42. That's my dream...
Although I tend more toward the self-contained types (like a small Class C), the principle is much the same. After all, how much space does a person really NEED? I mean, really need. Not much, when you come right down to it...

Most of our lives are spent expanding to fill up whatever available space there is. Subsequently contracting our lives is a conscious effort, but I think worthwhile.

Heck, most of the space in my apartment (and previously, my house) is simply a place to store STUFF that I've accumulated. I figure with some judicious tossing-out and paring-down, 160 square feet or so on wheels is more than enough for me.

And I believe I read somewhere (I'm still trying to find the article) that total resource usage in an RV is actually less than even in a teeny-weeny apartment. (Notwithstanding the petrol that'll be used if you're on the road every day of the year, of course.)

*sigh* I'm working on it. All too slowly, but I'm working on it.
