If you’ve ever considered living in an RV or a tiny home, there are some things to consider that you may not have thought of…. I know I certainly didn’t!
Here are a few things that I’ve learned from living in the RV these past 4 months….
1 If you stop at a gas station to use the bathroom and they hand you a block of wood attached to a key and tell you it’s out back… don’t go. Just don’t. Gross.
2 When living in a small space…. DO NOT go to Homegoods, At Home, or Target without a list. And stick to the list because whatever it is… you DON’T need it. You really don’t. And it won’t fit anyway.
3 Water really is a precious commodity. We are truly blessed in this country to have running water available. When you live in an RV and have to fill your water tank, AND dump your grey water tank… you learn quickly to conserve.
4 When you flush the toilet, it’s gotta go somewhere. Lucky for me, Thad handles all the “dumping” of tanks, but seriously… what a blessing indoor plumbing is. ***This is why you learn to use the bathroom everywhere else so you don’t fill your own tank as quickly.*** (Did you know they call the tube used to drain the toilet tank a “stinky slinky?” lol. Gross!)
5 America is stunning and there is more to see than anyone would ever have time for. Go see as much as you can because it’s truly worth it. (My fav is still Mt. Rushmore.)
6 Ya better love the person you travel with because you are together in a small space all the time! If you’re not married to your BFF, you need to do some relationship work before venturing into a tiny home! How about a DIY Relationship Repair course for ONLY $7 at: http://diyrelationshiprepair.com (It WILL change your relationship!!!)
7 It’s hard to get deliveries when you have no address but many post offices offer “general delivery.” That means you can send a package to a post office and go there to pick it up. Just call the PO first to make sure they offer the free service.
8 Staying connected is super important. It can feel a little lonely when you are away from friends and family for an unknown amount of time. Remind your friends that you’ve moved, not moved ON and encourage them to reach out and say hello!
9 You really can work from anywhere! I am writing this in the RV somewhere in Virginia while Thad drives. Thank god for hot spots and wifi! If you want to learn more about becoming financially free enough to travel and work from anywhere, send me a message and let’s set up a free call!
10 You need more than yoga to be flexible! You’ve got to be willing to be flexible enough to change your mind about where you going or when you’ll arrive, and where you’re gonna sleep each night! Thank god for Cracker Barrels because they have designated RV spaces and allow overnight parking at all of their restaurants for free… and it’s way better than a Walmart parking lot- trust me!
