The jobs initially took us up the East Coast then on to other job locations staying in hotels, then finally we decided to take the plunge and purchase a camper. Choosing a “covered wagon” was pretty basic for those heading West. We soon discovered, however, the choices were endless now a days.
Wide eyed, we entered the Keystone Zeppelin on the lot. The non-negotiables were bunk beds for the kids and it must be light enough for our oxen (a now different F150 but with 2 bench seats) to pull. The Zeppelin had it! Done. That was easy.
Nope. Minimalism hadn’t entered my mind yet. I had my stuff, ya know. Also, I needed headroom. That ceiling was claustrophobic. How in the world were we going to choose this camper?
How did the pioneers just let stuff go?
The Lord is so patient. His ways are higher, his thoughts are not our thoughts. He had a simple plan, GO. Let GO. Just GO.
After many more camper walkthroughs it be came apparent to me, we had to get a bigger RV – a fifth wheel with a high ceiling and a long slide out.
Remember, the “end in mind” was to be debt free. How then is that gonna happen with all these upgrades?
The Zeppelin was like $13,000 verses the Wild Cat which we chose was over double that. Beginning with the end in mind is a must. Choose wisely. Count the cost of each purchase. Especially when your storage is maxed out with stuff, even a case of water bottles is a questionable purchase, lol.
