Welcome to the forum. smile

Lots of great information here to help you get on the road. We started full-timing before we could get full retirement and haven't been at all sorry.

As questions come up, be sure to ask. There's lots of friendly folks on this forum that will be glad to help.

Good luck with your plans,

Jim

Welcomes to Sherry and Pete.

It is good to have you as part of the "family" of those dreaming of and living the RV lifestyle. That family is made up of a lot of knowledgeable folks that are also willing to answer your questions. So, feel free to ask the questions that may come to you.

Hello and welcome to the family. I am repeating what others have said when I say do ask questions. Maybe you will ask the one that someone else forgot to ask and would like to know. Someone here will have answers. Good luck with your ................um "planning" and maybe we will meet down the road one day.

My husband and I and my in-laws are planning to hit the road in November 2012. I will be 44 in September and my husband who will be 37 in July we have had it with working 8-5 jobs and can't wait to get on the road and explore our country. My in-laws who are in their 70's are always coming with us. We are looking into renting our home out and we will be travelling with our bulldog Tank.

I am looking for any information that anyone has that they can give to help us with our journey.

Thanks!

Hi Karri Ann,

We already rent out our home and it has been going really well- we are not on the road yet but renting our house was a big first step- we do not want to sell yet so this has been a great solution,let me know if I can answer any questions!

Take Care,

Cheryl

We have 8 months to go before we head out. We have been living in an RV for the past 4 years so we are versed in what we need to take and what we need to leave behind. Glad to have you here with us...

Welcome! We are almost there ourselves. Can't wait to pull out!

Sherry48629 · RV-Dreams Community Member

Thanks very much :). This summer we are preparing our home for sale in the spring. My husband can take an early retirement in January but we won't be listing the house until spring. Once we get that done, we can purchase our RV and get on the road as we are able. We've already begun to start counting down the weeks - lol.

Hi Sherry!

We are also plotting..err...planning for retirement and full time RV life! I am right there with you, with all of my spare time being used on blogs, websites and forums! Shoot even if I dont have the spare time all those chores don't seem quite as critical now biggrin My husband retires in 5 years and we are very excited and motivated! In the meantime, we continue on our adventures, dream, plan, research and start prepping! Best wishes to you as you get ready and then head out!

Greetings Sherry and all I can say is to just jump in with both feet and don't wait if you don't need to... We are in our mid 50's and have fulltimed a little over a year now with no regrets whatsoever...

Sherry48629 · RV-Dreams Community Member

Thanks guys!

Becca, we were going to wait until hubby had full retirement at 66; instead he will take partial retirement at 62. I have a seasonal job that only requires a strong internet connection - we will only stay places that have one when I'm working April-Nov - and a fairly quiet environment. Between the 2 we will do ok, and hubby is healthy and hardy enough at only 62 to take on other things as well. And so am I :). We're looking into our options now.

Heyduke, we are very excited now that we've chosen not to wait! All it will take is selling the house and buying a used rig. In the meantime we are already divesting ourselves of possessions and putting plans in place to make it happen in 2013 :).
