The Economics of Full-time RV Living

“I’ve learned that making a ‘living’ is not the same thing as ‘making a life’.” – Maya Angelou

I agree with Maya, but since we have yet to win the lottery and we don’t have a rich aunt that left us millions, I still have to generate an income. Beyond the basic needs (clothing, food, shelter) I have two kids that may want to go to college, experiences to be had, and other needs (and wants) to fund.

I’ll write about work/life balance and being a “digital nomad” in a future post.

Bunkhouse Privacy Curtains

Since our kids continually tell us that they are “almost teenagers” (they’re 11 and 9) we decided to do them a huge favor and implement some privacy for each of their respective areas in the bunkhouse.   Our true motivation for doing this mod was to cover and control the perpetual “pre-teen” chaos and clutter.  Plus, […]

Jay vs. The Clogged RV Toilet

Since my kids (it’s never my fault) decide to use at least 7 trees worth of toilet paper each time they visit the RV “library” I inevitably hear “Jay, the toilet’s clogged again” at least one time during each outing.  So, needless to say I’ve become an expert on the art of unclogging the RV toilet.
