Your right, not a full-timer, at least not yet! We plan to be there about this time next year, possibly sooner, but we have been RVing since 1992 and camping forever.
We are currently seeking advice from realtors on selling our house. Most of the junk collected over the years is gone and when the house goes, so will the remaining stuff. We're on our way, tomorrow, to the Hersey RV show in Pennsylvania with the hopes of finding our full-timing MH. I think we already know which one, but it will be awesome to see it and walk thru it.
I started this thread to understand how most fulltime RVers seek out and get into campgrounds around the country. We always made reservations, because like you, we need to go back to work on Monday or after a week or two vacation. I still remember back in the 90's not having to make a reservation at all when we went for the weekend. It was great because if it rained, we didn't go or lose any money. Times have changed....
That sounds great. I'm very impressed that you've cleared out all the junk from your home in anticipation. I couldn't get my wife to commit 100% to that so we only sold about 80% of what we had.
I think you'll love Full-timing. You'll probably find that reservations will become a source of stress rather than a source of relief once you go full-time. It really cuts down on your flexibility. I guess it's only money, but it still pains me to lose a deposit on a reservation.
Of course, you'll always need reservations for popular places at popular times. That's just the way it is. Sometimes you can get lucky, but not always.
I'm really lucky when it comes to my bride. She and I are on the same page when it comes to full-timing. She can't wait!! She has been doing most of the closet cleaning and encouraging me to go through my stuff. We're almost done and should/will be done during the winter months. We already bought our retirement coach during the Hersey show and all that will be left is selling the house....
