JD Seller, you mentioned a first wife...is there a second wife now? Is she the one interested in the RV life?
I'm going through something like that now. During my first marriage we bought a farm, horses, trucks and trailer to haul them, chickens, etc. Then we got divorced and I minimized things. Still have the farm, my two Belgians and two ponies.
My second wife now wants the "farm life", with her own horse, chickens, etc. But I'm not in my 20s anymore, I'm in my 40s. And I have a different job now where I have a loooong drive to and from work. I can barely get the hay made in the summer. Understand that my wife is a wonderful person, but doesn't seem to get that animals are WORK. And frankly, I'm not interested in taking on more work. If she wants to have them, great, I'll 'help', but the onus is on her. Basically, I think she's jealous of the life I had with my first wife, and she wants something similar.
And shouldn't she have some of that? After all, I didn't sell the farm and move to town. I didn't get rid of MY horses. In fact, when courting my current wife, I used the farm as a selling point! So I have to compromise. But - lessons learned from my first marriage - I will NOT be the sole 'caretaker' for her animals. I will help, but so will she. Or we will get rid of them. I hardly ever said 'no' in my first marriage, and I think that had a lot to do with it's unravelling.
Maybe my rant had nothing to do with your RV rant. But it seemed similar.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
