Most of the time it's me, Maria who writes, but her husband J\u00f6ran sits in on the discussion. We are a couple of 50 plus, yes one more plus than the other, even newly retired!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We lived in a house outside Sk\u00f6vde that had been in my family for a long time. There was work, children, house and garden. The squirrel wheel. We longed to travel. My dream was to have a public bus again. As a child in the 1970s, my family and I travelled around Europe in a red one from 1968. Denmark, Germany, Austria, Italy, France and Switzerland. Dad had rebuilt it so we slept 2 adults and 2 children inside and during the day it was rebuilt so we had sofas and a dining area. Although I mostly lay and read Kitty books on the trip, the feeling of freedom and many nice memories remain.<\/p><div class=\"freed-grupp-i-blogginlagg freed-entity-placement\" id=\"freed-1334480412\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><div id=\"freed-slider-88752\" class=\"custom-slider freed-slider-1197343193 freed-slider\"><ul><li><div id=\"freed-2651399750\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/se.adria-mobil.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"adria-freedom-top-banner-588x158px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-toppbanner-588x158px.gif\" alt=\"\"  width=\"588\" height=\"158\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><li><div id=\"freed-1505578657\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ullbadden.se\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-300x81.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-224x60.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-18x5.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-433x116.jpg 433w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"158\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><script>( window.advanced_ads_ready || jQuery( document ).ready ).call( null, function() {var $freedslider1197343193 = jQuery( \".freed-slider-1197343193\" );$freedslider1197343193.on( \"unslider.ready\", function() { jQuery( \"div.custom-slider ul li\" ).css( \"display\", \"block\" );

A garden and an old house takes time, energy and money and we didn't want that anymore. Imagine clearing out! Reduce gadgets and window envelopes. The children were getting older and would soon not live at home anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That's what we did. We started clearing out the house and sold it. In 2014 we moved to an apartment while we continued to clean, store and organise things. In spring 2017, the day came when we handed in the keys to the landlord and became full-time, year-round residents in a motorhome. But stop now! Here we go the events a little in advance. Before that, we had managed to change a few motorhomes. We will tell you about that in the next post. Continuation follows!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Flyttkort.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Flyttkort-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-153682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Flyttkort-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Flyttkort-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Flyttkort-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Flyttkort-433x289.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Flyttkort-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Flyttkort.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_45ee78-ea:not(.this-stops-third-party-issues){margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_45ee78-ea ul.kt-svg-icon-list:not(.this-prevents-issues):not(.this-stops-third-party-issues):not(.tijsloc){margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);margin-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_45ee78-ea ul.kt-svg-icon-list{grid-row-gap:5px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_45ee78-ea ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap .kt-svg-icon-list-single{margin-right:10px;}.kt-svg-icon-list-items_45ee78-ea ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-level-0 .kt-svg-icon-list-single svg{font-size:20px;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-iconlist kt-svg-icon-list-items kt-svg-icon-list-items_45ee78-ea kt-svg-icon-list-columns-1 alignnone\"><ul class=\"kt-svg-icon-list\">\n<style>.kt-svg-icon-list-item-153680_306154-46 .kt-svg-icon-list-single{font-size:25px !important;color:#f81818 !important;}.kt-svg-icon-list-item-153680_306154-46 .kt-svg-icon-list-text mark.kt-highlight{background-color:unset;font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<li class=\"wp-block-kadence-listitem kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap kt-svg-icon-list-item-153680_306154-46\"><span class=\"kb-svg-icon-wrap kb-svg-icon-fa_readme kt-svg-icon-list-single\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 576 512\"  fill=\"currentColor\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"  aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M528.3 46.5H388.5c-48.1 0-89.9 33.3-100.4 80.3-10.6-47-52.3-80.3-100.4-80.3H48c-26.5 0-48 21.5-48 48v245.8c0 26.5 21.5 48 48 48h89.7c102.2 0 132.7 24.4 147.3 75 .7 2.8 5.2 2.8 6 0 14.7-50.6 45.2-75 147.3-75H528c26.5 0 48-21.5 48-48V94.6c0-26.4-21.3-47.9-47.7-48.1zM242 311.9c0 1.9-1.5 3.5-3.5 3.5H78.2c-1.9 0-3.5-1.5-3.5-3.5V289c0-1.9 1.5-3.5 3.5-3.5h160.4c1.9 0 3.5 1.5 3.5 3.5v22.9zm0-60.9c0 1.9-1.5 3.5-3.5 3.5H78.2c-1.9 0-3.5-1.5-3.5-3.5v-22.9c0-1.9 1.5-3.5 3.5-3.5h160.4c1.9 0 3.5 1.5 3.5 3.5V251zm0-60.9c0 1.9-1.5 3.5-3.5 3.5H78.2c-1.9 0-3.5-1.5-3.5-3.5v-22.9c0-1.9 1.5-3.5 3.5-3.5h160.4c1.9 0 3.5 1.5 3.5 3.5v22.9zm259.3 121.7c0 1.9-1.5 3.5-3.5 3.5H337.5c-1.9 0-3.5-1.5-3.5-3.5v-22.9c0-1.9 1.5-3.5 3.5-3.5h160.4c1.9 0 3.5 1.5 3.5 3.5v22.9zm0-60.9c0 1.9-1.5 3.5-3.5 3.5H337.5c-1.9 0-3.5-1.5-3.5-3.5V228c0-1.9 1.5-3.5 3.5-3.5h160.4c1.9 0 3.5 1.5 3.5 3.5v22.9zm0-60.9c0 1.9-1.5 3.5-3.5 3.5H337.5c-1.9 0-3.5-1.5-3.5-3.5v-22.8c0-1.9 1.5-3.5 3.5-3.5h160.4c1.9 0 3.5 1.5 3.5 3.5V190z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"kt-svg-icon-list-text\"><strong>READ MORE: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/en\/2021\/12\/husbilslivets-fortsattning\/\">Continuation of motorhome life -
