Could't find any thread with this problem of mine...
I loved to travel all my life and as soon as we start going places I imagined living on the road, somehow. I lived for 33 years in eastern Europe and haven't seen so many RV's over there, but we went tent camping and we've seen some countries, traveling in our small car and sleeping in motels. My husband was never such a camping fanatic, always hating to put the tent up or down, to inflate the mattress. He said he liked to travel, but not to sleep in tents and campgrounds, even though we saved a lot of moneys this way.
A few months ago I kind of twist his arm to get a TT and a truck and we went in two long trips (KS-TX and KS-NV), w/ the kids in the first one and w/ kids and my parents in the second one.
He works on the internet and we could do this at least 3 months/ year (the big kid's vacation), but he hates every second of it. I guess he's a homebody. In every trip he complains about the problems on the road, the lack of space, the physical work... I don't want to sound too whiny or bad mouth him, I just want to ask you guys and gals if I should give him more room to accommodate to the RV life or just drop the whole idea of a partial on the road life?
I'm willing to buy a conversion van to travel alone, at some point maybe during the summer if the kids stay w/ the grandparents. I've noticed that a lot of you are empty nesters so it would be much easier after the kids leave for college, but what could I do if I don't share this passion for traveling w/ my husband?
