The Very Best Reason to Go Full Time RVing

By Ralph Burns


When we first started to RV full time it was a little bit difficult.

It was very difficult to get accustomed to the tiny living quarters, the toilet smaller compared to a phone booth, lengthy excursions on boring roadways, figuring out the way the cable television functions each and every camping site, fun black water drainings, extremely chatty Recreational vehicle next door neighbors, missing friends back home....

Yet despite all that soon after the very first week or so, we began to recognize how well RVing suits our lifestyles, how comfy it really is and how the little space in fact betters your life and how liberating the travel in fact is.

But undoubtedly, the best part of being in an Rv full time is the complete and utter freedom from "the scheduled life".

If you've got little ones, you understand what I'm speaking about.

Its the continual running to football practice, lacrosse practice, swimming lessons, guitar lessons, numerous family events, countless birthday celebrations, play dates and each and every other sorts of activity which takes up the greater part of a suburban family's daily schedule.

It's stressful!

Despite the fact that all of those things are wonderful and are enjoyable to do, while you're RVing, you're entirely free from that life style and you're free to live life "unscheduled".

While you're RVing full-time, you choose to go exactly where you want to go as well as at whichever pace which is very pleasing to you. Not that you mustn't have a schedule, because you ought to.

The fact is, you need to have Recreational vehicle park reservations in the middle of the summer. Simply because Mobile home parks occupy fast and you've got to reserve before hand or you'll end up shut out.

You'll find loads of Motorhome bloggers who discuss just how living in a motorhome you're your very own boss, there isn't any reliance on motels, airports, dining reservations and becoming "at one" with the outdoors.

Do not be deceived by any of that. The very best reason of all is liberation from the scheduled life.

Freedom and "location independence" is exactly what drove me to create a everyday life designed to enable a fulltime RV life-style for a year...or longer. After I read The 4-Hour Workweek about three years ago, it was all over for me. I knew I had to do it. And author Tim Ferris has no kids so he never even talked about this kind of independence and freedom.

However for me personally there isn't any other freedom which beats it. Perhaps at some point in our journey I'll miss all that scheduling, all of the events, the activities but for now I am not. It is a incredible break and for me its the very best reason to consider RVing full time.
