JD Seller, you mentioned a first wife...is there a second wife now? Is she the one interested in the RV life?
I'm going through something like that now. During my first marriage we bought a farm, horses, trucks and trailer to haul them, chickens, etc. Then we got divorced and I minimized things. Still have the farm, my two Belgians and two ponies.
My second wife now wants the "farm life", with her own horse, chickens, etc. But I'm not in my 20s anymore, I'm in my 40s. And I have a different job now where I have a loooong drive to and from work. I can barely get the hay made in the summer. Understand that my wife is a wonderful person, but doesn't seem to get that animals are WORK. And frankly, I'm not interested in taking on more work. If she wants to have them, great, I'll 'help', but the onus is on her. Basically, I think she's jealous of the life I had with my first wife, and she wants something similar.
And shouldn't she have some of that? After all, I didn't sell the farm and move to town. I didn't get rid of MY horses. In fact, when courting my current wife, I used the farm as a selling point! So I have to compromise. But - lessons learned from my first marriage - I will NOT be the sole 'caretaker' for her animals. I will help, but so will she. Or we will get rid of them. I hardly ever said 'no' in my first marriage, and I think that had a lot to do with it's unravelling.
Maybe my rant had nothing to do with your RV rant. But it seemed similar.

Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
