ;)
