How long full timing?

[Dog_Folks]

How long have you been full timing? I would like to see what the "average" seems to be.

I will start: 8 years. No plans to quit.

Yep..."newbies" is reserved for just starting out. You're now officially and "oldbie" or seasoned veteran! You passed the course.

Welcome to the forum.

"newbies " has never been defined, but I think that 2 years is enough to erase the "newbie" sign.

Maybe "oldbie?" :B

Happy Camping.

There has to be more than a couple of us "newbies" out there. We are almost to the 2 year mark. We haven't covered all the states yet, still have over 20 to go!

My two year anniversary was 3 days ago, so glad I decided to "retire" early and go now. 🙂

You are right. My apologies to the OP.

Apology accepted. I helped encourage that.

I used the words "arithmetic mean" so that any poster knew the method I was using, because I was sure someone would ask!!!

Sum divided by the number count of entries.

"In mathematics and statistics, the arithmetic mean (pronunciation: /?ær???m?t?k ?mi?n/), or simply the mean or average when the context is clear, is the sum of a collection of numbers divided by the number of numbers in the collection" Wiki (Red color added)

Not trying to be scientific, just get a rough feel for long the majority of full time travelers do so.

Why? For my own knowledge base.

As a full timer, I wonder : How Long is typical? How many more years can I expect?

Please keep the numbers coming.

So far the average is: 9.13 years based upon 26 responses.

Please explain. Arithmetic mean for the purposes of this forum seems adequate. I don't see any reason to have a statistics lesson over it.

The arithmetic mean,(average)so far is 8.68 years

2 1/2 years....40,000 miles and lovin' every minute!

[Aridon]

6 years. How times flys.

Not fulltime but longtime. Since 2007 it has been an average of 150 nights of very active 15 to 20k miles travel per year.

We started with the thought of 3 or 4 years then going back to our boating. Still going strong with the RV.

My Wife and I have been fulltiming about a Year and a Half. There for a While we were at Loretta Lynn's Daugheter's Campground in Hurricane Mills, TN. This Summer we have been all the Way to Maine and Vermont. We will probably winter in South Texas. We are currently in the Saavannah, GA Area.

5 years, 2 months and counting.
We may slow down enough this winter to spend a month or so in the same place.
