Having dealt with "what motorhome is " let's get philosophical . . .

Contemplate the Spirit of Motorhome

When first you approach a Motorhome, you may feel that it is a large, intimidating mechanical beast. You are correct, but think -- many small feminine persons drive safely on narrow county roads with 60 or so small children seated (sans seatbelts) in similar vehicles ... in snow and rain ... with their passengers screaming and throwing spitballs.

OK - that doesn't make the vehicle any smaller, but if you can just control your instincts and apply logic, you will make it easier for yourself. Perhaps more dangerous than fear is the (usually male) attitude that anything this big has to be fun to drive. Besides, look at those trumpet horns!

Having decided that it is possible, if not actually pleasant for you to operate the beast, you are free to move on to the advantages of having your own home-on-the-road.
     1: You can stop and use the potty without trying to find a "clean" (shudder) restroom.
     2: You can pull off at any (substantial and uncrowded) parking lot and have lunch.
     3: You don't have to sleep in motel beds that heaven knows who slept in last night!
     4: --- Ah, phooey; if you need more reasons, maybe you shouldn't be doing this!

Furthermore, the Spirit of Motorhome reaches out to the American icon of the footloose and fancy-free adventurer in many of us. Where are you? Why- you're HERE! Wherever it might be at this instant is home - if you are in a motorhome. As you gain experience in traveling a la rv, you will find that it is necessary to explain to friends and relatives why you are not especially interested in "park(ing) that thing and stay(ing) with us." We have worked out this response:

"Gee, thanks loads [whoever], but you have to understand that ByeWay
is our HOME! All of our stuff is here; clothes, beds, toothbrushes,
food and drink ... you know, just like you are at home, so are we -
- - in ByeWay!"
[Even if the motorhome is parked in their driveway.]

Some understand, some don't, others sadly shake their heads and look vaguely worried about our sanity. They'll get over it. And anyway, we are always willing to use house-peoples' potable and hot water, toilets and showers; which makes them feel superior and gratified. And saves our propane and tank capacities.
