The Appearance of Minimalism
Minimalism is concept I’m trying to embrace fully. But, like so many ideas, it means different things to different people. Most minimalists would agree that however you define it, material possessions encompass most of the concept. Getting rid of stuff,…

Water Pressure Tank and a Hide Away Table
I’ve been showering in the Squatch lately, and I have to say: I love it! To many people, the small motorhome bathroom is too cramped and claustrophobic, but I think it’s cozy and efficient. Everything is within arm’s reach and…

Trustworthy, But Not Creditworthy
I relish change. Embrace it. I seek it out. I’m not a “fly by the seat of my pants” kind of guy that will just jump into any situation without mulling it over, but with some thorough planning I try…
The Rolling Workshop
In an effort to live the mobile lifestyle, I’ve purchased an enclosed trailer to use for additional storage space and a workshop area. The intention is to tow this trailer behind a Class C motorhome. More on the motorhome at Mobile…
Dreams With Wheels
I’ve been busy. Busy planning, purging, selling, donating, packing, and choosing an RV. It feels good to be busy again; to have direction, a plan. And, there is some sort of plan: a big change. We’re moving into a motorhome,…

The Prodigious Purge
I’m loving the purge! It feels so good to rid myself of unused items, unappreciated furniture, and redundant clothing. The books are a hard one. Some, I’ve read and won’t pick up again so, donating them to the library is…

Minimalism By Distillation
I’m going small and it feels good. We’re in the process of finding a suitable motorhome to live in. A beautiful Class C to modify for our purposes. A remodeled rear bedroom for storage, a composting toilet in the lavatory,…

A Winnebago For The End Of Days
I love ridiculous titles! We’re back to RV shopping again! Winnebago, because they are very popular and among my favorite models of motorhome other than Lazy Daze. End of Days, because anyone with a frontal lobe can see things aren’t…
