Default Quilting in a Camper or RV?

My dream is to RV full time and quilt around the country. Is there a group of quilters on here for that?

I don't think there is. I RV and camp but not full time. My sewing machine and supplies go with me constantly.

I usually have hand projects ready. I do have an sew ez table and a featherweight that I sometimes take that I set up outside under the awning. Sometimes I do use it inside but not really comfortable cause our camper is only 21 feet. We may be buying a bigger camper to do more extensive traveling when hubby retires next year. Planning on leaving out the dinette area for sewing area. We camp so much in rustic campgrounds so hubby has to set up the generator for electricity for the sewing machine.

I am at Northpark Campground in Harbor Beach, MI from May 1 thru Nov 1. PM me if you're in the area and I'll let you know what site I'm at. We can be sewing pals while you're in town. Harbor Beach is in the north-eastern part of the Thumb.

I am in my RV for 4 months in the summer. I do not quilt unless it is a table runner or something small. I do cut out everything I am going to make while I am gone. Then I take machine and notions with me. I works out just fine.

That would not be fun for me. I am not a camper, Husband isn't either.

I think it would be great to RV once retired, but hubby isn't too keen on the idea. Oh well, we have plenty years yet to discuss it! I guess it because I love America and want to see it all!
