Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

  Hi Everone..    Stumbled onto your  site & loved it..Permit me to introduce myself.
  Im John O originally from  Singapore.. Resided in Dallas for the last30 years with a burning itch to go full time  Rving in 3 years..  ..actually Im ready next  year, but have  to wait for the DLW  to reach 65 for her Medicare ...
  We  will be living on SS  + megre investments ( you know  how that is these days ) 
 Well we  say we're  going to do full time..
 Got a 2003 F250 superduty 7.3 Powerstroke & a Forest River Sierra 355RLt , both  paid up.. 
 My question is can one   do  full time  on a limited budget ? We are  fairly frugal &  easy going   by nature.. 
We're not computer savy 

  Cheers ....John O

Welcome, John O.biggrin

Glad you found this web site as I'm sure it will help you answer the many questions that you'll have.

You can definitely full-time on a limited budget. Many of the folks here are doing it and with a little planning, you can too.

Jim

We have a small budget and short of a oil change we are solvent.

Welcome John. Like a lot of people these days we manage to get by on very little money. We workamp to help stretch our meager retirement income. Sometimes we get paid for workamping (or the stint we did at Amazon), but then you gotta pay Uncle Sam. We prefer to trade hours worked for our site.

Welcome, John.

When it comes time to retire, we may very well be in the same boat as you and your DW.  Our retirement could be anywhere from 3 to 6 or 7 years though.  Depends on when our truck and coach are paid off.

Browse through Howard and Linda's financial pages and you can get a good idea of the costs involved with full timing.  Going into Howard's "Site Map" on the home page will get you lots of information.

Join us all in the dreams.

Terry
