8 Life Lessons from 8 Years Living on the Road

n 2016, my husband and I (along with a cat and a dog) moved into a fifth wheel and became nomadic. In my 8 years living on the road, I have learned many lessons about relationships, materialism, and happiness. Here are the top 8 things I have learned from being a full-time RVer.

Less is More

When we moved into an RV, we knew we would have to downsize our possessions to fit into our approximately 300-square-foot fifth wheel. However, we did not know that we would come to embrace the minimalist lifestyle and move into an even smaller RV 8 years later.

That’s right, after 8 years in our 34-foot fifth wheel, we downsized to a 23-foot travel trailer. Living with less stuff forced us to evaluate what we needed, and by the time we moved out of our fifth wheel, there were empty cabinets.
