We thought of all those things, we really did. And we decided that we would probably go through a lovely honeymoon period, then come crashing for a bit, before hitting our groove and feeling comfortable with the whole thing. We gave that process 6 months. We kinda did. Except we didn't make it 6 months. We learned that more people are doing this lifestyle than ever before. This is caused by everything from Boomers aging and retiring to the road, young families priced out of housing, Covid sending everyone remote working, or afraid of group travel, so they buy RVs so that they can travel AND soci...
