There are lot of RVers I follow or have met recently who are buying their first rig, changing rigs, moving into boats, or heading back into stick houses.
I look around Miranda and think of how much work I’ve put into making her as near to a perfect home on wheels as I could make with my resources. All I can say is that unless something really major happens, I ain’t ever movin’ again!!! I don’t think I could do this once more!
This is the longest I have lived in one space in my adult life and I have zero desire to move. Sure, I sometimes look at other rigs and wonder ‘what if’, who doesn’t, but it’s never serious. I now know that unless Mr. Perfect comes along, Miranda is going to be my only RV.
She is getting on with years, but has less than 62,000 miles / 100,000KM on the odo and has been well maintained. She can last a good while longer. The interiors has been so carefully tailored to my needs that I am not likely to outgrow her unless, of course, my family expands.
I do imagine that I will eventually redecorate (and even have the new colour scheme all planned out!), but that will be a few more years down the line. For now, I’m really enjoying my cheery pink, yellow, and green.
Yes, there is money to be put into this rig, there always will be, but I really don’t see any point in changing, especially since I’m fairly certain I would have a difficult time selling Miranda considering how much I’ve customized her.
Peace and rest at length have come. All the days long toil is past, and each heart is whispering, Home, home at last.
It’s always nice to feel comfortable with what we have. If it feels like home to you, then it is. No need to have your home exactly like everyone elses. Everyone tries to make their rig their very own with special touches. You are just more artistic than many.
My brain isn’t like anyone else’s, so it’s no wonder my home isn’t either. 😀
I’m glad you have made Miranda perfect for you and hope you can stay in her as long as you want to do so. But, I think you underestimate how easy it would be to sell her. I suspect several of your readers would snap her up in a minute if you ever decide to sell. We already know how perfect she is and how much work you’ve put into getting her that way.
Linda, I think that’s optimistic. 🙂
