Finished full-timing

Hey folks;
DW and moi quit full time RVing about five years ago. I still miss being a winter texan along with side trips to Mexico and Flordia. But after 12 yrs. DW had enough. In short, medical reasons plus family priorities was the driving forces to quit. Just wordering why other ex full-timers also quit that lifestyle. :h
  • We started full timing in 1997 in class C. Working thru temps agencies doing maintenance work. Graduated to class A in 1999. Back to another better yet class C. Finally grounded to a house in 2009. During that time, we also did 48 states truck driving. In all we had 2 class C, 1 class a, and 2 travel trailers to date. My work was maintenance with side works of fixing trailers up. Now? Retired. Wanting to go back to full timing. Just taking trips 3 - 4 times a year now.
  • Family responsibilities resulting in a career change. I had a job that allowed me to work on the road, needed to come home because of family and health issues. Always kept a home base, so returning home was a simple trip back to park the 5th wheel. A few years later I down sized the rig from 44' to 29', I still like taking short trips.
  • 7 yrs FT then Life threw a curve ball
