We had always thought we'd be live aboard boaters when I retired. (Full disclosure, we started a business in 2003 figuring it would be a 'retirement biz', and I was able to retire from public education at age 50 in Dec. of 2010). After doing the research for a few years, we decided that full time RV'ing would be a better option -- see more places, less expensive, not as weather driven.
In 2006, we bought a TT and pulled out every June came back every August trying to get a feel for the lifestyle. The more years we did it, the more years we stretched both ends of it. Knew that it was going to be the right thing for us. We designed the business (travel agency) to be one that could be fully internet, cell phone driven and that was a part of our planning. Even though now my wife has some health problems that is keeping us tethered to a winter and a summer place, no regrets.
