Oh my gosh these posts are so wonderful and helpful! Like many have pointed out, and obviously for good reason, specifics of the kind of life-style a person wants to live are vital to have a realistic conversation about living on the road even if it's just for a few weeks at a time.
I wouldn't call it a poll, really. I kept my overall question very broad so I could get different sorts of answers from people who have had different experiences. I think that is what's most useful and helpful for people flirting with the idea of living on the road but don't yet have any real knowledge of what that means.
I'm thinking, part time full hookup usage and part time federal camp ground. As for usage I'd say long haul, but seasonal. Like, every summer for 10yrs.
I think one of the most important concepts that I'm seeing come up repeatedly is how much commitment it takes. Education, money, and time are all things you need to have in order to make it work. But if you know that going in and it's what you want to do, it seems like it can be wonderful.
Oh, and thankyou jmtandem for the great post and the awesome website suggestions, I'm definitely going to check them out!

1. HOW are you going to use your rv? Are you going to use private rv parks with full hookups available or are you going to use it to camp in state and federal campgrounds, or are you thinking you'll do some primitive camping with no facilities and no sewer, elec. or water? Are you going to use it seasonally or year round? This will help you determine size and model.
2. What is your budget, for buying an rv and for maintaining it and for the rv sites you will use? If you buy a used rv, are you savvy enough to pick out a good one or do you have a good friend who is?
3. Are you aiming for the long haul or for just a couple years?
