On a recent discussion posted to iRV2 Forums, member Stripe34 asked full-time RVers: if you had to name one thing you miss the most about having a sticks and bricks house, what would it be?
The responses were all too accurate. Fulltimers said they miss:
8. How easy it was to send and receive packages

“Miss the most: A stable address to get packages sent to. I prefer to do most shopping online and timing delivery days with where I’ll be can be problematic. I was also a small time eBayer and would sell odds and ends when I no longer needed them. Can’t really do that as it requires boxes and shipping materials to be sitting around.” –RMD3819
7. Having their own washer/dryer…
“Miss ease of doing laundry, and no need to walk the dog in all kinds of weather 4 times a day.” – deandec
6. …And dishwasher
“I miss the dishwasher. Doing dishes by hand 2x a day stinks.” – mrgrayaz
5. The convenience of your own backyard (but not the yard work)
“Being able to let the dogs outside to the fenced backyard to do their business when I’m not dressed.” – southernlady
4. A reliable internet connection
“I miss good, fast, reliable, always on, no extra fees, can-stream-all-I-want-internet.” – jbrv
3. Long, hot showers
“Miss the most: More than six gallons of fresh hot water.” –1bigmess
2. Seeing friends and family often
“I miss seeing longtime friends on a frequent basis, relaxing in a private backyard with a hot tub.” – BillJinOR
1. Total privacy
“What I miss the most is our privacy. Accessible campgrounds and RV parks do not have any.” – Scottybdivin
