For us it was just simple math. In the past two winter seasons we have spend over $14,000 dollars in traveling and RV rent expenses to be in Florida for the winter. If we can purchase a pool home and lock in annual expenses of around $10,000 a year, then it is only costing us another $3,000 a year to own a home down here.

So, you are no longer full time RV'ers. Nothing wrong with that except that you are now once again stuck in one place. The entire point of fulltiming for us this past 14 years has been FREEDOM. We can't imagine ever going to sit in another sticks and bricks ANYWHERE. Best of luck to you.

It was not an easy decision to go back into a stick and brick. Since going full time we have never saved so much money! We were taking our time and only covered a little over half of the U.S. However, the fact remained that we knew we would always be stationary in SW Florida between December and May in order to enjoy warm winter weather. Those 5 months of being at one RV resort, plus the expense of getting there, compared to purchasing down in Florida, was just the right financial decision for us right now.

We plan on continuing our FW traveling lifestyle between May and December until we have visited all, or most, of the U.S. I hope we don't miss the entire FREEDOM of being full time.....
