Full-Time RV Living - Should You Try It Out
First?
Back to RV Camping Guide Table of Contents
RV Camping on a full-time basis is a dramatic change from weekend or vacation rv
camping in an RV park campground. You definately may want to test out the full-time RVing
lifestyle before you go and sell everything you have.
By all means, should you have any doubts about the full-time RV camping lifestyle
whatsoever, do a few trial runs. You may find that the RV’ing lifestyle is not at all
what you thought it was going to be.
We have a tendency to romanticize our dreams and then reality shows up. The only way to
know for sure is to actually get out on the road and stay in a few RV campground parks.
Use your vacation time to RV camping. Go on weekends. Rent an RV if necessary. Instead
of going to the local state park, Corps of Engineers campground, or national park, go stay
in an ordinary, run-of-the-mill RV park. If you have to work to pay your way while
traveling, you are going to be spending a great deal of your time living in an RV
campground park.
Believe me, living in an RV park versus a state park campground or similar destination
place, is quite a contrast. RV campgrounds are often not destination points.
Lost in America, a view from the
highway.
Better yet, if you already have an RV, hook it up in your driveway, or in back of your
house, and try living in it. Yes, move in. If you have to work to pay your way while you
travel, you are going to find that in many ways life will remain the same. You’ll get
up every day, go to work, come home and wait for the weekend. Not much different from
everyday life, except you will be living in a very tiny space, most likely with another
person.
You are going to find that there is no privacy to speak of. Can you deal with that on a
long-term basis? Really? You’re going to be living in extremely close quarters, and
if you aren’t constantly able to move on to new adventures, you’ll have to face
the daily grind while you wait for your next adventure. This can test a relationship. If
possible, figure this out before you sell your home, if you own one, and all your stuff.
You may discover that RV’ing is the life you were meant for. You also may discover
you would've been better off doing something different.
Again, if you have the opportunity, try the RV Camping lifestyle with a trial run or two.
It may answer a lot of vital, life-altering questions.
