bka0721 some great points.
One thing that I always caution people is that if you own a house or condo and are thinking about hitting the road DO NOT SELL till at least a couple years into the adventure. I have heard from a few people that have sold houses that were paid for and now are regretting it as they found out that the new "lifestyle" was not worth it. Better to rent out or even just leave the place locked up for a while till you figure things out.
Or, if it is time for you to downsize and you are not sure what the next steps are going to be and going out on the road, in an RV, could be the perfect time to provide some reflection. Then, yes, sell the house/condo.
The latter point, was the path I took. My kids were grown, college was done and grandkids are on the ground and running. Their lives are so busy And I was not seeing them that often anyway, so it was time to go. The time they meet me out on the road is just, well, spectacular.
I put everything in storage and every 12 to 14 months I travel through my former home area and am slowly cleaning out the storage. I just don’t want to be 10 years down the road, with $20,000 worth of storage fees, for $6,000 worth of stuff, furniture and cars.
Having a plan to start getting on the road and an exit plan, for getting off the road, is a good way to begin your new life on the road.
Yes, don’t sell the home, or cut all ties until you really know for sure if this is the lifestyle that best works for BOTH of you. Don't be surprised if it takes a coup,e of years to come to this decision.
