We had a new home construction business and in 2003 had purchased a class A to have as a "mobile office" in a subdivision where we were building because it seemed better than renting an "office trailer." We took it on a couple weekend trips and when it was no longer needed as a "mobile office" we sold it. I was not all that impressed with the "RV Life" at that time because we were traveling in planes when we would go anywhere due to time constraints with working. Then came the economic "downturn" and we lost almost all of our earthly belongings. We had worked almost all of our adult lives building a reputable business and lost it all due to the economy. Needless to say, we were devastated. We were in our late 50's, no jobs, no insurance, almost no money. Well, after much soul searching, we decided to get off that ledge and I took a job I hated and my DH was trying to get a job also but at that time was almost possible. We started researching the RV fulltiming lifestyle and decided for our sanity we had to give it a try. We jumped in with all 4 feet, we were on the road for 1 year and worked at a wonderful RV resort in WY and at Amazon. Then I was getting cold feet because we didn't have health insurance and because of our ages we thought maybe it would be more prudent for us to go back to our hometown and try to get jobs again. We have regretted it since. We have been back working for 2 1/2 yrs, miss the RV lifestyle so bad, and will be going back out fulltiming in March 2014 and this time will not look back. We've seen both sides and know where our hearts are.........on the road.
