Re: What is consider Full Timing to those that full time?

Did any of you start out with some sort of plan as to where you wanted to travel to. What I consider full time RVing would be constant travel and not staying in one place for more then two weeks. When we started the only real "plan" we had was that we would spend several years seeing most, if not all of the United States. We also knew that we would never spend another winter in the snow, and we still wanted to have some time with our kids and grandkids. We are following those guidelines and making the rest up as we go! That is what is really great about being totally full time in an RV, you might be sitting around and decide "hey, lets take off and go visit_________ for a couple weeks". C-Bear you sound like us we are sick and tire of winter and we are so hoping we can sell our home so we can leave MI winters behind us. Your plan is sort of ours.494Views0likes0CommentsRe: What is consider Full Timing to those that full time?

All bills are sent to us electronically and paid electronically (credit cards, cell phones, satellite, health insurance). Our funds are direct deposited into our credit union from the account which generated them (retirement accounts). We only have a mailbox because we are required to have a physical address. Otherwise, everything is done by computer. Occasionally, we receive paper mail - car registration renewal, for example - which the mail service forwards to where ever we happen to be. I am just starting to explore full time RVing, I had always thought of keeping a home in Michigan since we have good neighbors or using my son's address in Cali. But after visiting the Escapees RV site I notice that they use Florida or Texas, is there some advantages to these states?302Views0likes0CommentsRe: What is consider Full Timing to those that full time?

Taxes are done by using an easy computer program - Turbo Tax. Or have someone do it for you wherever you are. If you sell everything you don't have a lot of accounting. Credit cards - yes, we have them...not sure of your questions. Address: We've used the Escapees RV Club mail forwarding service for 18 years. They give us a street address unique only to us, not a P.O. Box. Everything else is done as you would if you have a stick house. Full-timers only have wheels. :) Full-timing: Selling everything, living and traveling in the RV. What address to you file with the IRS?302Views0likes0CommentsRe: Flagstaff T12BH VS> A Starcraft of same floorplan
