I enjoy this topic and reading the various benefits that folks feel in RVing. I guess I have experienced all the ones mentioned but the most significant is that I can take my whole family unit which is me and two dogs on any trip I choose to make at a moments notice. It is the only wild and crazy thing I do in my old age. I put in a lot of time and energy (and of course money) in the beginning to outfit my Class C perfectly for me and the dogs. It, and the wilderness places we go, provide a sense of joy and freedom that is well worth the cost and effort.
