The RV lifestyle seems glamorous, but in truth it requires a lot of practicality.

Here are five things' people ask:

How do you do laundry?

My motorhome has an all-in-one washer and dryer. I use the RV park laundromat for large items.

How do you cook?

My RV has a kitchen that’s just as functional as the one I had in my house.

How do you get mail?

We paid for a service that scanned mail for remote viewing. After going stationary, we received mail through the RV park office.

How do you manage extreme weather?

The weather in Arizona is rarely bad. In a weather event, it’s about planning ahead.

How do you get internet?

At first, we used an AT&T hotspot. When we went to stationery, we got internet with a local provider.

This lifestyle isn’t always easy, but freedom and flexibility make everything worth it.
