Questions for Full Timers
Someday in the distant future (15-20 years) the wife and I think we want to go full time in a MH. We have a few questions for the full times out there. How often do you travel? How long do yo...

We've tent campled for yrs and like you have been wanting to FT since around 2005 and won't for another 4.5yrs. We don't even currently own an RV because we both work full time and it wouldn't be used enough to justify the cost. We've been saving, saving and investing, reading lots and going to RV Shows. Been to Hershey, Lazy Days (which is a show in itself) and will probably go to Tampa 1-2 yrs before purchasing (short list may change but will pay cash on an Allegro Bus or an Entegra Anthem with tag). Suggestions only: Read these websites, iRV2 (they have manufacturers forums too), Escapees, TiffinRV (if considering a Tiffin motorhome), RV Forum, FMCA and Motorhome Magazines (if getting a Class A). Forums we follow: http://www.wheelingit.us/, http://lowestravels.com/, http://www.islandgirlwalkabout.com/, http://www.outsideourbubble.com/, https://ohtheplacestheygo.wordpress.com/. We've been adding to a spreadsheet/bucket list of well over 550 places to see and do which is easy to add to when finding something new of interest which will be of great use when going to a new state or area. We've developed a RV tips to remember word doc to review when time comes. Made a PDI checklist, pre flight/campground breakdown checklist, an RV parts list someone posted on iRV2 Entegra forum yesterday, an RV setup costs document and a budget sheet all of which will be updated when the time comes. SD was going to be our domicle until recent Obama care heathcare insurance changes made us now consider FL. Starting to shed stuff we don't use so it's easier later. I'm handy so currently upgrading the house so it sells fast and will use all the proceeds as a way to fund our exit plan.
We kinda know what we're getting into.... Now.... due to some earlier posts here.... someone will probably post that we're foolish or whatever... Oh-well. Fortunately we're both in great health and the remaining time will go fast. It's great to have a common retirement goal. Hope this helps. And in my humble opinion YOU"RE NOT CONSIDERING THIS TOO SOON.... geez.....
