We think of ourselves as "traveling fulltimers." I've seen some who are stationary fulltimers - living in a RV fulltime but not ever moving it. And, of course, there are all kinds of variations in between.
I guess it's similar to calling oneself a "football fan" - within those ranks are those who love any game played with the pointy ball to those who are big fans of their 7 year old's peewee league. There's a big difference between the two but both can legitimately lay claim to being a "football fan."
