67 days until I move:
Something I discovered rather quickly was not all RVs come with all of your necessities.
You need a fresh water hose. This is to fill your fresh water tank or to connect to city water when you’re plugged in at a park. I purchased this bright blue 25 ft hose with a storage bag.
You need a sewer hose kit. Having a bag and a place to store it is really helpful on travel days. The Camco Rhino is considered a number one purchase among the RV community. The see through elbow at the end lets you know how your tanks are looking!
A water filter is a must! Cleaner water for dishes and hand washing and for showers. This is made specifically for RV hookups so I decided it seemed like a great option. It also claims to be for fresh drinking water but I purchased a separate filtered water contraption for that that I keep in the fridge so I can save money and not buy bottled water.
A dehumidifier is another important purchase, remember moisture is the enemy. RVs are not insulated like houses or apartments. I purchased a small table top one but I plan to buy a second one as well as some smaller rechargeable ones for spaces that don’t get a lot of airflow.
RV showers don’t always have a lot of space. Nor do they come with decent shower heads. The first few things I picked up the day I signed my papers was tank treatment packs, RV safe toilet paper, and a new shower head! You can’t just attach any shower head to the RV shower. It needs to be specifically made for an RV but you can get a nice one! While we’re discussing space, the built in corner shelves are a nice start but I also purchased this inexpensive shower caddy that comes in a pack of two with a long super heavy duty sticky strip that they hook on to. And a eucalyptus plant because I’m a little boujee. Lol Obviously this isn’t really a necessity. But I figured this was a good post to share it with!
Another purchase I made for the RV, this slim laundry basket. I’ve used this one before and it actually holds a decent amount of laundry!
I have pets that will be living full time in the RV with me. In case of an emergency where I was not home, I wanted someone to know that they were in there so they could hopefully be brought to safety! These decals are now posted on four of my windows and they’re easily placed and easily removed!
The last two items that I bought for the RV and two of my favorites, adhesive paper towel and toilet paper roll holders! They stick on to the surfaces in the RV and saves counter space and floor space!

Going through boxes as I settle in our new home. My son and I have been free from abuse for 20 months. It's been an insane ride. We found ourselves homeless in a state away from home, we were taken in by a domestic violence shelter.
At least I got some pretty jewelry out of it. He gave the upgraded ring to me in Savannah, Georgia. Our son was months old, and we were vending a booth at an upscale expo. He purchased it from one of the vendors.
I love it. Every bit of it. It makes me so happy. This is not what my husband thinks. My husband thinks it is dissatisfying to me for one reason or another, namely (as I am now discovering I may be neuro-divergent) that I am not good at showing emotions of happy and satisfaction. I also recently learned that I have an abnormal serotonin production. This explains why I've been melancholy my life thus far.
I remember this beautiful night fondly. We took the fairy across the water. Husband, wife and, new born baby, all snug in his carriage. We were just strolling through downtown Savannah. There was a sax 🎷 player on the street, he played the most perfect song: baby shark(we actually love it!). We laughed and giggled. I might have even stolen a soda that night to make it on the fairy. Oops.
And then, in the RV something ugly happens. Yelling/screaming. We're both really bad about letting things go. Tensions increase quickly.
I have been across the country with my husband, and we have countless stories like this. We were pregnant with our son. I wanted the adventure. He gave it to me. It was spectacular. Sadly, my husband is not satisfied with my 'happy output'. For him, the trip was in vain.
Anyway, at least I got some pretty rings out of it!
Fun fact: Mystic Topaz is also about domestic violence?? Look it up!
Anyway, life is funny. I chose mystic topaz. Maybe I chose the abuse too?
All I know is, now we are free from abuse. We are alive, thriving, and smiling more than ever!

Hello and welcome to my new blog Calliope’s Compass 😁
I’m so excited for you all to join me on this new journey.
My name is Molly and my new travel trailer is named Calliope! I live in Florida with my senior Dog, Riley who is currently 10 and my senior Cat, Laveau who is currently 7. They’re joining me on this journey so it will be an adjustment for all of us.
