Not for us
Well, I’m sad to say I think my wife and I have decided that, after 6 months of full timing, it is not for us. Neither is living in a 55+ resort. We are in Palm Creek in Casa Grande, AZ. The park ...

My wife and I have been fulltiming and quite mobile since 2010 after buying our first motorhome in 2005. Until we scaled back in 2017, we were both putting in 40-50 hours week working online from our motorhome. In 2017 we decided to cut back to just a few select clients that took no more than 10-15 hours a week combined. Now that I'm a few weeks shy of turning 79, and my wife's health is failing, we've dropped all work and are just enjoying our travels while we still can. We're quite in agreement that we're not ready to hang up the keys just yet, but we know it's coming. Our "exit plan" is waiting for us in the form of our lakeside family cottage in the Southern Adirondacks near our two daughters.
The point of all this is that our first year fulltiming we questioned our decision to do it several times and almost quit a couple of times, usually after fixing some significant problem with our motorhome. Every time we sat down and weighed the pros and cons though, the pros came out on top. All these years later, we would not give up the many great memories and experiences along with some really fantastic friends we've made along the way for anything. I agree with others that fulltiming certainly is not for everyone, but we are very grateful that we didn't give in to the moment during that first year and give it up.
