Thinking of Full Time would love some advice

[Abledturtle]

My husband works remote, and we're discussing full time RVing. I have a few questions about this topic.

What type of insurance is the best?
Should we buy new or used? We've never owned an RV before
Are there any books we should read?
Is a mobile hotspot the best way to maintain internet while at campgrounds?
Are there places to get solar panels installed or are they easy to install?

Thank you for any and all help.

I wouldn't recommend putting a lot of money into a RV and trying to travel full-time if you've never RV'd before. At least rent for a couple weeks (which is expensive) or preferably buy a used one and traveling in it for at least 6 months to see if full-timing is for you. Don't jump into this lifestyle!

Read these forums and you'll find there can be a lot of problems and 'how-to-do' issues that you haven't even thought about. A big one nowadays is medical insurance that you can travel with. You'll have to domicile in the correct state and even in the correct county to obtain reasonable insurance - unless you're on Medicare.

Yes, a mobile hotspot is the way to go and if working on the internet it will be expensive.

Yes, you can easily install solar or there are many places that do it.

John and Kathy Huggins wrote a book that helped us - So, You Want to be an RVer?: Celebrating the RV Lifestyle - you can find it on Amazon.

Don't buy new whatever you do. If either decide you don't like TV ingredients or the model you bought, you'll be out a lot of money.

Put on the brakes little lady.
Never owned an RV to me is a big red light. Start by renting and see if this a lifestyle you actually like.
Next, figure out what kind of RV you like best. There is no one ideal style for everybody. Next you consider buying something. Remember these things are huge deepreciating assets. So let someone else take the big hit in the first 3-5 years.