I’m absolutely brand new to RV living. I go full time starting July 1st and I’m going to share my experiences, pictures/videos, successes, and fails with everyone here.
For a while I’m going to stay with my current job and I’ll be somewhat stationary, learning the ins and outs, the do’s and do not’s, the maintenance and upkeep of RV life (because there is a LOT). But eventually I am going to move on to traveling either with a remote position or traveling in my current career. I’m a Certified Surgical Technologist and a Certified Sterile Processing and Distribution Technician. I work in the OR and while I LOVE what I do, it doesn’t offer me very much freedom. (And I don’t even take call! I work Monday through Friday!) but by the time I get home I’ve been gone 12 hours and by Saturday I’m dead tired. I love that I get to help people and that I get to be a part of safety and protection for all of the patients that I see every day and I don’t plan on giving that up completely. I worked entirely too hard to let my skills or my certifications lapse. There has to be just the right option out there. I’m going to find it!
T-Minus 68 days until I move in! In this first post I’m going to share with you the first FIVE things I learned while in the research phase. Now let me preface by saying I’ve had A LOT of help getting started on this journey.
The first thing I learned while researching Full Time RV Living is that finding a long term spot in Florida is much more difficult than I ever imagined! Everywhere I’ve called is fully booked or has a year+ waiting list. So where am I going to end up? I have no idea. My first booking is for 3 months. After that I’m parking in a family member’s driveway for two days before we take a family trip to Ocala so I can wander through the Ocala National Forest for my birthday and spend some much needed time with my family. Not to mention, more practice driving while towing Calliope! And after that.. I’m still working on it. Florida is also always a mandatory evacuation zone for RVs and usually mobile homes during a storm. So there is a lot to consider when it comes to location! However, it’s really a cool option that I can just pack up my entire home and take it with me.
My second discovery—you can’t have AC unless you’re connected to power! That sounds like a basic knowledge statement, but I have solar panels and a battery and the electric will turn on the lights so I didn’t know you still needed power. I guess that’s why it’s sometimes referred to as boondocking when you’re not plugged in. You have a nice comfy bed but no AC. Running water but that runs out quickly because the tank is only so many gallons. (speaking of comfy beds… A lot of RVs come with a thin mattress that not even Satan would sleep on. Lol it’ll be an immediate upgrade for sure. Thankfully, my current mattress is coming with me!)
Three: the maintenance and upkeep on an RV to keep it in good shape is a LOT of work. There’s weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual upkeep and maintenance required to keep everything running smoothly. Everything from just a weekly inspection of the interior and exterior seals, to sanitizing and flushing holding tanks, to AC coil cleaning and wheel greasing (because apparently that’s a thing). Oh, and emptying a black tank which is where all of the… unmentionable waste ends up. 😳
The fourth thing I have learned… moisture is the enemy! Dehumidifiers and Damprid will be one of my best friends!
And number five, DDO—Downsize, Declutter, and Organize. RV living offers a lot of interesting ways to store things but the space is minimal! I have a storage area under my bed, I thankfully have a large RV closet, a washer and dryer closet, a large pantry, and another storage section under my couch! plus some large drawers and cabinets. But the amount of things I have in my current home won’t all fit. So I am downsizing and decluttering and organizing. Not to mention everything you tow adds weight. The more weight, the bigger towing power you need. There’s an entire formula that I don’t understand at all. And you can only add so much. You also don’t want too many breakable items because whenever you move, things inside the RV also move! I’m looking into reusable plastic plates.
I hope you have enjoyed this first post so far! There could be more to come for this one!
Editing in progress because I’m just starting out! This may eventually also become a vlog! Patience please 🙏🏻

How to Choose the Perfect Paint Colors for Your Travel Trailer Renovation
Are you planning a travel trailer renovation and feeling overwhelmed by the prospect of choosing paint colors? Whether you're aiming for a sleek modern look or a cozy vintage vibe, selecting the right paint colors is essential to achieving the desired atmosphere in your mobile home. In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of choosing the perfect paint colors for your travel trailer renovation.
