How long to get ready?

Once you decided to FT - how long did it take to: decide what to take, store, give away, sell house, get insurance and all that stuff?

We put the house on the market in the early spring and didn't do anything until we had a contract signed by the buyers.

Then in about 2 months we sold a ton of furniture, moved the rest of our personal stuff and my business equipment to storage facilities, finished going completely paperless, changed our address, driver's license, vehicle/trailer's registrations, and all the other required stuff.

I still had a small contracting business for a few months of the first year we were full time. If we had both been fully retired I think we could have switched over to full time RV in about a month or less.
