It can be struggle and everyone needs to find their way of making it work for all involved......As I sit here reading and thinking of next years RV travels.....In may case DW loves the tt we bought because it's nicer than our old shack of a S&B fixxer-upper. She actually came up with the idea of just living in it this spring / summer while we renovate the house to make that work easier.
Her biggest issue while traveling, which makes her hesitant to go at all on some trips, is quality time together. She gets frustrated with me when we are on the road and I want to GO GO GO!! and see / do everything around the location at the time. She's not so much a home body as she is into "no stress" while away from our normal routine at home. She wants to get up whenever she feels like, sit around and read, take naps, fix meals whenever (better yet go out to eat and save the work). I've always been a structured / scheduled kinda guy. I want ot get the Most out of my time every day, especially when I'm out somewhere new / different. Some days I leave her at the CG and go explore - she gets a good nap, I see the stuff I want (I reserve these outings for the things she has no interest in which we discuss / agree on ahead of time).
As for making the RV itself homey, we often camp in a group of friends / family, and last summer, on sucha trip, I learned from my sister how much work she puts into decorating her then brand new 5-er. I hadn't really paid much attention before , but she has put up family pictures and a picture or 2 from each major destination trip they have taken and has pre-set arangement of decorative items she stores away in a cabinet for transport and then put out in place within minutes during camp set-up....feels like any "home" you would step into anywhere.
Merry Christmas to all!!
