Also don't live in dread of the next expensive repair that we know will come. These kinds of expenses used to make RVing really stressful and made us wonder if we could really afford it.
That wouldn't have been for us. Our first RV was a pickup truck and stress free tent camping for many, many happy and enjoyable years until I retired and purchased our first TT and knew we could cover the upkeep and any unexpected expenses. :)
Sure, while tenting inclement weather was sometimes an issue, but finances never were. Today, while enjoying all the creature comforts of out TT, we still reminisce about the "early days" of camping and what fun we had. :B
Time to relax and enjoy life. RVing, no matter the style, should be stress free for everyone! ;)
