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!!

Met a fulltimer in a Casita
Permalink  

Over the holiday weekend I had a long chat with a woman full timing alone in a Casita trailer. She sold her house in 2009 and bought the camper new along with a new Ford F150 2 wheel drive regular cab truck. She was very interesting and shared a lot of good information. There all kinds of full-timers out there in all sizes of rigs.

Yep, I met a full-timer in an Aliner once. There are many who full-time in smaller rigs from class b's and converted vans to converted U-haul trucks, step vans, stealth cargo trailers (that you wouldn't know someone was living in if you walked right up to it), cars (from Priuses on up to wagons and SUVs) to converted school busses, restored classic campers of all sizes, home-made, plywood and high-dollar truck campers etc. Here's a website for those on full-timing on limited means or with minimal environmental impact by choice: www.cheaprvliving.com/ Check out their interesting forum too. God, I love America, where people are free to live however and wherever they like.

We met a couple FT'ing in a very small cabover style camper, absolutely amazing to me. As Howard has said, there is no right way to full time.

There's lots of folks out there in smaller setups.. and it's amazing. We did our first year on the road in a 16' T@B teardrop trailer, and the next 3 years in a 17' Oliver (similar to the Casita).

Those were amazing years of exploring a new relationship (think that's what got us through it!), small space living and being able to go places we no longer can in our huge 35' bus. We do miss the flexibility on occasion.

 Shouldn't that read, there is no WRONG way to full time?

I don't know. I can think of a few wrong ways, such as pulling a 40ft fiver with a 1/2 ton truck, for instance.

Or boondocking for days on end in Walmart parking lots - slides out, grill going and stereo blasting.

I think a better statement is that there are many right ways to FT, not just one.

We work camped, as campground hosts, with a single lady in a Casita. She was very happy with it, and we admired her spirit.
