Daily Life...

Okay...I know a lot of you wonder what daily life is like for a full-time RVer. From most of the blogs I've written, you might be thinking that we go from one challenge straight into another. I will admit that sometimes it FEELS that way. But, truthfully, most days are pretty much the same as daily living in a "stick house." Yes, we have way less space (<300 s.f.) and we do have to keep aware of heating issues (such as how much propane do we have, how cold is it going to be, and do we have the various heaters turned on to avoid a repeat of frozen water lines).

In general, for the kids and I, our days are filled with school activities, cooking, minimal cleaning (the plus side to small living space is small area to be cleaned), reading, getting out for awhile (to the playground or library, or for a walk, or getting a cup of coffee in town...any where with no walls to close in on you!), and a variety of scheduled activities. Randy spends time working and keeping track of financial stuff, both via internet. Outside activities include tae-kwon-do for Jakob, a weekly marriage/communication class for us, weekly church, and weekly time with Randy's brother and sister-in-law. Anna just started 2ce weekly morning swim lessons at nearby community center. Jakob is doing weekly climbing club there. There are also opportunities for family swim time, various museums still to visit, a "field trip" to Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs, a possible tour of Celestial Seasonings Company in Boulder, a possible Kayaking lesson (in the rec center pool), and various social gatherings.

Doesn't this sound similar to your own lifestyle? (at least if you have active kids!) Things would be much more hectic if we were travelling every day or two...but we are trying to stay at least a month or so in each area with day trips for sightseeing. That way we can cut down on having to pack up each morning and set up each night.

Yes, this RV is feeling more and more like home. And when you read future posts about challenges we face, remember...that's not DAILY living for a full-time RVer!
