Yes, most of us do not have 'regrets'. That said all of us had planned for the expenses of full timing. You need to be asking what the 'costs' of full-timing are! :CWhen I say we will have to work to support the journey, I mean for food, gas, and usual necessities....
I would strongly suggest that you look at the "Full-Time Forum" of this site and look into what the - financial - part of full timing entails. They can refer you to links showing the costs.
You will be mildly surprised/shocked what the average monthly costs of full timing are. :W
Really though you need to know this information 'before' you head out. It is compiled by seasoned full timers and in my travels have found it to be spot on. And most of us have fully planned for it.
Having to work to be able to Full-Time RV is counterintuitive.
Unless you want to spend your entire time trying to find free places and boondocking. Many will say that's how they RV and like it, me I didn't retire to spend my time having to look for free remote places to stay. And RV'ing that way will put 'you' out of the element of finding work to support your RV'ing which will be a vicious circle. Just saying.
Thank you for the advice and kind words. By the way I really like your signature. I did a bunch of research in the forum and on other websites like the van camping site. I think we can do it for about $1500 per month down to about maybe $500-800 depending on what I've seen on boondocker websites. Of course he sky is the limit with the hobby especially for those financing nice rigs and traveling often. Anyway I know most people wait till retirement to try the lifestyle. We aren't really sure about what is waiting for us in retirement and that is a motivating factor even if it is just for a year to try it.
