Question to the full Timers Out There Or Soon To Be

My question is how long have you done full timing and what made you go full timing.

I guess what I am trying to say is how is the full timing life, me and my wife had made a discussion we do not want to be full timers because we have been RVing since we were young and owned many RV's and feel like we have done the life style enough that we could never live full time in a RV, I know sounds strange but as business owners we get far more vacation time than normal employees do sometimes 3 to 4 big trips per year not including the little weekend trips, almost feel burnt out but hate to stop and be bored.

Who here has had their share of RV trips while younger and feel like full timing is a done that been there thing.


maybe full timing in a house boat might get me excided, don't know.

We camped for 30 years before full-timing for 16 additional years. The two aren't the same.

It's a great feeling knowing you have no timeframes to return to a house or job. You can go wherever and stay how ever long. You don't have to rush to get there.

We aren't collectors and a house is just some place to get through a day. We were equally satisfied in our 300 sq. ft. RV as in our 2500 sq ft house.

Our kids and family were 100% for our new lifestyle. Our grandkids grew up with us full-timing and they were truly disappointed when we stopped. They had great experiences because of it and we made sure we were there for their important dates - first day of school, grandparents day, sports, awards, etc.

Some folks can't do this and that's fine but we never looked back.

We also volunteered in national and state parks and it's an awesome experience. Volunteers are appreciated unlike paid employees. Plus, we actually got to live in those gorgeous places.

We haven't regretted it for a second.

Been at this FT thing now in our 16th year. Can't imagine going back to a fixed location. As I tell everyone who asks, this lifestyle isn't for everyone, but for those of us who love it, it's been the best 15+ years of my life. It's all about freedom.

We are two years into our full-time experience and love it. We sold our house two and a half years ago. As a former business owner, I can relate to the vacation schedule.

Full-time doesn't mean life-time. When we've had enough, I'm sure we'll find a parking spot for the RV and move into a house or a rental somewhere.
