Short form… RV52.com was borne out of a divorce a long time ago!
For the people who want to know EVERYTHING:
How RV52.com was born
When I first met Sheri, she was a little hesitant on our first or second date to tell me where she lived. A big part of that is because she lived in a little RV. It was a fairly good sized 2008 Puma 29FKSS Travel Trailer.
I, however, lived in an apartment, mostly because I had recently went through a divorce and in my world, you either lived in a house or an apartment and after divorces, apartments are the landing zone of choice.
A different way of thinking
You could think of me as the “typical close-minded middle American mindset”. I knew about trailer houses, sometimes called single-wides, but I simply was not interested in that type of living for a number of reasons. So it was apartment or house.
But Sheri opened my mind to something different. An RV was something different entirely. RV’s were luxury goods (by many standards) that you buy along with your boat. RV’s were SMALL. Unlike trailer homes, RV’s weren’t low income affairs trying to grab as much square feet as possible – no RV’s represented something completely different. RV’s are inherently mobile – constructed for durability while trailer homes represented fixed location (no different than houses or apartments).
Sheri’s RV represented something completely new : Living small by choice. It made me ask questions. It made US question how much we needed. RV’s make you completely re-examine place and permanence.
Marriage changes everything
Sheri and I married in 2009 and within a short amount of time, she talked me into trying the Puma RV. It was too small for a family, but for the two of us, it was a great experience.
I was hooked. And I knew in 2009 that I had a blog topic that I could write about, pretty much the rest of my life.
RV is more than a Vacation “house”
I would love to hear from you as I journey and journal. Your suggestions and inputs are important to me.
