Hi,

I have been RVing for three years now, so I am not new at this but I am new on this forum.

I love boondocking with my Xscapers tribe and I spend half a year in my RV. The other half I spend with international traveling.

Why did I move into an RV?

You are working one-third of your life for a home where you not even are. When you are not working you spend your time (and money) cleaning it, fixing it, vacuuming, cleaning the gutters, mowing the grass, etc. Then, there are all the furnishings to buy and maintain. Not even talking about insurance and taxes. It’s just a never-ending, self-perpetuating cycle.

If you have a debt, basically you live to work and pay off your house and debt.

It’s not like that in an RV. It doesn’t hold a bunch of junk, so there’s less to clean. There’s no remodeling to be done (of course there will be some fixing to do). If you don’t like where you are at, put it in drive and move on. It’s just easier, simpler. Plus, you always have the most important things with you, like your personal items, clothes, computer, and even your bed and bathroom. You can take a shower, eat a snack, and your own bed on vacation with you. Plus, it only takes 10 minutes to clean the entire RV.

Simply put, when you live in an RV, you are always home, yet you are always on an adventure. Of course, it’s also a cheaper way of living. Once you buy your RV, you know that you will always have a place to live, which gives you the opportunity to take financial risks without jeopardizing your lifestyle.
