Challenges can be so complex with moving parts. I’m finding rv lifestyle to be exactly this. I maintain 2 vehicles with moving parts, a 30’ class A and a fiat 500. It’s what I chose to do with passion a year ago. Moving parts break. Problem? No. Solution. Peace, stillness required to assess, evaluate and execute the fixing of the thing. I’m confident in the process. There are only solutions. Isn’t that so?
