My husband is in the military and we will be moving in a few months to the FT Bliss/ El Paso TX area, where he will be attending an Academy. We should only be there around a year. We have been toying with the idea of buying a 5th wheel and living in it for the year to pay off a significant chunk of it. There is a MWR (military) camp right outside of the base and we know from friends that have gone to the same school that others have done the same. we have a daughter who will be three at the time, but we are pretty outdoorsy so I don't think it would be a huge issue with her. I just found out, however that I am pregnant and am now second guessing this plan. We would arrive about 2/3 Through the pregnancy and the baby would be in the RV for about 8 months before our next assignment. We do not plan on living in the RV permanently, but have rented them in the past and really love the idea of having one for travel. So on the one hand I am wondering if I am absolutely crazy considering being pregnant in an RV with a 3 year old, and then having a newborn and 3 year old in such a small space (oh and a 35 pound dog). On the other hand I feel like a year of close quarters might be worth all the years of having a paid off RV to enjoy weekend and leave trips in. Anyone done something similar or have some words of wisdom? Feel free to tell me I am crazy lol. Thanks in advance