Consider Your Overall Design Theme
Before diving into specific paint colors, take a moment to consider the overall design theme you want to achieve in your travel trailer. Are you going for a minimalist, Scandinavian-inspired look? Or perhaps you prefer a rustic, farmhouse style? Your chosen design theme will influence the colors you select and help create a cohesive aesthetic throughout your renovation.
Assess Natural Light and Space
Next, evaluate the natural light and space available in your travel trailer. Natural light can significantly impact how paint colors appear in a space, so it's essential to consider the amount and direction of light in each area of your trailer. If your trailer has limited natural light, you may want to opt for lighter paint colors to brighten and open up the space. Conversely, if your trailer receives plenty of sunlight, you can experiment with bolder or darker hues.
Think About Visual Flow
When choosing paint colors for a small space like a travel trailer, it's essential to think about visual flow and continuity. Selecting a cohesive color palette that flows seamlessly from one area to the next will create a sense of harmony and spaciousness. Consider using variations of the same color or complementary hues throughout your trailer to maintain visual consistency.
Embrace Neutral Base Colors
Neutral colors serve as an excellent foundation for any travel trailer renovation. Shades of white, beige, gray, and taupe provide a timeless backdrop that can easily be paired with bolder accent colors or changed over time as your style evolves. Opting for neutral base colors on walls and ceilings will also help create a bright, airy feel in your trailer.
Add Personality with Accent Colors
Once you've established a neutral base, it's time to inject personality and character into your travel trailer with accent colors. Accent colors can be used sparingly on cabinetry, trim, furniture, or decorative accessories to add visual interest and create focal points within your space. Consider your design theme and personal preferences when selecting accent colors – whether you prefer vibrant pops of color or subtle, muted tones.
Test Samples in Your Space
Before committing to a paint color, it's crucial to test samples in your travel trailer's environment. Paint colors can look different under various lighting conditions, so it's essential to see how they appear in your specific space. Paint small swatches of your chosen colors on different walls and observe how they look throughout the day under natural and artificial light.
Consider Practicality and Maintenance
When choosing paint colors for your travel trailer renovation, don't forget to consider practicality and maintenance. High-traffic areas like entryways, kitchens, and bathrooms may benefit from durable, easy-to-clean paint finishes that can withstand daily wear and tear. Additionally, lighter paint colors may help conceal scratches and scuffs better than darker hues, making them a practical choice for mobile living spaces.
Seek Inspiration from Nature and Design Trends
Drawing inspiration from nature and current design trends can help guide your paint color choices and keep your renovation feeling fresh and contemporary. Whether it's the serene blues of coastal landscapes or the earthy tones of the desert Southwest, nature offers an endless array of color palettes to inspire your travel trailer renovation. Similarly, keeping an eye on design trends can help you incorporate modern and stylish paint colors into your space.
Trust Your Instincts and Have Fun
Above all, trust your instincts and have fun with the process of choosing paint colors for your travel trailer renovation. Your home on wheels should reflect your unique personality and style preferences, so don't be afraid to get creative and experiment with different color combinations. Remember that paint is a relatively low-cost and easy-to-change element of your renovation, so don't hesitate to take risks and explore new possibilities.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, choosing the perfect paint colors for your travel trailer renovation in Michigan involves considering your overall design theme, assessing natural light and space, thinking about visual flow, embracing neutral base colors, adding personality with accent colors, testing samples in your space, considering practicality and maintenance, seeking inspiration from nature and design trends, and trusting your instincts.
With careful planning and attention to detail, you can transform your travel trailer into a stylish and inviting home on wheels that reflects your unique taste and personality.

Dear friends, you always followed my instructions when I was with you. And now that I am away, it is even more important. Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear. For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him. Do everything without complaining and arguing, so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people. Hold firmly to the word of life; then, on the day of Christ’s return, I will be proud that I did not run the race in vain and that my work was not useless. But I will rejoice even if I lose my life, pouring it out like a liquid offering to God, just like your faithful service is an offering to God. And I want all of you to share that joy. Yes, you should rejoice, and I will share your joy.
