If you and your significant other are considering moving from a house to an RV full-time one of the most basic things you must do is make sure that you are both on the same page before you do anything.

You must both have a clear understanding of what you are about to do, and what the pros and cons are of the move you are about to make.

This requires a very high level of communication and lots of  ’what if’. . .  scenarios thrown back and forth and worked out.  What if the money runs short?  What will we do if one of use decides that they really love it and the other one doesn’t?  How do we want this new life to be different from the one we have been living?

There is nothing more deadly to peaceful co-existance in a marriage than when Amy absolutely loves the life, but Joe has reached the point where he can’t stand looking at the RV anymore, but goes along because she’s so happy.  (Come to think of it, I guess that’s true whether you’re in an RV or not).  Each of you must undersand what compromises you will be willing to make to make sure you BOTH get what you want.

Initially I was going to use this video clip in connection with a talk about workkamping (workamping is term used to describe work that people do part time while traveling on the road.  It is a term coined, and registered by, the Workamper News group.

But in watching the clip, what really caught my interest is the revelation at the end of the interview (she hates it – he loves it) and the compromise that will have to be made if they are both going to be happy.
