We have been living in the RV for three weeks now. It already seems like home and it feels bigger every day. We have had a steep learning curve as we moved in during a really cold snap, and if we could do it wrong we did. Things like:
Running out of propane in the middle of the night. It had gotten down to 18 degrees so I panicked. I was sure we were all going to become human popcicles. Luckily my husband was able to switch to the other tank and all was well. And if it really was that bad we could have gone to the clubhouse to warm up.
Same night the water hose froze. We hadn't had time to insulate it yet. It is now well insulated and hasn't frozen since.
The gray water tank backed up. We thought we had the gray water tank open. Apparently not, now we do. Then we learned (the hard way) that we have two gray water tanks and they can both be kept open because they run out the same line. Thankfully we learned all this with gray water, not black. (For those of you not in the know of all the cool RV lingo...gray water equals sinks and shower, black water equals toilets.)
We are getting better at all this now. It's not rocket science, just different from living in a house.
It's amazing to me how less than 400 square feet is feeling more than big enough to us now. We all have enough space. We have more than enough stuff. We do more for each other as it's easier to just help someone out than get out of their way. We are getting along as good or better than when we were in a house. I can honestly imagine living this way for a long time, if not forever.
