Re: [A/S] AZ, Quartzite & Boondocking
Hi Indiana & Mary,
Ohhhh yes, it is very possible to live and travel in an Airstream. As
you can imagine, what a life! You would find that those of us who do
the fulltiming lifestyle are still in awe that we are so fortunate to
have discovered this life on the road. Carl and I have an anniversary
of 5 yrs. coming up Dec. 26 for being on the road. We had no idea how
long we would enjoy this but at this point we still love it and have
no idea of giving up fulltiming.
There are many styles of living on the road. Some do it part time by
keeping their house and traveling part of the year. Others have
no 'base' and travel year round. Others have no house but sit still
in one place in their Airstream (or other RV brand) and travel part
of the year. Now, travel 'year round' doesn't mean you are on the
move every day or every week. It is too expensive even if fuel
happened to be cheap.
Hunter shared the wonderful website for the RV Escapees club,
www.escapees.com. It is a club for RV fulltiming including all the
variations I mentioned above. It has a great magazine with articles
for this lifestyle but just as important it is a network of other
RVers living this lifestyle.
If you have been enjoying Hunter's Airstream List for long you will
have noticed that this forum is the best place to get a feel for what
Airstream 'you' might like. My suggestion is to buy a used
inexpensive Airstream to find out what you like and dislike about
that model. Then you can upgrade later.
Do you and Mary do things together a good portion of the time? Or do
you each have your own things you do separately a good portion of
your free time? It is important to enjoy being together 'a lot'
<grin>.
Okay, I've prattled on enough.
