When in Doubt, Head Outside
The beauty of RVing is that when life starts to feel cramped, I remind myself we can go outside to get fresh air. My wife and I like to do a lot of outdoor activities to help release steam. It also helps us to bond and have some fun. Currently, we are learning how to play pickleball, which has been a fun yet humbling experience.
Spend Time Together and Apart
My wife and I like to spend intentional time together watching movies, exploring our surroundings, and going to dinner, but we have our individual hobbies as well. My wife likes to read and crochet, while I like to go fishing, collect antiques, and play video games. This helps us maintain a sense of self even though we are together the majority of the time.
Establishing Privacy
It’s important to establish privacy especially if you are working from the road like we are. Our best advice to do so is to stay organized so you can get work done and stay out of each other’s hair. For example, if I need to take a call, my wife can step outside, or I can go inside the truck and she can stay inside the RV. It’s all bout a give-and-take.
RV trips can be highly rewarding, allowing you to spend time with loved ones while making incredible memories. All it takes is a little bit of understanding, organization, and preparation and you’ll be able to maintain a happy and healthy relationship no matter how small your space is.
