Couple of general responses1) Had a small camper in the past was our weekend getaway. Now have a full size truck (Tundra) to pull2) Plan on a 32’ toy hauler so we can take kayak and motorcycle3) Navy Federal is our bank and has been since 1988. After leaving the Navy in 1998, haven’t had a local branch nearby. Used to it. You get cash back when you get groceries.4) I’m familiar with wiring. Have an RV surge / tester thingy. The part that really sucks is wasps will build a nest in the camp power boxes and you don’t know it until you open it and get stung. It’s happened multiple times.5) The back up thing, my wife is horrible at giving directions. Then she gets frustrated, which makes her angry. I usually ask someone at the camp to help direct. Otherwise, I plan to have bluetooth cameras on the camper so I can also see.6) Not sure how refrigerator will be because technology changes and about 3 years out from buying. Otherwise will do it old school. Iced coolers to transfer food into for longer drives. Shorter drives, ice packs in the refrigerator.7) The close encounters when passing each other is what makes it the best situation possible. I actually try to keep an eye out to see when she might start to move, then go over to where I think she might be heading, then… when she heads my way, I start heading back to encounter her in the tightest point. I’m pretty certain she knows I do it on purpose. But… that’s one of the reasons we have been married for over 30 years.
My wife will still be working when I retire but can work remote at times. So we will probably get a camper with hotspot and stay at parks. I can hike during the day while she is working.
My wife could have done better but she’s still here, 31 years later.
