Full-time and don't/didn't like it?

We stay in our trailer for 4+ months every year. During that time we have met many people who call themselves full-timers. Some live in their trailers year around in the same place others travel around. None of this appeals to us and we frequently get asked about when we are going to do this. My question is, are there many who try full-timing and don't or didn't like it? Surely we can't be the only people that have no interest in this lifestyle.

    You'd have to be near brain-dead to do anything that rash.

    we're very similar to the OP...typical snowbirds. we have zero interest in going full-time.

  • As with any activity there are those that absolutely LOVE it and those can't stand it/don't understand it.


    Golf.....
    Can't stand it or get into it at all.
    Whack a ball then have to go find it so you can whack it again.....hole after hole/all day
    'Cow Pasture Pool'
    But that is me............1000's love it and 'jones' for it.


    What matters is HOW you feel about it.
    Don't invision doing it...then don't.
    Why worry about 'others' ???


    We FTd for 7 yrs and would still be on the road IF life hadn't thrown a curve ball when it did......that was almost 6 yrs ago and still miss it.
    We TRAVELED.....weekly/bi-monthly and don't understand the 'parking'/Living in an RV (Snowbirds/Permanent Residents) BUT it works for them.
    TRAVELING worked for US.
