Posted by JD Seller on July 26, 2013 at 01:13:37 from (208.126.196.144):

In an earlier post about buying an RV there where many opinions on what to do. I found reading them interesting.

I used to toy with the idea of a RV and traveling the country in one. My first wife and I even took a few trips in a borrowed one. Here is my take on an RV.

1) If you take an RV anywhere the wife really does not get much of a vacation. She still has a home to clean and other household chores to do. It just now is smaller and on wheels. I know we men can do them and try to share doing them but the reality is that the wife usually does most of it.

2) The total cost is about the same as vacationing other ways. The cost of the RV plus the maintenance and fuel will buy a whole bunch of hotel rooms. Meals too.

3) If you go some where and stay there for an extend time than the RV makes more sense. Those that travel south for the winter are a good example.

Now where we all differ.

I have spend a large part of my life working to have a home and roof over my head. So why, now that I have that, would I want a BOX on wheels to live in???? An especially the more rougher camping as in a TENT!!! I have worked/paid to avoid having to live in a tent so why volunteer for it. LOL

Also I have found I don't want to travel much anymore. Maybe a days drive away and a stay of a few days is more than enough for me.

I have seen a lot of the world in my earlier days. I have found as I get older I really do not want to travel that much. I have often thought about traveling to Alaska or Australia. Some long extended vacation. The long and short of it is I usually am sick of it in a few days/hours.

I would rather be home. My life is easy now. I have chores but I really do not "HAVE" to do them. The boys can do them or I can sell the cattle and such. It is the same way with the crops. It is work to raise them but I could really make just about as much clear money renting all of the ground at today's rental rates.

So I jokingly tell people that if I hit the lotto I can become a profession HERMIT!!!

LOL I find the life of a hermit kind of attractive many days anymore. Just tired of the BS that seems to be throughout life anymore.

So I think it is just entertaining how many people have such diverse tastes, wants, and needs.

So do we have enought to start a HERMIT forum??? The real problem would be who would take the time to make it work. Most of us want-a-bees hermits just would not want the interaction with the people involved.

I find myself asking this question a lot in my head when someone come in the lane: "What the heck do they want of me now???? " LOL I am not usually jumping for joy when visitors come around anymore.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
