One of the benefits of living on the road in a motor home, is the lack of storage. Yes, I did say: benefits. When you live in a "regular" house, there are any number of places to keep things which are not being used all the time. A garage holds more than cars, a basement is a wonderful place to keep a lot of treasures, an attic can hold more than R-19 insulation, closets are more than places to hang clothes and patios, storage sheds and all kinds of dressers, bureaus desks and bookshelves are available to keep that essential item we just can't live without.
But on the road, even a 39-foot Class-A motor home, luxurious by most RV standards, has only so much space, and the easy answer to most buying decisions is an easy one: "We just don't have any place to put it". And for most of us in this life style, that's a good thing and more than an easy cop-out. At the moment, Karen is in the process of trying to consolidate books, games, dvd's and cd's, extra shoes, clothing, and whatever else we have on the floor of our bedroom closet into a 64-quart plastic bin which we bought at Walmart earlier today. Whatever doesn't fit in it or around it in the closet will have to find a home somewhere else. The usual answer is: "down below" in one of our storage bins. Since we will be leaving soon for the Passion Play, it will be a good time for me to rearrange those bins, consolidate, organize and then make the final decision on what stays here with Loren and Diane, what goes to the first Goodwill we pass on the road or is relegated to the burn barrel or garbage pail. We won't mourn too long for anything which doesn't return to Arkansas with us. A place for everything we need and needing only what we have a place for.
There's only so much space..........and that's a good thing.
