๐- Your Home-on-Wheels
Every new RVer will hear the same recurring warning repeated throughout the start of their journey: RVs require A LOT of maintenance. Even truer is that this amount of maintenance skyrockets if you plan to live and travel in your RV full-time. While this nomadic lifestyle is sought after by so many who wish to attain a new-found sense of freedom, itโs not exactly the carefree and whimsical experience you see from van-life influencers who are so often seen staring out of their opened barn-style doors onto far stretches of lush, wildflower sprinkled meadows. As they sit, hands curled around a warm mug of coffee, sometimes a dear can be seen grazing in the distance.
If you want to take your life on the road, it is best to erase these fantasies from your mind. Full-time RVing is a lot of hard work, and sometimes it can feel like you are just living between two catastrophes. On the other hand, I must tell you that we believe this lifestyle is worth every ounce of blood, sweat, and tears that get poured into it. Nothing worth doing ever comes easy, and if it was in fact โeasyโ then there would be a much greater number of people who embark on the adventure.
If you are an aspiring full-time traveler, I can only assume that you are up for the challenge, just as we were when we first bought our home-on-wheels one year ago. To better prepare you for the tribulations ahead, we are sharing all the maintenance that we had to perform on our RV, as well as what it cost us, as full-time RV travelers.ย
So, whether youโre here for informational purposes, or you simply would like to have a laugh at our expense, continue reading to learn about everything we did during our first year of RV maintenance, and how much it cost us.
