I have known this all along, but we’re about to realize it in the moment. In real time.
When we vacated our house and moved full time into our fifth wheel recreational vehicle, we knew we could take our “home” with us whenever we felt like it.
For the first time in both of our lives, my wife and I are totally mobile.
Most of our worldly possessions are stored away safely. The mover took care of it. We have more of them with us in our RV. We’re packed pretty tightly into our vehicle, although we’re mindful about avoiding carrying too much weight behind our big ol’ pickup that we have named Big Jake.
We got some news recently about the RV park where we’ve lived for about a month: our rates are going up soon.
Our reaction? We’re going to move. We believe we’ve found a second site to park our vehicle. We’ll make the move in due course.
But first, we’re planning to spend some more time in our current location. Then we’ll clear the deck around our RV, unhook it from the utilities, back the truck up under the RV hitch, hook ‘er up and then we’ll hit the road.
This mobility mode takes some getting used to, I’ll have to admit. My wife and I both have been tethered to houses attached to terra firma.
For the time being, we’re on the move.
