While she’s tenting at the back of her automobile, she shortly turns into and perhaps a tad jealous in any respect these individuals fortunately tenting of their RVs the place they’ve stoves and heaters and actual beds.
(This is how I really feel any time we find yourself boondocking subsequent to tenters. I really feel like I want to supply them a cup of espresso within the morning.)
This weekend learn is brief and candy (and the primary e book in a sequence, if you happen to get hooked). In addition to sharing Ellie’s transition into RV life, there a couple of nice insights for amateur RVers too.
