Just six months ago, I was chomping at the bit to downsize from my 1,800 sq. ft. dream home steps from the national forest in Big Bear Lake, California. Our plan was to go to San Francisco in our RV and work in the city at high-paying jobs while living like paupers and stashing away all our extra earnings. Why? So, we could become nomads, traveling to 48 states within a year.
So what’s it like to live for a year in a 31-foot RV with two English Bulldogs, a moody tween, a 3-month-old baby and a claustrophobic husband? I won’t say it gives new meaning to term “hell on wheels,” but I will say that we only lasted six weeks. And we learned a lot in that time about ourselves and our travel style. Should you ever consider this crazy idea for ourself, here are 20 Dos and Don’ts we wish someone had told us.
