You might get something out of this site if:

You think an awesome experience is something everyone else always has
You think adventure is looking at the ladies dainties in the Sears Catalog :)
You've got more cousins than Carters' got little pills
You find people are always telling you that you're definitely the most interesting person they've ever met
You don't like high stress jobs. Like when your husband tells you that you've got to the mow the lawn TWICE this year.

If the idea of that kind of life gets you down
Just wait until you discover what living life on the road is really like.

 

"Always follow own life plan, otherwise GPS lead you to dead end!"
--The Great Kiva

There are lots of buttons and links here, some might go somewhere, most probably don't. Even I, smart as I am :) ain't got'em all figured out yet. But like some feller said, "It ain't the destination, it's how many times you got to repair the brakes during the journey, otherwise you might not be able to stop when you get to where you didn't know you were going."

Don't worry about what this website costs. You get the RV Dreamers bug you'll learn right quick you'll need to keep every penny you got. :) But if your a real smart feller and come up with a way of gettin' people to send you money so you can live it up, keep it to yourself. Cause if someone else does it, it might chip away at your good fortune.

Oh, one last thing, if you just got to support something, Support Our Troops, they're keeping our country safe so we can live this life.

This website is dedicated to my grandpap who always said, "Boy, you got a knack for doing the dumbest things." And how could I forget my city feller cousin (the one whose name I never learned) and his cute wife :):), who gave Nilda and me the RV Dreamers bug when they told us about the Great Kiva on the day they got lost.

Wantstas, The RV Series 006

The fourth step on the road to full time mobile, mobile home livin' are the wantsta step. I.M. sure that y’all didn’t know that it were such a complicationed process to this lifestye me and Nilda live, but that are why there are so many folks that talk about doin’ it, so few that actually takes it up, and then so many that drop outta it after just a few years. I.M. also an understandin’ of y’all if’n yer faced with a ifnheel or a ifnsheel and were a lookin’ for the words of wisdom only I.M. capable of producin’ to help y’all overcome that obstacle. There will be more on that later in this series, but fer now we are a lookin’ at them that wants to ties the full time knots and not them that are full time nots. Sorry to leave you a hangin’, but remember, a half not only tightens the noose around yer ownselfs neck and slowly strangles you.

Now none of this are a gittin’ us any further down the bumpy road to the fulltime life that are paved with good intentions and potholed with the realities that most folks can’t see fer all the golden dreams bein’ tossed their way. So that are where we are gonna begin this lesson, you bein’ one of them RV dreamer types that are a thinkin’ any dream are a good dream.

Once, long time ago, y’all had that very first first RV dream that turned into nightly RV dreams and you into a RV dreamer and maybe eventually you and who ever yer with into RV dreamers. You saw that first mobile, mobile home that were actually mobile. You went to a RV sales place and survived yer first encounter with the thing of RV nightmares, the RV mobile, mobile home salesperson where you learned that while you always thought there was some difference atween fellers and ladys, in this case there ain’t.

All this were in the early days of the learnin’ experience that everyonebody a livin’ this here way goes through. So in the second part of this lesson will will be dealin’ with the what’s whats and the what’s not whats. If’n yer not understandin’ that, then yer not a wantsta, but that are why I.m. are here to explain it to ya.

Commenting on the RV-DREAMERS :):):) Blog

I.M. wants to thank all y’all whose a reedin’ this here blog, whether regular like, or on occasion. I.M. ain’t no different than most folks in that I.M. do appreciate the comments he gits, and from what I.M. reads that are what keeps most writers a writin’. Howsoever, don’t worry none if’n ya don’t make comments it are okay as I.M just enjoys writin’, even it weren’t that way back when he first begun.

As fer as comments on this blog go, if’n y’all want to comment but don’t want to be identified, just click the anonymous button on the comments which makes you totally anonymous with no way to tell who you are by nobody nowheres nohow noway. I.M. tellin’ ya all them Russian’s knows to do that fer sure.

As fer what folks say, I.M. don’t filter or delete no comments except that there is a hole bunch of Russian reeders that gets automatically put into the spam box by Blogger afore I.M anyone ever gits to see them. If’n it are a reel comment and I.M. can read it, it will be posted no matter what it are.

I.M. hasn’t got nothin’ against folks that’s got moderationing on their comments section of theierownselfs blog as a rule. It are just that I.M. don’t understands why they do it as the Blogger spam filter works at least 99% of the time. Howsoever, since everybody has gots their own way of doin’ things, it are okay.

