STEPS
FOR PREPARING TO GO ON THE ROAD FULLTIME
Sell, give to your kids, donate,
give away. However you say it DOWNSIZE. Learn to live with less, you
can't take everything with you.
Join every forum you can, and
read every post, ask any question you can think of. Ask for help.
Subscribe to some magazines on camping full time. Facebook has a
bunch of RV'ing communities you can join. Gather all the information
you can.
BE A SPONGE
Never, never, never buy at an RV
show. The sale man's job is to get you to sign on the dotted line,
DON'T. even when they tell you this is the lowest price I can give
you. If possible wait for winter when they will be hungry to sell and then get a better price.
Don't beat your head against the
wall looking for the perfect rig. You will not find it. If you
travel full time for many years you're needs and wants might change,
maybe you will need a bigger rig. Maybe you will want to downsize.
Remember, you're the Boss.
Don't let family and friends talk you out of your dream. Just
because they don't understand the full time lifestyle doesn’t mean
they have the right to change your mind. If they finally get it,
Great. If not, their loss. Just send them lots of post cards. That
will really make them jealous.
Hello Brian and Barb,
ReplyDeleteI just noticed you are now following my blog and wanted to come here and check you out. :)
I think you made some very good points. Most of us fulltimers have been exactly where you are and we all learn from each other.

(after I tried to post the comment, I got sent back to "prove you're not a robot." Please consider removing that because most bloggers won't comment if they have to type in those crazy letters and numbers to prove they are a real person. IMHO
Karen, Thank you for commenting on my blog. I started this so I can learn as much as possible on RV living but thought maybe others might be able to use the information also. Funny we are from the Clearwater area, but now live just north of Atlanta.
ReplyDeleteI think I have the comment robot booted out, at least I hope so. Again thanks for stopping by.
