Getting started for full timeing!

Well, We have begun our journey getting rearranged for selling the house after 14 years. Longest we have ever lived in one place. Guess being in the Air Force kept us moving a little bit.

We spent the day removing everything from the backyard shed, pulling stuff aside to give away, some to sell, some for our kids!

Everything will be easy to dispose of once we are ready to sell and go....checking things off our list.

Motorhome - bought and paid for, all arranged with everything for full time....

Shed - cleaned and ready!

List of last minute things:
full time insurance
address for full time

    Congratulations! The kids didn't really say much when we sold the house and told them what we were going to do. Two years and 26 states later they probably still think we are nuts!

    We love this lifestyle and can not really see an end in sight.

    We tried to fulltime before back in 1998...but after two years had a family situation and settled back down in 2001 to raise our nephew....We adopted him and raised him from 1! Our other kids are 38 and 34...Our son is 14 now!

    If you currently have the FL address, it's pretty simple to to use RVMail.com in Crestview FL as your new permanent address. They have been great for us past two years.

    What do you full timers do during the day if you have no shop or barn to piddle in? Sounds fun but would get boring with only the camper to stay in and do things in. I would have a pile of stuff to get rid of before doing this. Congrats to y'all doing it. Nice forums first time poster here.

    don't leave "finding an address for fulltiming" for the last minute. Its easier if you have it several months in advance, and switch everything over to it to make sure nothing falls thru the cracks.

    There are so many things to see and do out there. We rare stay "home". As for the stuff, do you want family to have to get rid of it when you are gone (dead)? Might as well see the good stuff go to a good home. One man's treasure is another man's junk. Welcome to the forum.
