Firstly, Davydd: yes, we're definitely of a mindset that tolerates inconvenicnes. Also worth noting we quit our jobs "mid-career" for a once-in-a-life-time year of opportunity and excitement. We had just a couple of weeks of RV shopping to choose a vehicle that could take us on our trip... we were always going to be willing to compromise. That said, we feel we hit the jackpot!
Davydd, also love your point about whether we're actually full timers. Hadn't really thought about it before like that. I /could/ full-time in this indefinitely, but I probably wouldn't choose to. But then I'm not sure I would choose to full-time indefinitely in anything! Maybe I'm just not the type :). We've got used to cold showers over the summer, but they're beginning to get a bit too much. Winter IS coming :). Like Wincrasher, we're starting to time our generator for the last 10 to 15 mins of our driving. Easy if you're on the road all the time; troublesome if you like to stay put for a few days in a row.
wincrasher/erip: Everybody's different on their water usage, of course, but we've gone 8 days before without pumping out (that was pretty extreme!) We manage 4 or 5 fairly easily now, but it used to be a push for three at the start.
Erip: glad to hear we're not the only ones "stealth camping" on the street. Just came through Chicago and didn't spend a cent on camping fees. The Travato is great on that front.
