On the Road Again

The DrsC have owned a series of RVs since 1972, some 45+ years. As I write this we are camped by a reservoir under an oak tree enjoying the warm sunshine of the southern U.S. winter.

We’ve never full-time RVed, but came close once or twice during on-leave years while professors. Now we end up spending roughly 3 months a year on the road, mostly in winter “snowbirding.”

The Los Angeles Times has an article by a semi-retired woman who writes for a living and, with her husband, lives full-time in a small motor home. Hat tip to Instapundit for the link. There are a substantial number of such folk, often called by the neologism “workampers.” We’ve known several full-time workampers in our travels, they love it.

Recently we’re not tempted to work while RVing. We do recall a summer 18 years ago we spent writing a series of children’s books living in our RV in WY while our home there was built.

Now lucky or foresighted enough to afford leisure, we choose to pursue nonremunerative passtimes like our blogs, and the other DrC’s crocheting for Project Linus. Some day we’ll be too frail to RV, giving up our “freedom machine” will be sad.
