Here's an example of what I said about the American way of motorhoming.

At times I search for videos about motorhomes, since we want to move into one, because I want to know about how much solar we may need, how to do some stuff, maintain, etc.. And I search in English despite being in Europe, since that's the relevant language I know despite almost no EU country officially speaking English. Anyway, so I want to see info about motorhomes in Europe. But searching in English it will find mostly videos from USA about motorhomes....and that's a different world...

This video I saw recently - Full-Time Freedom in a MINI Class A RV – A/C AND HEAT with 2000W of SOLAR! youtu.be/8YSqwLK8fsY

This is a MINI motorhome hahaha. Mini in American terms means 8 meters long. We were looking at buying a medium size motorhome in EU no longer than 6 meters. 8 meters is HUGE. And this one even has "expandable" walls, or whatever you call those:

On top of this it has 2000W of solar panels....my lord! I was thinking we may need a max of 400W for 2 people, and this woman has 2000 for 1 person. And she has around 6000Wh of battery storage, that's some 20 times more than what we probably would need...

She was even like "it is a baby motorhome...you can even park it in normal parking spots"....I guess so in America...

And at the end of the video she's like "oh yeah and I'm also towing a 4x4 pickup truck"...

hahahaha

My god...if that's living "small", then....

She even has a HUGE tent that she puts up while camping haha.

If you put that setup, a 8m motorhome plus towing that huge car in Europe, on any road, you'll probably get stuck. Americans live the big life. Big cars, big motorhomes, big fridges and homes. Big people. Statistically it's true.

Even if I had a ton of money I would never go for this lifestyle. We love a small motorhome, a few things, and the ability to feel free-er.

The consumerism world creates wasteful people who are too attached to their stuff. Consume too much, waste too much. Enjoy too little I feel like...

Look at this monstrosity youtu.be/8YSqwLK8fsY - and I'll leave you with this...insane...
