Thankfully my 5W isn't fancy and there isn't much on it to go wrong. A separate bathroom and a proper bed were priorities for me, plus enough space for me and two energetic border collies! (And all my Viking/ren faire gear)
 
For me, living stationary, it's a 21 foot bumper pull, separate bath across most of the back, but otherwise open
i might want more if I had Buddy full time
On the road I might just go van with bucket lol
 
I've had a few long term jobs that I really liked and loved the people I worked with. So leaving is always bittersweet. But then you start a new job somewhere and make some new life long friends and you realize you'd never have met them and had the new experiences if you didn't leave the last and start to realize that's the way it was all supposed to work out. When it's time to move on it's time to move on, which sounds like you already had that figured out.

One of my favorite feelings in life if finding out what's around the next corner, and it just so happens that can also be one of the scariest things in life.

That's exactly me. I left home in England, with $70 in my pocket and a bag of clothes at 18 and got on a plane to the US. I've always been on the move like that...always looking for the next adventure, the next friends to make, the next incredible view to see etc...whatever that adventure is.

Same here.  Made my family nuts "why don't you settle down" "when are you going to quit roaming and get a real job" (apparently full time lifeguard didn't measure up, LOL).  

I'm so happy I picked that type of existence when I was younger.  As my ability to do physical jobs waned I slowly ended up in a sit down job with good benefits that felt like a prison, although I did meet some nice people, I still missed my roaming.

Now we're so close, we get to be done with the rat race, pick up a job as needed, and go back to meeting new fun people and seeing more of the world.
