We lived in central Indiana. Had RV'd since the second year of our married life. At age 47, my DH suffered 3 rapid and debilitating heart attacks and eventually had to quit work. In the winter when the snow would fly, he was housebound, not able to leave warm air. . . the cold air made him pass out. Not a great life for someone who traveled for a livelihood and camped and boated on the weekends.
I was a couple years away from retirement when he asked if I was interested in fulltiming. The answer was an unqualified "YES!" We already had a class A and spent the next two years selling and emptying out our house. It sold the first week we left for the road. It's been 9 years, starting 10 and we are still loving it. DH gets to stay in warm weather all year long, so he is more active and his doctors are amazed at how well he is doing. Did Alaska last year. . . warm summer there. It was great!
My parents had done this before us, traveling in their 5th wheel between Texas and Indiana every year. Our two kids moved to Virginia and Florida when they left the nest, so there was no one who was upset. It actually means we get to see them more now.
