So here we are, about 4 months into the fulltiming life. So far, so great! We have learned many (but certainly not all) of the little ideosynchrosies of our RV, which for me was the most challenging (and heart stopping!). I am now finally getting to the point where I realize that whatever we encounter with our coach, we can usually figure out how to deal with it. When we started, every problem that occurred- I was sure that we it was a game-ender and would cost us thousands of dollars and force us back into our sticks and bricks. Now we work together and figure out how to deal with stuff when it comes up, which has helped my blood pressure dramatically!

We are currently in southern Oregon out in the boonies, with deer and ducks and even bald eagles to watch every day. The "small" space really hasn't been very noticeable-it is only when we are both in the hallway that it feels tight.

We have fallen into our roles and duties to keep things running smoothly. One of the things I love about this life is that you simply MUST keep the place picked up or it feels cluttered and messy very quickly. This, in addition to not impulse buying without really thinking "Do we really need this, and if so, where will we put it?"-these are good habits that hopefully will stay with us no matter where we live years down the road.

I am working as a travel RN, and my husband is volunteering for free rent (including propane and electricity, which is a huge perk!). So far it is working well for us financially. If it happens that we have to pay for a space in the future, we can still swing it (but would be tighter than I would like).Free is better than not free,right?;)

Anyway, I so appreciate all of the answers to my questions when I first started entertaining making this huge jump into this lifestyle. You are a wealth of information (and seem like a pretty nice bunch of folks, too!).

I'll keep checking in.

Happy travels!!!!!!!!!
