Your right, not a full-timer, at least not yet! We plan to be there about this time next year, possibly sooner, but we have been RVing since 1992 and camping forever.
We are currently seeking advice from realtors on selling our house. Most of the junk collected over the years is gone and when the house goes, so will the remaining stuff. We're on our way, tomorrow, to the Hersey RV show in Pennsylvania with the hopes of finding our full-timing MH. I think we already know which one, but it will be awesome to see it and walk thru it.
I started this thread to understand how most fulltime RVers seek out and get into campgrounds around the country. We always made reservations, because like you, we need to go back to work on Monday or after a week or two vacation. I still remember back in the 90's not having to make a reservation at all when we went for the weekend. It was great because if it rained, we didn't go or lose any money. Times have changed....
That sounds great. I'm very impressed that you've cleared out all the junk from your home in anticipation. I couldn't get my wife to commit 100% to that so we only sold about 80% of what we had.
I think you'll love Full-timing. You'll probably find that reservations will become a source of stress rather than a source of relief once you go full-time. It really cuts down on your flexibility. I guess it's only money, but it still pains me to lose a deposit on a reservation.
Of course, you'll always need reservations for popular places at popular times. That's just the way it is. Sometimes you can get lucky, but not always.
Although we are mostly in the No Reservation group we know full timers who can't move unless they have the next 90 days planned and reserved. Some even boondock on a schedule :) Just their style. We are more likely to wake up in the morning and ask "are we staying or are we moving?" and then think about whether to prep for departure or another day of doing whatever.
