Can you be a minimalist and own a Class A?
I have been studying the lifestyle and have not "drank the koolaid".
Anyone living the life and own a class a?
Anyone that knows about the lifestyle -- think that it can be done while owning a class a?
Asking because I have been acquiring "stuff" for my class a thinking that the more gadgets I have, the easier camp life will be. Of course we all keep moving up from sleeping on the ground based on the notion that life can be better without having to setup camp....simply park and throw open the door!

I think yes....if you are a full-timer and have no other sticks&bricks home. You need to have only a minimal amount of "stuff" .....because only a small amount fits in an RV !

Most definitely. As long as you take the basic package on your TV service, you will qualify as a minimalist.

Absolutely! Dry camping and boondocking are doable by Class As and with bigger tanks you can stay out longer.

Define "minimalist". The question doesn't make any sense without YOUR idea of that concept. My idea of a minimalist is not necessarily yours or anyone else's. I bet there are nearly as many definitions of minimalist as there are RVers claiming that title.

Living off SSD for the past eight year's is my definition.

That is valid for you...
But, we are trying to answer the OP's definition.
That is the problem with this kind thread...way too many ways to get into belly bumping contests.

Yes, just keep tossing the items you don't 'need'. Sooner or later you will define what your minimal requirements to live are - and the Class A will be one of those items you decide you need or don't need.

Agree could very from 4 grand class A to a 250 grand plus unit. The OP will need to include the definition to narrow the feild.

Is there such thing as a maximalist?? That's what I wanna be. Bigger is always better, unless you're talking about a fire on board.
