This is it! That's what made me think too! I only did one longer tour so far, 10 days, but since then the clutter at home really started to bother me even more. Bike touring is an eye opener, no kidding. I was happier during those 10 days than I have been in a while.
Yeah, couple of times I camped close to RVs and it just blew my mind. Why these people even bothered leaving their living rooms?!?
