- DutchmenSportExplorerThere are lots of folks who get rid of everything and their only home is their RV. It's not a crazy idea at all. You will always be surrounded by nay-sayers. If you listen to "them" you'll never have a single new experience in your life, except watching on the Discovery Channel all the great places you'll never go to.
No, not a crazy idea at all. Go for it. Live your dream and don't listen to anyone that has negativity. If you want to be positive about this, then start surrounding yourself with "positive" people. Make your dream come true. You, and only you can live your life and only you can make your dreams reality! - ependydadExplorerMy wife, 2 kids, and I took off on a 1 year trip back in June 2015. 2 years in, we sold the house (we were renting it out at a loss). 3 years in, we returned and sold our belongings.
We are now 4 1/2 years in.
But, "rving for life"? I don't know. We'll do it as long as it stays fun and is practical. I don't think of much anything that I do as "for life".
But for now, it's fun and we're enjoying it. We'll keep it up.
No one can tell you if you're crazy or not. No one can tell you if you'll love it or not.
Will you be happy in a tiny house with limited stuff? Will you mind having to watch the weight of items coming in and going back out? Will you and your husband fair well in a tight space 24/7? Will you enjoy dealing with the public while work camping?
What's your why? Why do you want to live this life? - TenOCNomad1. Have an exit plan.
2. When I started FT I pretended that I had died. I gave away all the stuff to the people I wanted to inherit it and the junk I gave to Goodwill. - Old_DaysExplorer IIFirst Welcome. You have to say more about yourself and the RV you own.
- 2oldmanExplorer IIIf you promise to come back.
