What I Miss About Living in a House

We have lived in the fifth wheel for 2 months now.  Although I love the adventure there are things I miss about living in a house.

  • Long, hot showers - In a camper the water heater is small and doesn't get as hot.
  • Kitchen prep space- Making a good size dinner takes every inch of counter space
  • Bigger refrigerator - Camper refrigerators are much smaller. 
  • Privacy - This doesn't mean privacy in general.  This is our code word for needing to use the restroom and not wanting everyone to hear us so they must leave the camper.
  • Steady temperature - The temperature seems to fluctuate quite a bit.  Maybe it is our particular camper...I don't know.
  • Thick mattress - Our mattress is pretty thin, even with a pillow top cover on it.
  • Laundry not shaking the house - When I do laundry the loads always make the camper shake just a little bit but it is still noticeable.
  • Not having to explain my choice of home - In a house nobody asks you why you live there, whereas in the camper we get asked why we live in a fifth wheel often and then we have to explain it and it can be uncomfortable and sometimes embarrassing.
  • Normal plumbing - The camper requires work in terms of the septic. 
  • Water pressure - This may not be the case in all cases, but the water we are hooke up to is a light spit at best.
Overall, living in the camper is amazing.  It is an adventure that we are happy to be a part of however we do miss some things about living in a house.
