It takes courage to go off and live full-time in your RV, even

more so for a woman, I believe. Thoughts that can occur:

❖ Can I drive an RV?

❖ Is it safe?

❖ How will I meet people and experience a sense of

community?

❖ What do I do if I have a problem? Can I really sell everything,

give up my home and live in an RV?

Having a mentor, another woman who is living on the road

and who loves the RV lifestyle, can make the difference. She

provides you with a role model, someone to whom you can go

if you have questions. Think of her as a friend who has already

figured out the ropes.

Women who choose this lifestyle are strong and courageous.

They have bravely stepped into the unknown. They push forward

in spite of their fears, possessing the self-confidence to

know they will be able to figure things out as they go along

and deal with any problems as they arise.

The joy of the open road and their own personal freedom

are what matters most to these women.

Women Who RV and Their Kindred Spirits gives voice to women

who had the courage to follow their dreams and take the path

less traveled. These women are special and can be mentors to

other women who have thought of the RV lifestyle as an attractive

option but have not yet taken that step toward living it.

They are also role models for living your dream, whatever

that dream may be. It takes courage to step out of your old life

and try something new. These women did it in spite of questions

and fears. They found new adventures, new abilities, and—in

some cases—new lives as a result.

So can you.
