Well Gang,
I started a thread about this very same thing only a year or so ago and most said I was nuts. Well, many of you have found out what I talked about at that time. There are more and more FULL TIMERS out there, and what we call "Live-ins". It's pretty obvious too. When you travel down a row in an RV park and everything under the sun is spread out all around the coach/trailer etc., you know they've been there for quite a while and, AIN'T going anywhere, anytime soon. And we've seen this now for years.
We too like to travel at will, with no reservations. We just go here and there and, make a left turn in a state at the last minute, 'cause it seemed like it felt right. Well, more and more and more, each time we walk up to a desk at the office of and RV park, the first question from the desk clerk is: "Do you have reservations"? And, they may, or may not have a spot for us. If not, we find a Walmart or a Casino etc. to survive in.
If you get a chance, watch the TV show: Going RV. To us, it's odd that so many YOUNGER folks, WITH KIDS, are now heading out across the U.S. for full time. How in the H.. do they do that? Some, work from a computer. Seems that there's lots of that going on. Nobody goes to work anymore. Well, that's not necessarily true. Go to any metro area on a free way at about 07:00 in the morning and you'll see folks going to work, for sure.
Anyway, like what's been stated, it's getting tougher and tougher to wing it. Maybe we should have got reservations for spots in multiple RV parks at multiple dates, when I started my work career. That way, when we retired, we'd have spots, yeah sure.

We often watch that show, Going RV, and come away with the same questions. How do these younger folks make a living while on the road? Also, we wonder how many last very long.....can't imagine two adults and 3 kids stuffed into a 40' rig for very long.
