Ditto! We're also in our next phase of purging, in hopes we'll be vacating by the end of next week. All the stuff we put on the side because we weren't sure about, is very easily being decided on now - mostly being given or thrown away.

I gotta tell you:


It never ends!


We have to purge every year.

It does get easier.

We've been fulltiming 8 years. Every year we make a least one, if not two trips, to Goodwill with things we don't need. Now it is often things we are just tired of - still wearable, but just not what we want, or we've gotten something new so something old is going.

Purging and rotating things is a constant event. We have been on the road 14 years, and like Barb we constantly purge things, take things to Goodwill, buy things at Goodwill and I repack and rotate tools and equipment. This all is NOT a one time event.

Because we are just a week away from being where our storage units are we have been having this conversation a lot it seems. We have 2 storage units, 1 large and one medium. One costs $85 per month and one $95. We have a car (2012 Prius) and a Goldwing Trike mixed in them along with a bunch of other stuff like hutches that we would NEVER spend that much money on again.
We figure we will be on the road if all goes well, at least 4 more years (but who really knows) so we figure if we got down to 1 storage unit at $95 per month and was able to store the car, trike and what pieces of furniture we consider expensive we would live with the $4560 we would spend on storage to hold the roughly $60,000 worth of stuff we would have in it. Plus we would have the trike and car to fall back on when in the area.
Smart,,, who knows, probably not but t seems right for us.

Well, we just added up the weight of the new batteries, less the old ones, solar panels, inverter, etc. We ended up with more solar panels than we thought we would, but due to both of us working from home, that's what we determined we needed.

Time to keep purging!! Dale had already decided it was time to get rid of his Black and Decker workmate table, he brought it along for his work but over the past year has figured out how to use a smaller table and therefore decided it was time to get rid of it. After dropping the 5th wheel at AM Solar, he went to put the work table in the back of the truck, they asked what he was doing with it, he replied that it was on it's way to Habitat for Humanity and well, long story short, we ended up just leaving that work table there for the guys who were happy to take the donation off our hands.

When we leave AM Solar we're headed for a state park where we will once again take everything out of the basement and rearrange and purge. I agree it's a never ending process, but after spending the first 2 months on the road constantly purging so we could finally sell my car and then still continuing to purge, leaving stuff at donation bins in at least 6 different states in the first 5 months, I really didn't know that 6 months later we would still have so much to get rid of, I must say it gets easier every time!!!
