Welcome to the forum!

Full-timing is hard to get out of your blood once it gets in there. We have known quite a few folks who have stopped and then started again because the miss the lifestyle so much.

The questions you asked will depend on your personal preferences but I'm sure there will be folks here that will be able to give you suggestions.

We gave most of our "stuff" to our kids so didn't have any problems there.

We use a cell phone and an air card to stay in touch

As far as we're concerned anyplace where it's warm is a good place to be for the winter.

Good luck with your dreams. Maybe we'll meet you on the road sometime.

Welcome back!!! We use the Verizon air card for internet along with an amplifer, Wilson Trucker Antenna and the cradlepoint router. Bought all of the equipment through the 3G Store. We have NO problems with this set up and it allows both of us to use our laptops at the same time. We also have the Verizon cell phones and have no problem getting connected anyplace we have been. Very happy with both set ups. We kept several pieces of family heirlooms (furniture) and way too many other items in our climate controlled storage locker. LOL We will continue to downsize this area as we go along. Our son took what he wanted. We had two huge yard sales and sold a few things on Craig's List. We gave away many items to Goodwill and Salvation Army. Lots of stuff ended up on the curb and became someones "treasure." You probably won't sell everything just try to sell what you can and then look for places to donate. I agree with Jim, any place that is warm is a good place to spend the winter. If you go where there are plenty of snowbirds you will not be hurting for things to do. Where you spend the winter is really a personal decision. Good luck!!

Welcome to Full Timing...again. We use the Verizon Air Card and we have no problem hooking up. Sure are glad that you found us and signed on...we love more people to help answer questions and pose them too. Hope to see you on here often.

We hired an auction company to sell our "stuff" ten years ago.  We probably didn't get top dollar, but it was a really easy way to get it done.....the auction company spent an afternoon viewing all our stuff several days before, a morning moving out to our yard and in an afternoon it was all gone!!!

We use Verizon to stay in touch.

We prefer Arizona in the winter...many RV parks to choose from with a wide range of price and amenities...tried Florida and the Rio Grande Valley of Texas and there are pros and cons to all three.

Welcome back!!!

Thanks, we love Arizona.  Any parks that you like?  We would like to be on the outskirts of town and we do have pets.  I also am very fond of swimming!  We stayed at one in Mesa (Mesa del sol?)and then one at 19th ave and Dunlap  (too noisy up there).  Both had nice amenities and nice people, though!  OH!  we lived in Phoenix for many years before we started F/T but as you know, RVing is another world and we still need park info!  We will be in Phx next year for the winter...then hopefully back here to sell all in the Spring and SUmmer!  Thanks, Susan

When we get ready to go out on the road we plan to let the kids come in and take what they would like to have then have several garage sales, sell on craigs list, give to the Salvation Army and then have the auction company come in and sell the rest as I know we won't get top dollar as I have worked with them in the past. But something is better than nothing.
