If you follow our YouTube travel channel and visit really interesting places with us, you will notice we have fun, but also get around the country. Not everyone who lives in an RV travels like we do. Some choose the lifestyle to get freedom from debt and other sticks and bricks pressure, while for others being stationary for a season is their preferred option.
Let me say now: It’s not all like the picture above depicts, but it can be some of the time. There are many YouTube channels that share wisdom on nomadic life, but most people who are considering selling their home and going mobile want hard facts on what it costs, type of RV to buy, sell everything or rent a storage unit, where to stay, campground memberships, etc. For that info, we recommend Phil and Stacy at Today Is Someday. They have been living this life longer than we have and compiled a lot of information on RV living. In future blogs, we will share the things that we discover to be important to living the RV life.
We see lots of young families enjoying the outdoor lifestyle together, and have talked to many about their decision to sell their “sticks and bricks”. There are a lot of jobs that can be done remotely and homeschool is readily available for children to continue their education. We have met groups of travelers who move around together doing life and enjoying relationships. Social media online groups are plentiful and full of RV tips, places to stay (and avoid), along with the never ending question of “how to get the best internet setup” Probably the foremost experts in this field are Chris and Cherie at Mobile Internet Resource who began with a YouTube channel and now have a membership program to keep you up to date. They are well worth your time.
The Thing Is
Selling your home and most of your possessions is not easy: However, it was a wonderful freeing experience for us. Hey, we saved our kids the trouble of what to do with “all this stuff” at sometime down the road. Our children helped us by declaring that they didn’t want anything. What is hard, is not being close to family and loved ones. But if you‘re able, set aside a budget to visit them at least once a year. Zoom, Google Meet, etc, make it easy to keep in touch whenever you like. In the meantime, if you have done all the research and are still on the fence, come along with us on our adventures
