FEROCIOUSLY
FREE
IN
A
TINY
RV? |
The ONLY way some people can follow the RV lifestyle they love is to stick to a tight budget. But how can you do that? Every month we'll look at some of your thoughts and ideas .. and let YOU tell us all your opinion
This month we feature
a
posting
from
Warrior
Widow
...:
"I
believe
that
our
country
has
become
pathologically
addicted
to
consuming
more
&
bigger
of
everything.
But
not
me
anymore!
This
month
is
my
14th
month
living
full
time
"chronically
ill
but
ferociously
free"
in
my
19'
Type
B
van.
In
bed
at
night
I
often
feel
like
a
kid
again:
I'm
in
a
treehouse!
No,
I'm
in
a
spaceship!
And
on
windy
nights,
the
best
of
all
.
.
.
I'm
in
a
covered
wagon.
With
my
little
dog
&
my
tiny
budget
I
have
stumbled
upon
exactly
the
life
I
never
knew
I
always
wanted!
Happy
Trails!"
