I hate moving. Who doesn't? The boxes. Realizing how much junk you really have and wondering if you need it. Calling the cable company to make an appointment to get service and hoping they show up.
But...when you live in a RV moving is much easier. First, you don't have to move any furniture because you're taking your home with you fully furnished. No need to wonder if your couch will work in the new house. No need to call the cable company because when you get to your site you just hook up to the electricity, water, sewer and cable and put out the slides, get things level (done automatically by the jacks) and viola, you're home.
As we are getting ready to leave for our big drive to Tennessee I've been looking around at all the clutter. You know how I like to have everything out where I can see it just in case I need it---that's even more challenging in a motor home with limited counter space. However, I have done an admirable job of accumulating pieces of paper and clutter. Why don't I go through this stuff regularly instead of letting it pile up? Anyway, 15 mins (or less) later and it's all taken care of.
The other thing we need to be careful about is making sure that nothing is left out that will jiggle or fall while we are moving so all the toiletries that I have cluttering the counter in the bedroom will need to be put away. Basically that means tossing them all into the container they are supposed to be in that goes in the cupboard.
You never have to worry about over or under packing because all your stuff is right here with you. However, when it rained on our trip out here we learned that we need to have our things out of the closet before we close up the slides because the closet is inaccessible then. "Can you get the umbrella?" "Sure, it's in the closet. I'll go get it....Oh. Ooops."
When deciding on a new location, we don't need to be concerned about property values, taxes or whether or schools. The major question: Is the sun shining there?
