Homeless
Well, I'm officially homeless and out of work. I purchased a 24' Salem Cobra (1990) with the intention of going out west to Durango. Unfortunately, this fell through and I'm in limbo. Still in Mas...

PS: With all due respect and empathy, people who own motorhomes are not "homeless". Believe it or not, there are those of us who aspire to this lifestyle. I recommend you take a deep breath & embrace the season that God has given you. If it's not your cup of tea, this, too, shall pass, I promise!
Liza, I was given a head's-up to your "Homeless" thread. I am in a similar situation as you are, and am in a neighboring state of CT. I am not dependent on finding a job, so your situation is trickier than mine, but I'm single, living in a 1985 Class C motorhome (which lately seems to be falling apart) and full of angst about leaving this campground I've been staying in since mid June.
I don't know where to go. I have dreamed of living this lifestyle for decades and now I have everything I need except excitement and drive. I don't want to go. I want to stay here, even though winter is coming soon and I'd freeze to death in this rig. (There are no more winter sites available or I would stay and endure it.)
It's easy to dream but hard to live in the reality of that dream. I don't know if you dreamed of living in an RV or just had to do it for financial reasons. Mine are partially for financial reasons too, but not entirely. I wanted to see the country and move around again like I used to do, but money is tight and living in the duplex I was renting was too expensive.
But I'm much older now than I was then and I'm fearful that I'm deluding myself into thinking of myself as still being that same person when I am so totally not her! We all change as we grow older.
Anyway, I keep pushing back my departure date. I don't get things done and then need more time. Just an excuse to stay here longer. I was supposed to leave the CG today but now decided to stay until Sunday or Monday. So what am I doing to get ready? I'm on the computer, talking to you.
I quoted that "PS" above because I needed to hear those words myself. Liza, I'd love to stay in touch with you, if you want to. PM me or the lady who told me about you will be in touch and give you my email address.
Let's be bold and brave and excited together. :) What have we got to lose, other than our sanity?
