Small but livable

 
I posted this picture a couple of days ago making the point that many live in rv's that are fairly economical and seem to do very well. There are two units like the one below that are parked next to each other and I learned today both are from Ontario, Canada.  My guess is the units are 12 ft long and 7 ft wide and maybe 6 ft tall at the highest point.  Two years ago during our travels around the southeastern U.S. we ran into a couple in January who were in northern Alabama traveling back to Ontario in a unit smaller than the one below because they were unable to get a spot in the Gulf State Park campground for the winter.  One thing that can expand your living space significantly that many do in this park is to set up a screened room.  We have a 10 X 10 nylon screen room set up on our patio with a picnic table and tv in it so we can use it in addition to the 5th wheel.  Some parks allow this and some don't.
