Rv Travel Quotes

He who would travel happily must travel light”.  ~Antoine de St. Exupery

The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. -- I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them.  ~Jack London

Everything we possess that is not necessary for life or happiness becomes a burden, and scarcely a day passes that we do not add to it”.   ~Robert Brault,

You've got a lot of choices.  If getting out of bed in the morning is a chore and you're not smiling on a regular basis, try another choice.   ~Steven D. Woodhull

Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.”  ~~William Morris

It is preoccupation with possessions,-- more than anything else --  that prevents us from living freely and nobly.  ~~Bertrand Russell

They become obsessed with trying to equip their vehicles with gadgets to deal with every possible contingency. Their lives become ruled by the dread thought that one day they may find themselves in a situation in which they are not entirely self-sufficient. I once went camping for two days at Lake Darling in Iowa with a friend whose father—an RV enthusiast—kept trying to press labor-saving devices on us. “I got a great little solar-powered can opener here,” he would say. “You wanna take that?

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do --So throw off the bowlines.-- Sail away from the safe harbor -- Catch the trade winds in your sails --Explore. Dream. Discover.”   ~Mark Twain

Our sex life seemed to be of great interest to everyone, and I hated that. Other women slyly commented that they’d heard us inside the RV. Well, they couldn’t have heard Kes, because he was never loud, not even when he came. Embarrassingly, it must be my gasps and screams that they were hearing, unless it was the sound of me being thoroughly pounded. Yeah, not at all embarrassing.

On the road, I met couples traveling in RVs and discovered that a national roving group called RV Women provided campgrounds and community. Other gatherings were massive and seasonal—most famously, the Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival.

Little did I know that Tammy was having “visions” in her private prayer at work and at home. Until one day, after she had left her job, she came home and said we needed to pick something up. Apparently, she had partially paid for an RV to travel and felt that her getting let go from her job was a “sign from God”. She told me that I was to be a deacon and we were to leave Bakersfield and like Abraham, were to follow God and move away from idolatry and like the Israelites from Egypt move away from our slavery to self.

I love how they got in the RV and did it for their dog." (The Gayle King Show, May 2010)

Thing is, I’ve decided what I’m going to do next. I have to go back to the university, of course. Next semester, I’m cutting back my schedule. I need more freedom. I’m going to transition out, sneak up on retirement. I’m going to get myself one of these!” he exclaimed, smacking the steering wheel. “Mary’s sons are married and have children—they’re great kids, superior stepsons. One lives in Texas, one in Florida. I’m going to put my house on the market and retire by the end of school, just in time to begin traveling. I’m going to see this country one state at a time, and I’m going to drop in on those boys. They both have amazing wives. One has three children, one has two—and even though I’m a stepfather, they call me Papa instead of Grandpa. I’m going to visit them occasionally while I’m traveling, then move on to other sights, then check back in. What do you think of that idea?” Her smile was alive. “It sounds wonderful. You’ll enjoy that. Maybe I’ll even see you now and then in Virgin River.” “Or, you could come along,” he said. “You have all those military boys all over the place. We could check on them, as well. And believe me, once a couple of them get married and have children, the others fall in line. I’ve seen it a million times. As soon as I get an offer on the house—which is a good house and should bring a nice price even in a depressed economy—I’m going to start shopping for a quality RV. I’ve been looking at pictures online. Maureen, you have no idea how high tech these things have become! They now come with expandable sides, two people showers, freezers, big screens in the living room and bedroom, Whirlpool tubs—you name it! How’d you like to have a hot tub on wheels, Maureen?” She looked over at him. He was so excited by his idea, he was actually a little flushed, and she found herself hoping it wasn’t high blood pressure. If the moment ever presented itself, she’d ask about that. But after all his rambling about his future RV, all she could say was, “Come along?” “A perfect solution for both of us,” he said. “We’d have time together, we’d have fun together. We’d see the families, travel…” “George, that’s outrageous. We’ve had a few lunches—” “And we’ll have a few more! We’ll also e-mail, talk on the phone, get together occasionally—in Virgin River, but also in Phoenix and Seattle. We’ll spend the next six months figuring out if we fit as well as it seems we do.” “Long distance? Occasional visits?” she asked doubtfully. “It’ll give you time to look over my accounts to be sure you’re not getting conned out of your retirement.” He laughed at his own joke, slapping his knee. “Of course, with five brawny, overprotective sons you’re relatively safe from a dangerous guy like me.” He glanced at her and his expression was playful. “We’re not young, Maureen. We should be sure we’re attracted to each other and that we get along, but we shouldn’t waste a lot of time. Every day is precious.

For most of us life has become boring, almost intolerable in its monotony. In an evolutionary blink of an eye, humans went from being in constant danger, to never being in real danger. It’s impossible for us to adopt to that much change, in that short a period of time. I firmly believe that the most of today’s societal problems can be traced back to that sudden change.

Vandwellers are Rule-Breakers: There is one common denominator to all the vandwellers I have ever met. They are all rule-breakers. I’m not talking about being outlaws or criminals. That is a totally different thing that involves a disregard for other people, and I almost never see that in vandwellers. Almost universally we are polite and considerate. The idea of stealing from or harming others is unthinkable. No, we are rule-breakers in the sense that we make a deliberate decision to NOT live by societies unwritten rules: 1-Get a job and work it 5 days a week until you are old and worn-out. Only then can you relax and enjoy life. 2-Buy a house. Then sell it and buy a bigger house… repeat. 3-Buy lots of stuff. When something better comes out, buy it. Never stop buying!

I feared that we would get swept up into life and wake up ten years later wondering where our youth disappeared to.

And if we failed… Well if we failed, we could come back and find real jobs again. We were young. We could ease back into our careers with a few memories under our belt. I didn’t want to fail at my one chance at life.

we opened cabinets and looked around windows for signs of leaks—the only thing we knew to look for because water damage is “cancer for an RV” according to Heath’s grandpa.

we explained our trip to our friends and family was this idea that there is never a perfect time to travel. It went something like this: When you’re young, you have the time and energy to travel, but often not the means. When you’re middle-aged, you have the means and the energy, but not the time. When you’re old, you have the time and the means, but not the energy. No matter when you decide to go, there will never be a perfect moment and always some sort of sacrifice.

The risk now is that we look irresponsible, and the sacrifice is not being able to travel as comfortably as we’d like. But the risk in putting it off is that it might never happen—sacrificing the chance to chase our dreams.

Maybe it was like this with a lot of life. Your world seems small until you turn around and really start looking at it, yet it’s always there, just waiting for you to lift your head up and look around.

For most RVers their goal when traveling is not to get somewhere but to enjoy the journey.

So you could be like everyone else and sit around complaining about property taxes and traffic and how you don’t understand why everyone cares about the Kardashians because you don’t care about the Kardashians, but no matter what you all still end up talking about the Kardashians. Or, you can try full timing.

Steve Klubertanz's role as an Inspection/Maintenance Specialist at Scenic Traveler in Baraboo, WI, showcases his critical role in maintaining the RV dealership's quality reputation.

Unnecessary possessions are unnecessary burdens -- If you have them, you have to take care of them! --There is great freedom in simplicity of living. -- It is those who have enough but not too much who are the happiest”.   ~Peace Pilgrim

Ever since I was a kid I loved the idea of portable homes; I had long romanticized RV travel. Somehow I convinced Tracy to do it.
