Thanks Bob, I know what you mean about RV Parks. I've done both, I first boondocked outside Death Valley 20 years ago in late December at about 3,000 feet because that was the best temperature for the night, in a Honda Civic of all things. I've stayed in RV Parks both before and after that time.
Your logic is spot on, and you've always steered me back to boondocking. Not because I can't can think for myself, but because I can,,, and what you say just makes so much sense.
The one thing I can't get away from however is my health. Without going into a bunch of detail and a pity party, I just got out of the hospital for the second time in as many years. Currently confined to my bed for days now, if I where boondocking, I would need a RV park. With all the downsides, noise, expense, neighbors, crowded conditions, I would have access to water and sewage. Mostly I could be close to laundry and have food deliveries. And be closer to emergency services if something went wrong.
So having the ability to pull into a RV Park is always in the back of my mind, even if it's not the first choice.
With regard to IKEA; you don't have to make a purchase to take their ideas home with regards to living in small spaces. I don't like there "pressed wood products" however, if you moved into a larger space, all you need to do is add water to press wood furniture and it swells to twice its normal size,,, and your done. :s
