In the fall of 2017, Mary sold her house and moved into a 16-foot-long travel trailer. The purpose of the move was to find a way to live a better life with debilitating fatigue and seasonal affective disorder. In her first year she would learn about the unique network of people who live in RVs full time and come to see America, and her place in it, in a totally new light.Within this memoir, each chapter shares an important piece of information about how to live in an RV, including more than seven kinds of places to park and how to dump your black tank uphill. Mary shares how her full-time RV journey has been shaped by her illness, from sleeping at a national monument instead of hiking there to staying ahead of an evacuation so it didn't turn into more than she could handle.Full-time RV living provides opportunities to people who do not fit well into suburbia for a variety of reasons, including disability. Join Mary as she goes from loss to a year's worth of new experiences and a new sense of success."I saw into a lifestyle and a world I don't know much about." -Valery M."I didn't understand why Mary was so against unsolicited advice until I read this book. The internet can be very demanding of people with disabilities." -James L."I'm a 68-year-old woman and I didn't think I could RV by myself, but now I think I can." -Lisa F."Mary's joy is inspiring. Life is short and I realized I wanted to start working on one of my dreams today." -Steve R.
