This is the story I wrote back in 2010, about that trip the four of us, five if you count Nicholas, our Cocker Spaniel, took together to Elkhart, Indiana.

"What's it like owning a 38 foot long motor coach?"

I was asked that question the first time a few years ago. I had to stop and think for a minute or two.

Number 2:  Keep your temper on a very short leash. Or, when owning a motor coach, patience is not only a virtue but a necessity.
 

You know the old saying; it's the Journey not the Destination.
 

number 4. Owning a motorcoach is a never ending learning experience.

And just when you think you know it all, you find out just how stupid you really are.

Over the last ten years, Diane and I have learned, discovered, or otherwise stumbled upon a few things that have helped us during our adventures on the road.  

Well, I had so much fun coming up with a list of things that I have learned over the ten years that my wife and I have been motorhoming, I figured why not write down a few more? 
 

I feel the uge to post more of my Rules for Owning a Motor Coach, number 4, truisms.

The majority of us live our lives somewhere in between the sweet life and the habitation of dragons. We come into this world empty headed (and that is a good thing) and as we grow we learn that life has its pleasures and its pains.

We have all had them, those moments when we are so overjoyed to be motorhome owners and those other moments, the ones where you take a deep breath and ask yourself:

"Why did I ever buy this big blasted thing?"

Rule number 2, to be exact: Keep your temper on a very short leash. Or, when owning a motor coach, patience is not only a virtue but a necessity.

LIving Small........Less House, More Life!

My Rules for Full Timing in a Motorhome. 

Diane and I are living full time in our Motor Home. It did not happen the way we planned it or hoped it would...the transition from part time to full time has happened but it was rough.

This subject pops up every now and then in the Internet forums where I hang about on a regular basis. It may be a post titled "Is your Class A a Money pit?" or "A motor home costs a whole lot more than you think it does!"

A bit of background and a few observations about the motohoming-rving lifestyle before I continue with my story, you don't mind do you?

Diane and I camped in a tent for 30 years before making the huge jump to a motorhome. There was no step in between.

All of us have our own story about how we ended up owning a motorhome company or, like most of us, just owning a motorhome.

This is my story.
