Welcome to the club !

I had no idea that I would be so scared of, and focused on, me and my daughter’s poop.

Because when you handle the things you eat.. Ahem.. Twice it makes you consider a lot of things.

The RV life is really cool but the freedom of movement is getting severely hampered by fuel costs. I used to like it because we could wake up pretty much anywhere we wanted. But now it’s $4 every 8 miles, in just fuel. Temps are also a bear to deal with. These things are leaky as hell and a BTU costs what a BTU costs.

For internet I’m doing T-Mobile 5G hotspot. works well in Arkansas. There are also wi-fis at most RV spots. My spot is $500 a month but they are splitting the electric bill equally among us, which in my mostly low-electric lifestyle isn’t working in my favor.

To each his own, but I don’t get the lure of that lifestyle AT ALL .

If you’re semipermanently parked in an RV park paying $500/mo plus some of other’s utilities, plus whatever payments you have on your RV and living in cramped quarters, why not just move to a small town in Arkansas and rent a nice apartment for probably the same or less, and when you get the urge to get out and travel, go by car, stay in motels or campgrounds and skip the pain in the ass of dealing with a big RV trailing a car and the ridiculous gas expense.

What am I missing?
