Fulltime RV’ing and Loving It!



Now THIS is the life! Fulltime RVing it these days and LOVIN’ it! Especially when the weather is finally as gorgeous as it is today and I’m able to sit outside with DH’s ASUS Eee PC 1000HE 10-Inch Netbook with a 1.66 GHz Intel Atom N280 Processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, 10 GB Eee Storage, Bluetooth, XP Home, and a 9.5 hour battery life.

Living in our 5th wheel RV is like living in an efficiency apartment on wheels, but you at least get a little bit of a yard with it. Best part is being able to change your scenery on a whim.

Then there’s the issue of neighbors. Just give it a few days and you’ll have new ones if you’re not quite compatible with the current neighbors, or just move yourself. We’ve been fortunate the last couple of weeks to have two neighbors who are fun. Some evenings we gather around the picnic table and enjoy an evening meal and pleasant conversation.

Like us, our current neighbors are RVing it due to job situations. We all agree it’s nice to be paid to be on vacation. We’re going to be here for awhile, but they live a little bit more on the edge than we do as they’re in construction. They may park somewhere and be there for months or have to up and move to another location at the drop of a hat one day.

I’m fascinated by the many different RV floorplans and setups. Absolutely amazing to me what the RV manufacturers have come up with in recent years. If you haven’t already, take a look at ours to get a little bit of an idea. Later this week I’ll write a post about some of the RVs I’ve seen since embarking on this lifestyle so stick around.
