I want to be a Gypsy

Living with my mother and then in March moved in with my MIL has gave me a whole new appreciation for MY household. I took it for granted before. I had forgot what it's like to live with other people and not be the "Top Mom" of the house. I keep looking on Craigslist at RV's for sale. There are a lot of them around here and for what your buying it's actually pretty cheap. Problem is we have two cars that wouldn't pull them.

I've told DH that I'd love to sell one car (IE The crappy car he bought earlier this year that I hate and wish he'd never bought), and try to get a truck to pull a camper with. DH has a collection of Kiss and Comic books that is well over 2K. Maybe we could find someone to trade.

I just really want out of this house and into our own space again. I think living like a Gypsy could be fun! Hell and maybe it would unplug us for a bit and get us into doing something more nature like. DH hates fishing and camping but I love it.

I see this as an inexpensive option but I think DH thinks I'm just joking. I'm really not! Though camping in winter might not be the best of options, it would certainly work!

What do you think? Doable solution or am I crazy?

2. What do I remember as most exciting about Samhain/Halloween as a child?

As a child Halloween was always my favorite holiday. It still is today. The most exciting thing for me then was getting to go TOTing with friends without parental supervision. It didn't happen often, so it was a treat. Of course this was a very small town and before there were razors in treats and other nasty illegal happenings going on. Every year I dressed up as a Witch or Gypsy (GO figure). I had about 5 friends that I regularly hung out with and we'd stick together as we walked all over town getting bags and bags of candy. We would have to come home and dump candy out and then go out for more. This was also before curfew as well. Stopping TOTing at 8pm was unheard of. By 8pm it was just getting good! Everyone also handed out candy and decorated their houses. Adults dressed up themselves. There were no streets that were dark and secluded. And if you dared to not hand out candy your house ended up with eggs and toilet paper on it! The whole town was lit up with orange and other various bright colors. I loved all the decorations!
