Sorry...one of the first things you'll need to do is sell your home....unless you can afford to maintain more than one home and have compelling reasons to keep yourself tied down. We took a big loss on the sale of our home (closing July 26, 2011) but we are ever so grateful to be out from under the bills and payments. Do you know what it's like to have NO mortgage, utility bills or house insurance and taxes to pay? Try it.
We put our house up for sale February 21, 2011, and headed south in our new RV. It was fringed with icicles and burdened with ice on the undercarriage until Las Vegas heat it it. We were on our way to Quartsite...the mecca of western snowbirds. We heard it touted by a bird who came to one of our many moving sales. There were supposed to be flea markets and rock displays stretching out into the giant BLM boondocking ranges. FREE camping!...along with panning for gold and finding all types of mineral treasures. As a former Geology Major, it sounded too good to be true.
Wow, you had a beautiful home. I can't imagine moving away from that and living in a motor home. I guess we are just not cut out for full timing. I think we could go for maybe a few months at a time but it's always so nice to get back home. We are hoping to head out west this spring if all goes well. Most of our trips have only been for a few weeks at the most. We would definitely have to have a tow car or something. As we did stop in some great cities and places but you can't get to everywhere in an RV. It would be nice to have a car to get around in while camped for a month or so. But, I have to give you all credit and know you are having a ball. I think I'm just too chicken to go full time.
