Going Full-Time RVing Question

My vision is to pull up anchor any time I want and go any place “she” (motor home) will take me. Is my thinking just a fantasy and not the “true” reality of full-time rving?

Not a fantasy... reality! Hope you can do it. It's a fabulous lifestyle. :)

Your biggest question will be, Where to go next? How long to stay here?

The largest expense is fuel.

Full-time RV'ing means different things to different people. Broadly, it means when you say you're going home, you mean back to your RV, wherever it happens to be parked. That could be a seasonal site where you stay for the entire winter for example, before heading to a different location for the summer season. For others, it might even be one location year round. For many full timers though, it means just what you envision, turning the key and heading in any direction that catches your eye whenever the thought strikes you. In reality these days, it may be a bit more difficult if your destination is a popular one where advance reservations are almost mandatory, but there's almost always alternatives in the general area you're interested in.

Some of us mix it up a bit more by having a base location, either owned or long term rented, where we can hang out in between "trips" at times and take care of medical and other issues with professionals we're familiar with. Even then though, we continue to live in our RV home.

It means to you...whatever you want it to mean. Just enjoy, Coastie.

It's when your RV becomes your permanent home. My cousin and husband sold their stick and brick home and have been full timing for 4 years in their Allegro Bus. I recently asked if they were ready to go back to a 'stick and brick' home and the reply was no. They love living full time in their RV
