What do you not like about fulltiming (RV life style)?

[pigfarmer]

We've all said what we love about living in the RV and full timing, but I feel certain we all have something we don't care for. I don't like having to find a place to land every night if we are on the road and just roaming the country. What is your dislike?

[Devonm2012]

Have been fulltiming now for about 1.5 years. LOVE it but it is different and not for everyone. Our dislikes are:

1-Parks that are not as advertised.
2-Severe weather.
3-People that do not respect others.
4-People that do not adhere to rules (dogs on leash, etc.)
5-Never knowing where anything is. (big creature of habit and took me a while to get used to never knowing where the grocery store was, pharmacy, etc.
6-Life still goes on. Teeth break, you get sick, dogs die and the RV breaks down. Sometimes, during trying times, you can feel a bit isolated or "lonely" if in an unfamiliar place.

Still feel the benefits far outweigh the negative and we love every minute. Just not for everyone and life is never perfect.

Getting the 40 foot 5th wheel into a tight space.

There is a dark side to everything:
*I dislike RV parks...some are great, some are horrible and unless you've been there before you just don't know...Some are safe, some not, some noisy, some folks disrespect your privacy, some too crowded/spaces too close together. In some cases like going to a mall at Christmas and all you can do is try to find somewhere else.

*the reality of dirt...it's true an RV is smaller than a stick house but you track in just as much dirt! Cleaning takes less time but with the tight quarters is a bit cumbersome.

*interior noise...reality time...when the TV is on, the micro/convection is running, the AC is going, raining and snowing outside so can't escape it...time to put in the ear plugs! It is what it is!

*space...even in the largest units...those walls can start closing in.

*hobbies...if the lady likes to sew and the gent loves to do wood working...it's a bit hard to drag all that stuff along and find room to spread out!

We have been doing this for 9+ years and what I miss the most is room. Yes, I was aware of the lack of room when we started, but it seems to get smaller as time goes by.

I plan our stops so I don't have to find a place at the last minute. I hate that too! I miss my bathtub. But my love list is a hole lot longer!!

Not having a dishwasher or a bathtub.

Not having high speed reliable internet and normal car for around town driving.

I miss
Counter space in the kitchen.
Thick soft toilet paper
a fenced in yard
the convenience of my mini van instead of our 350 Ford truck

But the good still outweighs the "bad"

Rainy days

Severe weather. But, I've had a couple of incidences which enforced that dislike or... respect. Whatever you wish to call it.

Not knowing what day it is. 🙂
