Full Time RV Living: The First 6 months: The True Story that no one tells you

Full-Time RV LivingThis is a story of the first six months on the road full time and the humourous and enlightening things that happened written in a conversational tone and purposely not edited. This isn't a checklist of what you need to do, simply our experiences of daily life for the first six months. This includes all the unexpected repairs, issues, fun, and thoughts we had.We started planning this 5 years before we ever stepped foot in an RV. What were we thinking?
