Economy helped us out the door although we had some notice..
Got the house in good shape, listed it in '07 as we saw the crash coming in Florida real estate values.
Had only dreamed of RV'ing and had never used anything but a tent!
So we sold the house at 1 st open house and moved into waterfront rental for 6 months to prepare to go on the road.
Did all the research without telling anyone our plans.
Above advice is very good. Get a mailing service, go paperless, get your internet at the cheapest cost for best service without a landline, look into
RV clubs/parks.
We bought a Thousand Trails membership which lets us camp free for x days a year and gives us discounts at other parks.
Research the best state to have your mail service because of tax situations, voting, Dr's. etc
*** as far as the closing on the house..if possession is the day of closing in your state, then staying for days after that creates issues. You are now a 'Renter' and will need renters insurance, and new owner will want to come do a check when you move out for damages etc... Be prepared to move that day even if there is an issue. Most transactions are fine if you have a good realtor keeping up on the details. I was a realtor for 20 yrs.**
