Having an RV lifestyle can mean something different to you than it does to me. 

To me, it means living in an RV and traveling with the RV fairly often, probably going south for the winter and north for the summer. It means that I will live in the RV full-time and can move around when I choose and my home goes with me. I probably wouldn’t have another home such as a house or an apartment that I would return to in-between my travels.
