Costs that go away, costs that stay

I think if you can keep your house and rent it out, you will be much further ahead in the long run. No one is capable of predicting the future but real estate is still a very viable investment. You can always rent a room or a floor if you need to make extra money. If you have equity, continue to let it grow. I am sorry but I think selling your house to buy an RV does not make good financial sense. Depeciation is very real. UNLESS your house is strangling you financially and it is not feasible to keep up your payments easily. It would be ideal if you could rent it out for a year or so and then re-evaluate after you have been on the road for a while. Let someone else make your payments if that is at all possible.
