I have been lurking around and I really enjoy the format and quality of the members on this forum. I really don't know what to call myself and I don't think it matters. I do fulltime in a 3812TS Raptor but I don't get to travel due to my job. I am proudly serving in the military and I am currently deployed to Iraq. We should return sometimes next year and believe me I am more then ready to get my Raptor out of storage and once again live the rv life. Now out of curriosity, in RV Term what do we call someone like me who fulltime rv but basically stay at a stand still?
Respectfully,
Harry

Hi Harry!
Welcome to RV-Dreams and thank you so much for your service.
There are many RVers that live in their RV and never move or only move once our twice a year. Don't know about anyone else, but I still call them full-timers.
Glad to have you on the Forum.

Welcome, Harry.
First of all, thank you for your service to our country and its citizens. You are greatly appreciated for that.
Like Howard said, there are a number of folks doing what you described. Once our house sells, Jo and I will be living in our fifth wheel until we retire in an undetermined number of years yet.
When I've described our future lifestyle to others, I refer to us becoming "Static Full-timers" as opposed to "Mobile Full-timers."
Welcome Harry and thank you for your service to our country!

From a former Vet to you Harry, you have my deep respect and gratitude! I have numerous friends with sons/daughters either in Iraq or Afghanistan these days. My prayers are with you during these long deployments. God Bless ...

Many thanks for the warm welcome to the forum. Also, thanks for every vets and civilians alike. As I mentioned in my introduction is what really attracted me to this forum is the quality of the members. It seems that there is not to much disagreements and more friendship among members, and lets not forget the weight police at every reply.

Thank you for your service!

Thanks for your service to our Country.. At one time we were full timing and due to wife's Moms medical issues we quit. We are now Some Timing, at Some Time we just get up and hit the road. About 8 months a year at different locations. I would say your a full timer. However you can be what ever you want, its just a choice. Have fun......... Be Safe.....
Thanks again my Warrior Brother.........................
Retired Army: 26 years 22 days..........

From Dictionary.com:
static
–adjective Also, stat·i·cal.
So, welcome to the "charged up" group.
