Been to long...

Well we are about to hit two (2) years in an R.V.! Who would have thought it?! We have made modifications so living is easier. For instance we took out the couch and replaced it with bunk beds (custom made). We re-did the flooring (about to do it again, first time was linoleum. This time will be laminate hardwood). We are talking about painting the inside. We replaced all the knobs with nice satin nickel ones. Replacing all the hardware too, including the hinges very soon!!! NO MORE BRASS! The lights were replaced in our bedroom with satin nickel lights. Soon we will have a new dinette set installed. We are making it ours, about time it has been ours for over a year now.

Ahhh the thoughts of upgrading to a bigger rig. Yes we have dreamed, and dreamed and thought about. We decided truck first, the house is still livable, we just want a smidgen more space. If you were to ask the boys, they want to be moving around not stationary. =-)

Things are going well all in all. Really need to figure out the whole skirting thing during the cold months though, just to block the cold air coming up from under the R.V. Talk about BURRRR.

New knobs:












New flooring (replacing though):

Wow...we hit our two (2) years being nomadic. Our Nomadiversary!

Who would have thought it! We have been a nomadic family or 4 plus 3 fur-babies for two (2) years now. I don't ever see us looking back. Even our kids plan on it in the future. I think it is great. We have made things easier, made the R.V. more livable (2 months of living in a tent...gave us lots of perspective!), and they aren't big things just little things that make it easier on us. This is our lifestyle so we have to adapt and change to it.

I dared to dream the other day of a bigger R.V. but right now I want a truck to be able to pull said bigger R.V. (hubby secretly wishes for a motorhome). I am just thinking either a bigger TT or a 5ver with bunk beds, two (2) would be ok, but want four (4) really. It would be easier on all of us and give a bit more space. Yes I would totally remodel the bottom bunk into a bunk/desk/play area for the kids. =-) Living in an R.V. for 22 months has given me that knowledge.

Until later...
