techwrite, appreciate your comments,your points are right on for some individuals who are full timers, but I still disagree since the article is not correct for all, or even most full timers.
Me.
Truckcamper, yes.
Class C, yes
Travel trailer, yes.
All of the above, yes.
I have had them all, I am not a full timer, but am close.
I'm not sure the article was specifically only talking about a brand new large class A morothome. Many full timers are in smaller rigs, vans, truck campers, small trailers, cargo trailers. They do what works for them.
There are things to consider and cost to consider, but the writer of the article left a lot to be desired. I hope you were not the author.
To say that all full timers fall under the outline of the article was disproven by what I wrote. It is only necessary that some fulltimers are like what I wrote, not all. If some full timers can get 24 mpg in their sprinter van, then they get pretty good gas mileage for any vehicle on the road. If some don't have health insurance then this is not even an issue for them. If some tow a 5th wheeler then they have an easy to drive rig (I have gooseneck which is even easier), Rvs can be cheap or expensive, it depends on how much you spend and how much that money spent means to you.
A different issue is upkeep on an RV, but again, this is rig dependent - a trailer may need little to no upkeep. A new truck may never need repairs, but an old anything might break down all the time.
Putting some stuff in storage my drain your wallet $25 per month, but that mortgage could be $2,500 per month.
So, it really is all about individuals. Calling fulltiming expensive then going home and paying someone $45 to cut the grass every week…
My point is the article is wrong, poorly conceived and just not accurate for all full timers.
For you it may be spot on.
Boy, you must have a lot of time on your hands to research my post to make your point, lol. sorry this was important to you, I thought the article was a joke
