Is Full Time what you expected?
When we were weekend and vacation campers, I used to dream about full timing. We were lucky enough to get our chance seven years ago. Looking back, has is this lifestyle been everything you dream...

I guess I did enough research about other full-timer's experiences and what exactly I would need to do money-wise to support the lifestyle before I hit the road, that it really has been pretty close to what I expected it to be. There have been a couple surprises of course, but I kinda figured that would happen too.
The first six months were the hardest as I adjusted to being comfortable with myself and the vastly different social scene and how 'working' works when you travel (I'm young, and not independently wealthy so I still need to earn my living). The small living quarters and less "stuff" didn't bother me a bit, I never was big on Stuff anyway and only used a fraction of my shared apartment when I was living stationary.
The second six months were enlightening and quite frankly a blast. Now I'm heading into my second year and stoked for what the future might hold on the open road. :)
