My husband Rob and I (Karen), have started the process to become full-time RV'ers. We are listing our home on the market, gotten in touch with an estate sale specialist, and are looking at a Jayco Seneca 37FS. We would appreciate any comments, or helpful info you can give us. Thanks.

Ok, I know this must sound silly, but I am a professional quilter, longarmer and pattern designer. So in our present home the guest bedroom is my sewing/designing room and 1/2 of the garage is my long arm room. We are in the process of getting rid of excess stuff which will take some time before my husba...

Hello all. I am dreaming of living full time in an RV sometime this year. I have never lived in an RV before but I am a single parent and the thought of buying a home kind of freaks me out. I guess I am a gypsy at heart as living tiny and in small spaces with the potential to travel REALLY appeals to me. I look forw...

Here we go..... My wife Traciann and I are now starting the process of getting ready for retirement in 6 1/2 years. I took some great ideas from some other full timers, which told me to start now.

The first thing we noticed with our Windsport 29M was that we have no need for the extra bed. We would like to replace it with a pair of recliners. There are THOUSANDS of double recliners out there and I was wondering if anyone out there has gone through this "upgrade"? The current sofa is in the slide an...

Hello! My husband and I are considering going full time rving. We love to travel as do our children. However, our situation gets a little complicated because we have 10 children plus our pets.

We are new to RVing. Our first thought was that we could just rent a car wherever we go. BUT on our first real trip last year we got about 900 miles from home and I had to have emergency surgery for a detached retina. We had to stay at the campground for 2 weeks while I healed up. Trips to the hospital in a cab...

Well, we did it. We sold everything (except the essentials) in November and moved into our 36' Jayco. We ordered a Luxe 42MD and expect it in the next few months. Barry retires in 5 or so years so we will be immobile most of the time. I guess that makes us semi-parttime, I'm not sure? We live in Texas and when...
