"we could never live full time in a RV, I know sounds strange but as business owners we get far more vacation time than normal employees do sometimes 3 to 4 big trips per year not including the little weekend trips, almost feel burnt out but hate to stop and be bored."
Four years before we went full time, we bought a boat and used it for camping on the hook. We spend at least 100 nights a year on it for two years. We switched to a tt and for the next two years spent 120 nights and 180 nights in it respectively. During the second year, we realized we loved being in our RV but we hated 'vacationing.' It was stressful and rushed and we never got to experience a place, only got to see it. So we sold our stuff, 'retired,' and have been living in our RV for the 2+ years since.
'Vacationing' is a break from every day life. Full timing is living your every day life.
The other day DH and I were talking. We can't decide between continuing full timing on land or switching to water. The one thing we did decide is that the worst thing would be to buy a 'home base.' Neither of us would want to stay there all the time, want the maintenance and up keep, want the stress and worry of being away from 'home.' As it is, we are always home, regardless of where we are parked.
