Ahhh, the sweet honeymoon period
of RV life. You are sooo happy, have
constant wood at all times. It usually
takes about 3 months for reality to
set in, and then it crushes your soul.
You'll see.

Is 3 months the time it takes for the septic pump to break? Or is that when the A/C goes out?

Currently living the RV life and loving it. Bought a Apex Nano 194 BHS through the Costco program hooking me up with the dealer. Loving this camper. The refrigerator really impresses me. A good size and can run on gas or electric. Keeps stuff pretty cold. Very happy with it. I did not like the space I was put in at the RV park so rode my bike to scout the area and found the perfect spot. I feel like I am camping in a park rather then an RV place. Got all the goodies. Water, electric, sewer and Wifi. Life is good. Made friends with a neighbor before I moved to a more isolated spot. He's building a power plant locally and lives 6 hours away so renting a furnished mobile home in the RV park. Still working hard getting my house ready for sale. Should be on the market next week

Cool. Even though I may never get an RV. (keep thinking about it though).

Been looking a couple active RV'ers online when I come across them in the sidebar on youtube. Last one I looked at was guy in Iowa at $15 a day campsite. Looked nice, and the payment was on the honor system. Still, it provided electric, though not much else. He had gas electric as well. He was liking it though.

So far, meeting a lot of Trumpers. The guy building the power plant pretty much sits at a computer all day and has to wear a mask. He hates the mask. He said if he gets it then he gets it. Another guy I met hates the Gov in MI so he's RVing in FL which is open.
I'm pretty much surrounded by 100k plus rigs.
No tents and 99% have bigger rigs then me

And you can't sleep at night because
the paper thin walls catch everything
going on in every other RV within
20 yards. Or when you have to repair
your 'home' AGAIN. Or you realize you
dread laundry day. And 101 other
things.

Yeah, laundromat day. Last I did that was week 1 in Phoenix 15 years ago. I can't imagine having to do that weekly.

I recently parted with my cabover camper, I loved it. But there is a difference between a camping, and living in an RV. I'd meant to say this some time back, but I see you have it anyway? If anyone is going to stay in one of these things full time, you really want at least one slide out to break up the monotony of 4 walls.

Years back the refers in RV's were 3 way and not just 2 way, they were of course 12V, 115V or LNG. The 12V function was good in concept, and that's how mine was, 2 way. But even with a big diesel engine, the standard alternator is insufficient when travelling at night with the ac going, and all the pretty clearance lights on the camper. With all that going, after a few hours, the draw on the alternator is to much and will eventually kill the battery's while underway. They've since stopped equipping RV fridges that way, iianm?

My fridge worked best on LNG, between the different possibility's, LNG was so nice and cold and powerful that was the best way to operate it for coldness.

But travelling occasionally I have seen where RV's have exploded while underway because travelers left the propane going, and it would seem they had left a pilot light going, which had blown out, the rv filled with vapor, caught a spark and literally blew everything above the floor, off of the frame. I've seen that at least 3 times, so I never travel with the propane on.

What I found works great for me is, I keep a real sturdy plastic gallon jug filled most of the way with water. I freeze it good and hard and leave it in the refer part of the refridgerator and it keeps everything plenty cold for hours while traveling.

Nice unit you have there, good idea to start small until you really know what works for you. Me, I have to have a generator, and built in so I can start it from inside. Once you are spoiled to the availability of 115v anywhere, it's hard to go back to not having it.

I was cruising youtube "Back Porch Blues" and saw this, it made me think of this thread. This is "Follow your arrow" from her, "Same trailer different park album"

That's your idea of hard living? lol. You and EB maybe should just be quiet.
