3 Secrets to Living with Someone in a Pop-Up Camper


Sometimes it can feel stressful living in close quarters, let alone living with another being in a tight environment . The good thing is, it doesn't have to be. Here are our three solutions to living in a pop-up together without killing each other.

First we immediately address any feelings of discontent. We are mature adults and we treat each other with respect. Part of treating someone with respect is to be honest and communicate any discontent feelings before they get out of hand.

Second we both pull our weight in the chores that needs to be accomplished in order for our lives to run efficiently. In non verbal communication we chose the chores we are comfortable doing. We do not limit ourselves to those unspoken chores either. We both are readily available to help each other out if needed.

Third if we began to get annoyed it is time to take a walk. We walk at least twice a day, once in the morning and again in the evening. Sometimes we will have walks in between those times if we need to regroup. These walks are used to plan out our days and to get anything off our chest. It is also a great way to enjoy this beautiful world and get some exercise.

Pop-Up Campers VS Travel Trailers

Image
We are often asked if we will upgrade to a travel trailer. Or why we choose a pop-up camper for our adventure. The answer for us is pretty simplistic, to get closer to nature. The pop-up camper gives you much the same experience as tent camping would. It is however more convenient, most have a small kitchen sink, stove and refrigerator. They have a dinning area and your not sleeping on the ground. Travel trailers on the other hand are like tiny houses on wheels. I believe for us it would be to comfortable. I believe we would spend too much time in the comfort of a travel trailer and less time exploring nature. Not to say that as we age more we wouldn't get something more comfortable. I am going to say that at this time in our life the pop-up is the perfect choice for our adventure. It gives us all the comforts we need. We can fit her in tiny spots that would be difficult to fit a trailer. She is easy to tow, we can see all around her when on the road. Most of all she is home!

Help Becky

My daughter, Becky, has stage 3B-4A Squamous Cell Cervical Cancer. Becky just finished her third week of treatments and still has at least four week to go. Becky has been sick since early spring, she has been to the doctor several times with severe pain and heavy bleeding. At one point they removed three large blood clots and sent her home. Most often they just gave her medication to make her bleed more. Sept. 14, 2017 Becky once again found herself in the emergency room. This time the pain and bleeding was much worse. The doctor decided to do exploratory surgery to find out why she was hemorrhaging. They found a large tumor. They preformed a radical hysterectomy. She was told they were confident it was cancer. About a week later it was confirmed. Becky has since then had several bladder infections. Her bladder has dropped and is causing incontinence. Once she is done with treatments this will have to be taken care. Becky has treatments five days a week, Monday-Friday radiation.
