"You don't indicate how much RVing experience you have but I can assure you that I would not sell everything until I knew that I would embrace the lifestyle and have a sort of clear path to ensure the lifestyle long enough to make selling some things worth the effort. Go for six months first before committing to any full time lifestyle changes. Full time RVing is not a vacation every day. It is living in the RV with many of the same living issues that you had living in a house without, of course, the house. Sure, you can move with the seasons, change locations, try out new places, etc. but you still have to do all the things that is part and parcel for basic living."
This is why I ask questions on the forum, as I always seem to miss or forget something. :)
We have been Camping/Rv'ing since 1986, started with a couple of tents, when a 23' TT to 28' TT (miss that Holiday Rambler) to a tent trailer and back to a 31' TT with two slides (just sold the 31" TT). Most trips were 3 to 4 days at a time with a couple of one to two week vacations. All trips out of town were great fun but too short.
We are now looking at 5er's in the 35 to 37 foot range. Just more space in the 5er's and the wife want the bigger appliances for full-timing or even long vacations.
