Stick Home Vs. RV Home
There’s so much to learn, it’s hard to pick where to begin.

Everything’s a lot smaller in the RV versus the house. It’s Simple Living at it’s finest. Organizing our things so they’re easy to grab but not in the way is a puzzle, and figuring out how to make the most use of limited space requires some doing. Downsizing from 3700 sq. ft. down to about 200 is a huge challenge, and it takes a little mental work to get the comparisons between a stick house and a RV out of my head.

It’s one thing to travel for a week or two on motorcycles or with backpacks. What a novelty! But when everything you own is all in one place and you need to make sure it’s organized and neat, well, that’s certainly a different kind of reality.

And…we’re….off!

Petaluma, CA
After a long time of waiting and creating positive thoughts to make our dream a reality, we did it. We moved out of our “stick home” and into the RV last Saturday. We got all misty-eyed saying goodbye to our Eureka friends, who came to our “Trailer Warming” party on Saturday.

Now, it’s Week One, and we are camped out in Petaluma, CA, at our brother-in-law’s homestead, where our other BIL, owner of O’Connell Solar, is getting ready to install a kick-butt solar system for the RV. With this killer system, we’ll be boondockin’ all over the outback of the U.S.A. But you’ll still be able to find us thanks to our MotoSAT Internet setup.
