This is good because when we see things we MIGHT want, we know we have no room.

One of the DISadvantages of part time over full time, except I have a place to store all my collected rocks. They might weigh a motorhome down a bit...aka the long long trailer!

We have a canoe on the roof, inside the car goes in. Bob has to exit like the race car drivers thru a window. There are 2 kayaks and all the gear for kayaking. 2 bikes, a workshop complete with drill press. Lots of chemical type stuff (cleaner, oil). Then there is wood leveling boards our lawn furniture and lots of other STUFF. We are 65' long so we have to watch and plan where we can park as we don't like to disconnect to often. Besides than the STUFF wouldn't be handy.

But compared to our 28-foot trailer, it's huge. The kitchen is huge, the living room is huge, and we have 2 bedrooms.
