Motorhome Full Time – When you feel the urge to travel by motorhome, will you see the pitfalls?

Full time VR. What a fantastic lifestyle. It may not be for everyone, but for those who participate, it’s a great way to go.

Drive any highway in the world today and you’ll see RVs of every type and description traveling, mostly in the slow lanes.

These are happy people doing their thing. Many are families enjoying their vacations while most retirees enjoy life as it comes.

Soon the road will be left for another group of people who have decided to add excitement to their lives by trading their permanent homes for a lifetime on wheels. Many will belong to an RV travel club where they can stay at specific RV parks for a week or two at a time before moving on.

Travel through some of the southern states in winter and you’ll find large numbers of these people parked in countless parks.

There are thousands of trailer parks arranged like small and not-so-small towns with fairways, pools, golf courses, and happy people spending their winters idling in the warm weather.

Did you know that the small town of Quartzite, Arizona, with a full-time population of 2,800, expands to over 1,000,000 in winter when RVs arrive and take their place in the surrounding desert? For 16 miles in all directions they prepared for a long stay.

Unlike the city back home, sewer and water trucks come to them. Owners participate in or attend the many store and park RV sales, gem shows, and flea markets that seem to spring up overnight.

This area has been featured in National Geographic magazine many times with photos showing the instant city that emerges each year.

When summer comes up north, most will hook up their tow vehicles and head for cooler weather to visit friends back home or hit the highways of North America in their homes on wheels.

One important thing for full-time RVers to consider is their safety.

Traveling with a group makes sense because thieves don’t mind people watching and will walk away from a group. They usually want to avoid trouble because all thieves are basically lazy cowards. They are too lazy to have a legitimate job and cowardly hide behind a gun to get what they want.

These lowlife creatures will search for the lone RV that is parked far away in a place where no one else can be present. They will approach the RV and look for tracks of a pulling away tow vehicle, indicating that they are free to walk in and steal everything in sight.

This is definitely something to think about before you decide to head out to that remote part of BLM land alone.

If you think it may not happen, think again. In the winter of 2010, a couple from Alberta, Canada, took a trip to British Columbia in their recreational vehicle. They had a tow vehicle behind their motor home. They disappeared without a trace. His trailer home was found burned to the ground a few days later. Two weeks later, his tow vehicle was found abandoned. The couple was never found.

Traveling alone is simply not a safe way to go. Join a group for safety and live to enjoy the RV lifestyle full time.

You probably lived many years to get to this point in life. please don’t throw it away
