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!!

House is going up for sale in the Spring 2013!

biggrin

I am freaking out a little bit which I didn't think I would do. We have a 3 year plan and my hubby wants to cut it down to 1 yr. I am in no way prepared for this. The house needs to have a lot of work done to it and we need to clear out the clutter.  I am doing a little bit at a time but working two jobs is not easy.  I didn't think I would be so attached to my job (10 years) and looking into getting my liscense in various states to become a traveler.  We will stay in our camper (small toy hauler) we have now until the fall of 2013 which by then we hope to have our fifth wheel if not we will be bunking in with someone lol. O I really do feel an panic attack coming on. Keep your fingers crossed for us and that our house sells QUICK! The sooner I have the fifth wheel the better I will feel.

Thanks for listening,

Scubabeck   disbelief

We are planning on F/T, as well, as soon as God sees fit.  After all, He is the one with perfect timing!  I am already cleaning my house out... layer-by-layer.  (That's how I spent my vacation last week.)  I didn't think I would EVER be thinking the way I am now (WANTING SOOO BADLY TO HIT THE ROAD!!!!!), but I have come to the conclusion that tomorrow is not guaranteed.  All we have is "stuff" and I am at a point in my life where it just doesn't matter anymore.  I would much rather be exploring God's country without an alarm clock!!!!!  Run, don't walk, into tomorrow as though it was your last day on earth.

Best wishes!

Hi Mary Sunshine,
It's a good omen you anwsered my post. When my kids were little and fussing I would say to them... stop crying now and put on a Mary Sunshine smile...seeing your name and how you replied has given me hope. I went through the buffet chest and cleared out (dishes I was saving) and got rid of my cermanic tea pots too. Three moderate sizes boxes were taken to "Good Will" and donated. There is still stuff in the buffet but as soon as I get some more boxes... The rest will be cleared out and emptied. Then I start in the corner dining room cabinet and empty that out as well. My kids are being informed that house clearing is going to commence very soon. The fall will be attic and basement when the weather is a bit cooler. Your right about layer by layer. Also right about God's timing. May the good Lord see us both thru and safely to our dream.

Scubabeck, I am so sorry... I must have, somehow, missed your post.  It sounds like you are getting into the swing of things.  Keep up the momentum, for momentum will help you reach your goals.  I have been working so very hard... to the point of exhaustion.  BUT, that's O.K.  It's getting me closer to my goal.  Whether it's my screen name or something I say, I hope that I can continue to inspire you and others who are newbies such as myself.  Just stay focused on your goal and never take your eye off the prize!  Who knows?  Maybe one day we'll meet on the road... livin' the dream!  Good luck, and I'll be checking on ya!

Hi Scubabeck

That is so funny because my husband has the 3 year plan and I want to cut it down to one year. My daughter graduated from college in May and I see no reason to prolong our plans. My dh has other ideas. I say you never know, we may not be around in 3 years. The fact that I hate my job also makes me want to make it happen faster. But I'm also scared. Scared to let go of my home. I don't care about the things in it. We too need to do work on the house. There are some things that have to be done before we can sell it. We want to go to FL. We live in PA. I know the only thing that holds me back is that my 2 adult kids live here.

Hi Jane and Mary,

Thanks for anwsering my post! It's good to be able to share my feelings and thoughts and know that others are going through the same thing.
Jane...I too live in PA. Our daughter just moved to NJ to start with a new Pier One store opening. Our son still lives near us in PA. So the house has an really empty feeling to it now. That is one of the reasons my hubby wants to speed the process up. I just feel so overwhelmed by all the things I have collected over the years. The economy is not so good so not sure if I can sell it or just take to good will to donate. Uggh! Our home also needs repairs. IT has to be done before it goes up for sale. Otherwise it will be a pain in the backside with: is this done or that done...selling a house is very stressful. But I do know that a empty house sells faster...or at least I think it does. So far two rooms in the house has been removed of the furiture. and the others will follow. This Christmas no decorations will be going up. Because I am hoping that the house will be empty by then or close to it. Beside we are spending Christmas at my sons house. So why decorate just to take down in January...I've always been big on Christmas and other holidays but this year it won't be happening. Good luck with shortening the 3 year plan. Everyone who has gone full time seems to love it! I can't wait to join the full time family myself! I hope to meet up with you at a rally or on the road somewhere one day. Keep me posted!
Hey Mary,
Good to hear from you again! How is things working out for you? I will take your advice and keep the momentum going! I would love to keep in touch with you and meet up on the road with you. After all you gave inspiration and an extra box of stuff has been already packed lol. Hope your dealings with your house is going well. When do you think you may be out on the road? We are hoping our house sells fast! Keep me posted!

ttyl...take care!
