Fulltime RV Living . . . The Magic of a Campfire

When I was younger, long before I
began living full time in an RV, traveling Life is
the open road, camping in nature and Too
building a campfire . . . I dreamed about Short
living in a house with a huge front To
porch . . . the kind of porch that graced Wait
the houses of the early 1900s . . . with For
porch swings, rocking chairs, and porch Someday!
rails to sit upon . . . a good book to read
in one hand, a glass of lemonade in the
other.

Life is
Those glorious front porches provided Too
an open invitation to neighbors strolling Short
by on a summer evening, a place to To
visit with family and friends, a retreat Wait
for relaxing and reading, for sitting and For
daydreaming, a perfect setting for Someday!
intimate conversations and romantic
first kisses.



And then, the influx of air conditioning Life is
closed all the doors and windows, Too
everyone was drawn inside to escape Short
the heat . . . and the design of modern To
houses eliminated the massive use of Wait
this “unnecessary” space to add a few For
more feet of living space inside . . . and Someday!
the era of open and welcome
hospitality was over.



Life is
Even the decks that adorn the houses Too
today, which provide a fantastic space Short
for grilling and fun, fall short of To
providing the kind of instant welcome a Wait
front porch had . . . no one just walks to For
a backyard deck unless invited. Someday!



Life is
Too
We have become recluses of sort . . .
Short
sheltered inside our houses . . . shut off
To
from leisurely serendipitous
Wait
conversations with passerbys . . .
For
disconnected from getting to know our

neighbors.

porch.



Life is
Build a campfire and watch the magic Too
of the early 1900s return as people Short
begin to gather round. It happens To
every single time . . . the campfire Wait
becomes an invite to pull up a chair, For
talk for a while and relax . . . just as the Someday!
front porch used to do.



Life is
Too
There are no strangers around a Short
campfire . . . there is just a sense of To
welcome and acceptance for anyone Wait
who cares to join us. For
Someday!



Life is
The sharp crackle of the fire, the Too
invigorating smell of the wood burning Short
that permeates your clothes and hair, To
the serene setting as darkness settles Wait
in under the starry sky all make for an For
evening of hearty laughter, intriguing Someday!
conversations and memorable stories
from new friends and old around a
blazing campfire.



Life is
A campfire sets the stage for an even
Too
playing field. The couple living in the
Short
huge Class A motorhome plops down
To
among those camping in tents and
Wait
pickup campers and popup campers or

Scamps without any regard for status or

boasting. Everyone is equal around the
campfire . . . every story is captivating
and inspiring.



Life is
Gather around a campfire and watch Too
the miracle of loaves and fishes appear Short
right before your eyes . . . food to grill To
and share appears out of thin air, Wait
branches are trimmed to hold a hot dog For
over the fire, beer and iced tea are Someday!
shared freely, and someone always
finds the fixins for s'mores.



Life is
Too
This is when I realize my dream for a Short
front porch has come true . . . not by To
designing a house to live in for thirty Wait
years in the suburbs, but by living For
fulltime in our RV and building a simple Someday!
campfire on a cool evening.



Life is
Too
Sometimes, it’s the simple things that
Short
have the most profound effect on us . .
To
. a simple campfire draws us to relax . . .
Wait
take an easy pace instead of the rushed
For
frenzy of day to day living most people

know.



Life is
A simple campfire reconnects us to Too
nature . . . the great outdoors, the Short
sunsets, the stars, the sounds of owls To
and coyotes and frogs. Wait
A simple campfire opens our hearts and For
minds to listen to our neighbors and Someday!
friends and strangers.



Life is
Too
We take our front porch with us Short
wherever we go . . . and the result is To
always the same . . . if you build it, they Wait
will come! For
Someday!
