The Airstream That Ran Away with the Spoon is, at heart, a delightfully-told memoir, but it’s also a guide to RV living as Mary learns about life on the road. Each chapter relates an important piece of information about how to live in an RV. Mary shares seven kinds of places to park and explains very important skills like how to dump your black tank uphill (learned the hard way). 

Mary talks about pacing herself due to her health and what happens when she doesn’t. She tells adventure stores and about journey decisions made including experiencing an evacuation notice. She gives tips for working while on the road–seriously remote working! Full-time RV living provides opportunities to people who do not fit well into suburbia for a variety of reasons, including disability, creating for Mary a new sense of success.
