To get rid of stuff we threw out lots of stuff, gave the family treasures to family members, put photos in plastic bins and stored them in daughter's garage, had one garage sale, and donated the rest to charity. Don't overthink it. Take the minimum with you. You can buy what you need on the road. Don't worry about what you will do. You will ease into the FT lifestyle. The trick is to stay busy but don't try to see it all at once. We try to take the US Highways and also drive about 250 miles per day. We leave about 10am and arrive at the next destination early. We stop midway for a break. When you visit a state, research it before you go or while you're there, and that way you will see all the great places. We just visited Minnesota and this forum was a great resource for beautiful places and nice campgrounds on Lake Superior. Have a list of must see places and things and keep adding to it. When we talk to other campers they tell us about great places and we put them on our list. We have been full timing for 6 years and have 120,000 miles on our RV but still have a list of places we'd like to see or would like to see again. Relax and enjoy. Getting there now becomes half the fun instead of just the destination.
