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 you tend to stay put?How do you get your mail?How do you acquire a campsite for months on end?What does a site cost per month?What are the things you miss about having a brink and mortar house?What advice do you have for a person thinking about becoming a full timer?

Why not start with a search and look at the Full Time RVinig forum?

www.rv-dreams.com is a good source for fulltiming information. The site belongs to a then early 40 year old couple that left corporate jobs to RV fulltime. They had never been RVing before. Lots of good info including financial details for every month they have been on the road during the last 10 years.First thing you need to do is become debt free if you haven't already.

My God people I am just talking in general, I am not asking for money. I am simply interested in how things work. That's all. Have you ever been interested in something so you read about it?

I don't need to be told to try it for a weekend or a trip. Ive been doing that for 40 years. I am simply interested in the lifestyle and looking to see how it works.

In 15 or 20 years,

Probably won't be mail as we know it, electronic only.

Site cost per month...maybe $4,000 a month for a no frills parking spot with hook ups.

Consumer fraud division might of shut down several RV manufactures.

People won't buy extended warranty's without reading the fine print first.
