3 Comments Transitioning to the RV Nomad Lifestyle
On Mondays, I write about personal issues related to full-time RVing life, from philosophical debates to homemaking topics.
Many people who transition to the full-time RV nomad lifestyle do not realise that they are moving to another version of ‘real life’ and that full-time RVing is not a perpetual vacation. You will find yourself facing the same responsibilities, from bills to housekeeping, and ‘tourism’ will eventually become less of a priority as you discover that every town is pretty much the same.
There will probably always be a bit of an exploration component, a given when you move from one strange locale to another, but there is more to discovering a community than hitting every museum. You can learn a lot about a town by spending a morning at a diner listening to the locals.
Moreover, full-time RVing does not change who you are at the core. A homebody recluse will most likely not become the star of the Sunday potluck and the neatnik won’t forgo the Saturday morning housekeeping blitz.

I learned that by living in several different states over the years. We are still who and what we are. Family is very important, and friends can come and go with the move.
You and Jennifer have got it exactly right. I live the same life, and am the same person, as a Full Timer as when I lived in sticks-n-bricks!
I went through the perpetual vacation somewhat after I retired and did 6 Road Trips with a small tow vehicle and a Teardrop trailer.
Now I live as I always have but look forward to a different front and back yard about every 2-4 weeks. Discovering new walking routes in a new place, seeing a new neighborhood; these are vacation enough for me and about all I can afford.
I still need to occasionally ‘get out’, but my wanderlust is definitely assuaged by being able to change backyards regularly!
