In January when I introduced myself, I stated we would be in the class of 2011.  Well, 4 months later, the house has sold, we have our rig, I've given notice and we have a camp host gig lined up for the entire summer.  Now, it is just a few days until our adventure begins.

Thank you all for sharing your experiences and advice on this forum.  Reading through all the posts and receiving feedback on mine really helped steer us in a good direction and accelerate our 1 year plan into a 4 month plan. 

We will launch on 5/16 with a 2008 Ford F350 Diesel SRW and 2008 Mobile Suites 32TK3.   First stop is a local state park to sort out the last few details about the trailer and then on 5/19 we will leave to begin our camp host duties at our favorite summer rock climbing destination in western Colorado.  Though it really isn't far, we are living 3 dreams in 1 - summer at the park, camp host at the park and no obligations to corporate life.

How long will this last?  Time will tell and until then, we will enjoy every minute.

Congratulations!!!!

So happy that your dreams are coming true.

How long will it last? As long as you both want it to. When we started full-timing, we said we'd stop when one of us didn't want to do it any more.

That's been 9 years ago, and we're still enjoying the lifestyle.

Good luck,

Jim

Thank you all for the well wishes. Terry - we did travel to Elk City (as well as other places) and spent a couple hours there and were very close to purchasing one of their stock, but they only had 36's. Our decision really came down to the fact we didn't think a dually was practical for places we would want to park when not pulling. Climbing areas and trailheads have limited space for parking and a dually would be difficult. Then we compared long and hard the Cameo 32FWS vs. MS 32xxx and we kept coming back to the MS for various reasons. We scoured the country and found 4 used for sale and purchased our unit in Lincoln, NE. So far we really like it. We will be located outside of Rifle, which is north of Pagosa quit a bit and I think there may be a pass or two to cross. If you're up that direction there are a couple nice state parks close that have hookups for $20/night. We will be in Rifle Mountain Park, a city managed park that has been intentionally kept primitive (no electrify or water and vault toilets only) for the 'experience'. Safe travels.

Congratulations Peggy and Tony!  We are also buying a Mobile Suites.  Can hardly wait to pick it up....(June 11th)

It's so great that you can do your first workamping job someplace you love!

Good Luck!!
