Sitting here in my fifth-wheel starting the 2nd year of Full-timing. I remember just what you guys are going through. I just want to give you a pep talk, and say the means is well worth the end.
We sold it, gave it away, pushed it on the kids, Goodwill'd it, polished the house, and sold it too!
Now we don't have the heat of the South Texas summer, or the cold of Diluth, Mn. We summered in Alaska this past summer for 4 months, (bucket list thing), and wintered in Central coast California. Soon we'll be off to Northwest Washington to the banana belt, (have to look that one up). Give you a hint--Port Angeles area.
And like the "Old-Biscuit" said, if you havn't used it in 6 months, get rid of it. You will spend that much in fuel toting it around, and can buy or rent it again cheaper than keeping it.
So hang in there, and soon you'll be on the road saying, "Why didn't we do this 5 years ago?"
Good luck
