Anyone have regrets about having gone full-time?

Zero regrets. Been fulltiming since December of 2010. Don't miss the house, the yard, the neighbors, the anchors.

we are into our 10th year and thinking of going back to a fixed location. Problem is we have the MH that has to go before we can have the funds to settle. One of the biggest problems we are facing and I would guess others are, are the prices are going up faster than our income. We had not planned for the downfall of the economy and after loosing one full retirement income we have to workcamp. Paying workcamp jobs are getting harder to find since many people (settlers) are living in campgrounds and will work for site.

We are not full timers but I'll throw my thoughts out. As said above you have to have a plan B. Thats probably where people get in trouble. I always think of things in a way that let's me have an exit or plan B. If I dont have it, I dont do it. If I dont have the money in the bank I won't put it on a charge card so to speak. It all comes down to money. Retirement, sick of working, sick of dealing with morons all are stressful, emotional things that we want to escape from but not at the risk of landing in possibly a worse situation.

We have been fulltime almost 2 years are still loving it, for us it is a much lower stress lifestyle.
We probably have added years to our life's.
One point that was made in a previous post is having an exit strategy, at some point we will not be able to Fulltime and then what do we do.
We have a somewhat loose plan for that but since we are still working fulltime and enjoying life we will cross that bridge sometime in the future.
Right now we are living everyday like there is no tomorrow !!!

In 2010 we made the decision to leave Ohio for Florida and live fulll time in a 38 foot 5th wheel. Fully equipted with 2 a/c units, King bed, washer/dryer, flat screens, etc. etc. etc. We found a park that we love in Fort Myers Beach, small, simple and with the greatest neighbors that anyone would want. BUT.....After one season, a park model became available that was a little larger, great lot location and at a price we found we could not pass up. We bought the unit and in the last year have redone nearly the whole thing to meet our needs...new counter tops, sinks, faucets, appliances, flooring, etc., etc., etc..Luckily I have done most of the work myself but with such great neighbors, there is always someone to jump in and give a hand or offer advice. We got rid of the 5th wheel and purchased a Pleasureway Excel TS. We now have a base of operations in Fort Myers Beach and use the Pleasureway to explore. We just finished a 4,000 mile trip back up to visit in Ohio, the east coast and through Nashville and now waiting for our October trip to KW. It is great to keep that base of operations for regular necessities like doctors and dentists. This gives us both worlds. Our friends who live full time in RVs spend 6 months here in our park. They also have become more settled here planting some temp. roots and spending 6 months with their families up North. We did take a small loss on the 5th wheel. It is a tuff market out there for RV's. Down here in Florida there are a million of them to compete for the $$$ available. The fuel prices are a main concern if you are not going to shore up for any length of time somewhere. The next would be how much of the maintenacne can you do yourself. Repair shops are expensive and you probably will not have a close relationship with a shope where you are only traveling through. This is the right choice for us but may not fit all your needs or urges to travel. Hope this helps. Just ask any RVer and you will find they all want to help with insight and suggestions. Good luck. B safe, B happy, Go RVing !!!

No regrets. Just don't full time anymore. Full timed about 4 years. Too many hobbies that require a home base. Met many people on the road that sold everything and bought their RV. 10 years later their RV need to be replaced. They became out paced with inflation. They became stuck in run down RV parks that would accept their older RV. Or in addition had major health problems and couldn't get back into a stick home. In a few cases one or both had lost their drivers license due to medical issues. Met one RVer. His wife died and he just wanted to get back into a stick home but could no longer afford it. We got stuck in that park over night. Barking dogs, screaming rug rats. One night was all we could stand.

We RV. Maybe one to Three months then back home again. Then plan the next trip. We plan to always keep our home base. I am sure you will find many RVers that have RV'd full time for 10 to 15 years and still love it. That is what is so great. We can enjoy as much or little as we choose. No one size fits all. However, you need to sit down and think about everything. Hobbies, money, medical etc. Make a list of everything. Then decide what is best for you.
