Living in an RV

mcblink said:
Well, today I bought a 36' Doubletree Mobile Suites all-season 5th wheel. There's a washer/dryer onboard, an island in the kitchen, corian countertops, maple cabinetry, king size Sleep Number bed upstairs, 3 slide-outs, it's quite roomy for an RV.

So, for the next year or so, I'm going to live in it. We are aiming to be out of the house by the end of the month. Hopefully I find an acceptable RV park to put it in, or somewhere else with full hookups, anyway. A couple of the parks around here seem to have some unsavory types, I'd like to avoid those if possible. But, the nice thing about a home on wheels is that if I don't like a place for some reason, I can just drag it somewhere else.

Anyway, been busy lately, and I'm going to be busy with the move for the next couple weeks too.

I hate moving almost more than anything else lol

This reminds me of a problem I have with everything I touch.
Had an oven door that was wonky and I tried something, and broke the damn glass !!
Had to get a new door for something not on the menu.
I feel your pain bro.
Cheers

I broke mine too just after moving in to my brand new unit. I gave myself a quick training class on how to fix it. Been working for 1.5 years now, but I never open it. I actually have reflective silver bubble insulation covering the window to keep the summer heat down.

I may attempt to fix it after I'm finished moving in. I still have to find a place to park it. As I understand it, after Labor day, the parks will find themselves void of snowbirds, I should be able to get a place. I'm also looking at a couple spots that are situated on farms, have full hookups and everything but aren't actually parks. That would be ideal. Plus I could get a little closer to work, allowing me to sleep in a few minutes more lol

You could have got a semi with a big sleeper. That would make the commute super easy.

Ehh, well...I've done that all before lol

I always like to say that trucking is good for about 2 kinds of people: the younger guys who have no woman, aren't really tied down to much, and don't mind being away from home, like, ALL the time....

Or the older guys, who have already had their kids, who have all grown up and left, and they just can't wait to get away from their old ladies, and WANT to be away from home, like, ALL the time...


At the moment, I am neither, so I don't see myself going back to trucking anytime soon at all...the tater hauling stuff is a temporary gig. It's fun, because I get to tear ass around in the dirt in a truck for a while, and then just when I'm about sick of it, it's all over with lol Plus, like, the money thing too. They actually pay me to do this stuff, can't make this up lol

But yeah, my days as a trucker were rough on the family
