Interesting read. Got me to thinking if there was ever a time in my life, when the lifestyle of BKA, would have fit me. Don't believe so. My wife and I tried fulltiming, for 2 1//2 years in a Class A and didn't care for it. But our needs and wants have changed over the years, as I am sure BKA's have done. His setup fits his current needs and wants and may forever or may change in 5 or 10 years. None of know where we are headed it seems.
BKA has some unique circumstances that most full time TC people have. One is he appears to be single, as are most, I have met. He has a nice retirement income, is still young enough to safely be out in the woods by himself, LOL. I am sure there are some couples that full time in a TC, but I have never met any, in our travels. Lots of full timers but not in a TC. I enjoy traveling solo at times, but if we tried to full time in our TC, I suspect my wife would do me under, and tell God, that I slipped and fell off the cliff. LOL
It is really great when a plan comes together, like BKA's seemed to have for him. Since I am also a Colorado LEO, (POST Comm certified), I can understand his wanting to get away from the "people" at times and just kick back. He reminds me of some of the old mountain men, type guys I have known in different places, but most lived in cabins, or a tent, or some other shelter, instead of an RV.
