Shirley,

First of all, welcome to the RV Dreams forums.  And yes, it is a site where you can get a lot of information, not only in the forums from various participants but also from Howard and Linda's journal entries and other parts of the website.  You can even go into their financial pages and see what they are spending for all the various expenses that they incur.

As for full-time living in an RV, I am 67 and my lovely bride is 61.  We've already sold our home and acreage and bought the RV to live in until we can both retire.  Actually, our plans are to never again own a home, and if we eventually quit traveling, we'll either still live in the RV or rent something somewhere.  After all, we can't take any of it with us, so why have a bunch of stuff and a house that our sons will have to get sold or given away.

I'd say to do some research first to see if you think the financial side of things will work for you and whether you BOTH will like the idea of nearly the entire United States being your back yard.  Good luck with your research and planning.

Terry

Shirley: Welcome. I'm wondering why you decided that you might want to full-time in the first place. What are the positives to full-timing for you? And, what do see as the negatives to full-timing that might make you not like it? Very good advice from a previous post to look at the financial end first and work through that. There are many different ways to experience the lifestyle and if you look at the budgets of others, it at least gives you a place to start. As with any lifestyle change, cold feet aren't uncommon. It certainly helps if both people are dedicated to the idea. It must have been quite a shock when your husband brought up moving up the sale of the house!
