I need a reality check
Hi full timers, I apologize in advance for the large post! I have dreamed about this lifestyle since I was a kid. Now I'm in a position where I might actually be able to make it a reality in the...

We're relatively new full-timers, but a couple of points I'd look at based on our short experience to date:
* Having only a cycle to get around....We haul our motorcycle in our 5ver Toy Hauler, and do use it a lot, but there have been plenty of times in the last 6 months where we had to use the truck for local errands. Not having a "cage" option may not be optimal. YMMV.
* Internet - we've found it spotty and bandwidth relatively slow in most of the places we've been. We already used our personal hotspots for financial dealings, but now use it almost exclusively where in our current location.
With that said, we're retired and chose this lifestyle for many of the same reasons you expressed. Being able to see the country, change our minds and move when and where we want on a minutes notice, and meeting new people has been a blast. We plan to continue for many years to come. Good Luck!
