Greetings,My husband and I have been living aboard our sailboat since 2005 and have recently been talking about purchasing a travel trailer and splitting our time up between living on the boat and a rv. We are thinking this will give us more flexibility to travel away from the coast in the winter months and also explore some of the US that is not reachable by boat. I am wondering if anyone else has done this and if so how it has worked out? We would like to possibly spend a few months at a time in the rv and then return to the boat to take care of maintenance etc. If we did this the RV would become our land based home although I have to say that sounds odd I am hoping this would work as a alternative to buying a house or renting. Any thoughts?

Funny how timing is, we have been Rving for many years, and just recently began doing our homework on boating...We now have the Great Loop in our sights...Looking for a nice 40' trawler to divide our time between...

There's someone on the forums (I believe on this forum) who does just that - splits between an RV and and Albin trawler. I have sailed since the mid-70s and my late wife and I dreamed of living on a boat full-time. We didn't have a chance to realize that dream before she died, but I would still love to be able to do it (and my wife and I are now living full-time in our RV).Rob

There are several on this site that do what you are wanting to do. Hopefully they will respond to your request.I know that for myself I would love to live on a boat part time and travel on land other times. I guess that I never lost the love for the sea. Some have told me that I have salt water in my veins instead of blood. JMO

Exactly what we do and it's a great option.We are transitioning now. We are selling our US based boat and just bought a boat in Europe but are keeping the US based RV.See the maps below for the areas we've covered.If you have specific questions ask away.

Splitting your time between a RV and a boat?I don't think it can it get any better than that!Enjoy your travels.
