We're in the group that will never buy another stick home again.
But back in 2012, we had some major and minor issues to take care of on our Suite and we were wondering how much longer we might be full timing. Tire recall, stress fracture near bedroom slide and then lost 2/3's of the tread on one tire enroute from San Antonio to E. GA.
Besides being beat up traveling some of the crappy roads, we decided that as we age we may want to travel less after retirement in our current setup. So in July, we spent every weekend, trying to figure out which RV we'd want to downsize to in 4 years. We toured MH's, TT's, B's & C's and TC's.
But then we decided to spend a little extra now, get a new Suite and be more comfortable in pre-retirement and afterwards will take care of itself. So we put a new 2014 on order. We already bought the RV Lot we need for extended periods to refresh and we're still on track to get everything paid off by full retirement.
Then as things always do, they change. DH got a call to leave his MN project halfway through and head to a remodel. A little more cash in the paycheck, double the bonus, so we decided we must be doing the right thing.