What I.M. do object to are the folks who use that moderation to make sure that only things that is good fer them gits posted, especially thinkin’ of the fellers that make money a shearin’ the RV sheep. Grandpap always said it are a free country and folks is free to do their own thing. But somehows or other when yer tryin’ to point out that somethin’ are most obviously wrong and y’all can’t do it, it can be some upsettin’ at times. I.M. don’t believe it are a cause it comes from I.M., but rather them fellers don’t want nothin’ negative said about them other than the few times they especially allow it. That are so them that hangs on the every word them fellers write thinks them fellers is opened minded when actually they ain’t. I.M. has most likely said more than I.M. shoulda on this subjective as fer as some folks is concerned, but it bein’ I.M.’s blog, that are the way it are.

Reeders make Writers

I.M. do most appreciate all y’all who has commentated on I.M.’s writin’ struggles as of late. I.M. don’t like to write just to be writin’ and have what are wrtten be just words on the screen with no meanin’. It are the same with comments that I.M. leaves on them blogs he reads. But it has been seemin’ like words is all I.M. has been writin’ as of late.

I.M. ain’t one to just comment, poor you, and leave it at that when you got problems and blog about them. I.M. tries to write something that maybe helpful in them cases. Other times when I.M. reads somethin’ interestin’ on a blog, I.M. tries to leave a most interestin’ comment back. I.M. also has fun a jabbin’ away on occasional at them that thinks that other folks in the RV mobile, mobile home way of livin’ owe them a livin’, or should at least provide them with the money to live the way they wants to instead of what they can actually afford.

Nilda has been pushing I.M. to write more about what our daily way of livin’ are and maybe it will happen. What I.M. tries to do are to show what the fulltime way of livin’ really are like fer most folks, which ain’t the way them fellers tryin’ to make a livin’ off’n y’all write. Sure they throws out a tidbit now and then that it ain’t all roses, but it sure seems to get lost in all that other smelly stuff they is throwin’ out by the shovelful.

Nilda has also been suggestin’ I.M. write an E Book, which she says is the latest thing in the publishing world, and that book should be I.M.’s unique perspective on RV mobile, mobile livin’. Since I.M. ain’t got time to do all there are to do now, that ain’t likely to happen, but Nilda can be mighty purr sway sieve when she wants to be. The first thing I.M. wants to do are to get back to doin’ some daily commentin’ on folks blogs, meanwhile them writin’ projects and probably the resuming of the writin’ this blog every day are just gonna have to wait a while.

Still More RV Dreamers FAQ’s

There don't seem to be no end to the questions that newlies think are important, and with that in mind, here are some that will have you wonderin' if the I.M. are a tryin' to education the uneducationalble, of if it would be even worse if'n it weren't not fer I.M.'s depth of knowledge.

We have never owned an RV before, but because of all the helpful information in you blog, we have decided to join Nilda and you and become full timers. My husband thinks a front kitchen would be nice, though most RV’s have the the kitchen located in the center of the coach. I realize it would make it easy to look outside and enjoy the scenery when fixing our meals, but I also realize that entertaining and the thought of everyone having to always be walking through the kitchen area when they enter or leave the RV would be a problem since the RV we are looking at buying would be a large Class A Diesel Pusher with a bath and a half,a& walk-in closet and a 54 inch TV in the entertainment center. My husband is saying that I am worrying about nothing. What are your thoughts about this?

Lady, when you gots a question that I.M. has got to start reedin’ on Monday to finish reedin’ it on Wednesday, you don’t need no answer, you need to be a checkin’ yer husband’s hearing as I.M. can’t see no other reason he would put up with you. As far as yer question and what I.M.’s thoughts are, I.M. are gonna quote yer husband, “nothing”. P.S, just so you knows, it ain’t Nilda and me’s blog, it are, me and Nilda’s blog, I.M. being the brains ahind it all as you can tell from readin’ I.M.’s posts versus them that Nilda writes.

Why do my tires keep blowing out?

Cause the air keeps escapin’ from them. What are it with the questions I.M. has got here, don’t none of these folks gots any brains?

I have heard that slides can be a problem, should I stay away from them, and have you had any problems with them?

I .M. has never had any personal experience with them slides, though Nilda’s got a relative that lives out in California and she has written that they has had some slides. I.M. guessin’ that as long as you stay away from the mountains in the winter when it are snowin’ and California when it are rainin’ yer not gonna have no trouble with any slides. It are sure a pleasure on occasion to get a question that don’t have nothin’ to do with the mobile, mobile home lifestye as it lets I.M. showcase fer his reeders just how knowledgeable I.M. are on so many different subjects.

Just how much air should I put in my tires?

What are the shape of a donut.? How would you describe a ball? What do you say just after the "a" and afore the "toit"? What do you put in the chamber of a squirrel gun when you load it? Need I.M. ask anymore? If that tire ain’t round, it ain’t goin’ no wheres, so if it are flat on the bottom it ain’t got enough air in it. As far as how much enuff is enuff, somewheres there are a label that says how much is enough, though what with you askin’ that there question the way you did, I.M. wonderin’ if yer smart enough to be reedin’ it even if y’all were able to find it.
