Hi everyone. My name is Jon and I have been interested in hitting the road full time for several years. At first I thought having small children would prevent that, but as I've seen from other sites it works well to teach the kids "real" history and life. My only problem is my wife doesn't share one bit of the enthusiasm I have for this lifestyle. My only hope is to get an RV and take vacations/getaways to hopefully swing her to the "dark side"
My dream is a converted HDT pulling a custom built 5th wheel. Since $$$ is tight right now I keep looking for a small RV that I can afford to get my plan rolling (craigslist is a great resource . I love reading all the sites on this topic and everyone doing it seems like they wouldn't trade it for the world. One day I hope to join you all on the road.

Hi Jon,
Welcome to the forum.
Many couples have the problem of only one of them wanting to full-time. It is a serious problem, and must be worked out before beginning. I believe both of you need to make the commitment in order for it to work.
Starting out by going on trips to places she would like to visit should be good. Then, like you said, you may be able to convince her to take the plunge.
