Thinking of Full Timing for a Couple Years
My wife and I currently have our Tennessee home on the market. We lived in Florida for almost 20 years and have family still there. We were offered better jobs in Florida and considering going back....

I've done a little checking in to Park Models and it may be a good option. I need to do a little more research though. Most of the park models I saw that seemed to be in good locations were also in parks for 55+. My wife and I are both 49. I'm sure with enough research I should be able to find a park that would accept all ages.
To expand a bit on my first post - we would probably go to TN 4-5 times per year. Probably long weekends with a couple week long trips. Another concern we are having about settling too quick in Florida is that we lived there for almost 20 years and at the time couldn't wait to leave. We aren't overly excited about moving back to Florida but the money is calling us. If we got there and decided that we just couldn't take it, we could up and leave with a RV. We have had a couple RV's in the past and lived in one for a month when we moved to TN. I know that is not long term but we adjusted fine for that time frame. We love to camp. Being a full-timer and being able to travel has been a long time dream. We aren't there yet since we don't have a big enough nest egg for us to feel comfortable being able to travel and be real full timers.
A big plus to us with the 5th wheel instead of a park model would be to have the camper when/if we settle in Florida and still be able to use it. We would lose money on either one, but the park model would really be of little use after we were done with it.
Thanks to all again for any comments or suggestions!
