We KNEW we would NOT be returning to same area WHEN it was time to come off the road.
(Baldy Mesa....between Victorville/Phelan off 395)
We KNEW we would NOT want to deal with renting out house while we were on the road.......didn't what that concern
We KNEW we didn't want to pay storage fees while on the road.....$$ spent for stuff not being used.
We KNEW we would some day stop FT travel so we had an 'Exit Plan'
We bought truck/5th wheel.....loaded things we KNEW we needed, things we THOUGHT we needed and things we WANTED to keep
Told family then friends....come get what you want
Then had an Estate Sale and sold everything left.
Sold House and LEFT for a new adventure/lifestyle
7 wonderful/awesome yrs we got to travel all over the USA using secondary/back roads----seeing/experiencing this vagabond lifestyle.
Staying/traveling when/where we wanted to go.
Then life threw a curve ball.....so when are now back in a S&B (with FHU next to house) enjoying a different phase in our life (took a bit of 'transitioning' to say the least but it's all good!)
Everyone has to make decisions based on what is best for THEM
Even though we are no longer on the road we wouldn't change a thing......it was a fantastic 7 years that we got to do/enjoy/experience.
Good luck.......and best wishes.
This is the model that my wife and I will probably implement when we retire in a few years. I like the idea of cutting ties with where we've been living for 30 years and roaming the planet for a half a dozen years or so. Being unencumbered from a home and dealing with a rental is a liberating thought. Thanks for putting this so succinctly Old-Biscuit.
