The wife and I have decided to take the plunge (eventually) and go full-time in an RV. I am retiring in 4 years, and the plan was to take three years and go to all of the MLB ball parks in an RV. But the plans changed when the grandkids came along, and now we have decided that we will move closer to them, but we wi...
