How Long?

I see more and more of the bloggers/full timers leaving the lifestyle for what ever reason. Some because of health problems, some because they found the "perfect" spot they want to live.

Got me to thinking.(I know that is dangerous :))

Is there a cycle of entering this lifestyle, staying a while and then leaving? How long is the average full time experience?


So how long have YOU been full timing?

I'll start: Nine years now.
Our Rig:
2005 Dodge 3500 - Dually- Cummins

We also have with us two rescue dogs. A Chihuahua mix & a Catahoula mix.

Full time since June 2006

We retired last year at 60 and now have one year under our belt. As said earlier, part of my ur mission is finding that place we love and would want to stay, but so far we've not. Even if we did find it today we wouldn't come off the road. I see us doing this at least 4-5 years or more assuming health remains good. We'll see......

Don't think everyone that starts full time RVing plans on doing it forever. We would like to start full time RVing in about two years but can't see doing full time for more than three or four years at the most.
