As I consider full-timing, I think of so many things that I would miss about a house. Having my own plot of ground that I can call my own...having residential size rooms and kitchens....having a plac...

We are new to full-timing =skipped= We love it so far. We've spent 3 weeks in New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont and it is so beautiful in the fall. My biggest problem is family. =skipped= I am so torn between loving this life and traveling with my husband and staying close to home and helping my parents and spending time with our grand kids. Is this a problem for anyone else and if so, how do you deal with it? Our family is very supportive. The problem is all mine and I feel guilty and I feel like I am abandoning my family and I'm making myself crazy.
We are nearing the time to come off 'the road' ... think after years of being 'supportive helper to help everyone' it is hard ... time started slipping away for us and since our children/gr-children/gr-grandchildren are in two different states one in the East and one in the West.
And one family in Canada. With texting, Facebook, cell phones, etc. it is so much easier to keep in touch with family now than it was 10 years ago. We just tell ourselves that if we are REALLY needed then yes, we can go back to our home-base or to their places and stay awhile, then go back on the road. Yes, we have stopped for months to be there for some of the family. AND can always travel across the U.S. to see them with our mobile lifestyle.
We see ourselves 'settled' down in three years - either in a larger rv or an apartment .... don't know if this helped you or not.
PS: maybe I am more comfortable with our Lifestyle because in all these past years I have never had my children or grand-children tell me they felt guilty when moving across the U.S. away from where we live and they grew up. (hope this helps).
