Hi everyone! We are full timing in a Heartland Landmark, and loving life. Brand new to the rv lifestyle, and are three months into this year-long adventure. We have two small kids, a couple large dogs and a fish with us. My husband is in the military and doing a year of training around the states. We decided a fifth wheel would be an adventure instead of living in hotels and dorms. Besides, we have a retired military working dog with us, and as sweet as he is, most places don't welcome a 105lb Belgian Malanois, even with working dog paperwork and a shiny badge.
Anyway, can't wait to mingle with other Heartland families! I started a blog, really to tell on my husband and his billion snafus as he works around managing our camper... When we were looking at buying one, I wanted to know what life was like in a camper full time with kids and pets, and couldn't really find answers to what I was looking for. Another reason for the blog. I hope you'll all check it out and contribute, as I am so new to this lifestyle I need all the advice and help I can get~
Has anyone else removed their dining table and chairs in lieu of dog crates? Where do you put your own Christmas tree? Has your child used your floor vents to "melt the fat off their crayons" Do you watch your tanks drain with the enthusiasm that my children do? Have you ever auto-leveled your camper but it really isn't level? (http://www.crowdedcamper.com/?p=41) I still don't understand why that happened. Does full-timing ever get old? Does the sanity ever return? Did your children turn out ok?
So many questions... Thanks for the replies!
