9 More Months!

DebbieM · RV-Dreams Family Member

Congrats! We lived in Placerville before heading out fulltime two months ago. Love, love, LOVE it! I'm retired but my husband is still working and so far, it's been great. I was researching for 1 1/2 years. Many will tell you, the time will FLY! If you'll be purging, start now. The process can really take a long time and can be a lot of work and for some, stressful.

We'll see you at the rally. I hope that earthquake didn't cause you any damage.

I second Deb's "emotion"! It is NEVER too early to start purging. Just ask us how we know!!

Look forward to seeing you at the rally!

Great news Bob and Kat!!

We have a thread for the "graduating" class of 2015 and a lot of us are from California. Click on the Search in the blue bar above and enter Dreamers Class of 2015 to find us. We're all getting excited with most of us now under 11 months to go!!

I have been purging for 14 months (slow and steady) and with seven months to go we will be ready to go without a huge push at the end. It definitely helps the time go more quickly

We were doing the same thing last year.....time went very quick!! Took off full-timing(camp hosting)....left Northern Ca. and moved everything to Oregon. Best move we ever made.

Agree 100%, We're over 4 years from kick-off and we are already well into purge mode.

We're also from NorCal. I have delayed my retirement until November of 2015, but at that time, we'll find our fulltime rig, with the plan being to hit the road in spring of 2016. Still debating the type of RV we'll go with. I've been research for 6-7 years now, and that is probably too long, since so much has changed over that time. It's actually stressful constantly thinking about the tiniest of details over and over! Anyway, we too are purging, and hope to see you on the road soon!

We're six-months behind you as we'll head out December next year. We joined this site four years ago, we're very slow learners :), but the time has gone quickly and we have been able to gain much insight from the folks on this site. And, probably just as important, use that insight to address several issues which now allow us to travel this great country of ours with a great sense of purpose and freedom, which certainly includes the "purging" of many things.

Look forward to crossing paths in the future. We will be at Hersey looking over possible floor plans in DPs and attending a number of the seminars, but will not be able to spend time in Goshen at the Rally. Good luck with your launch!

We are on the same timeline as you. Our plans are to move back into our 5th wheel early next Spring. John will retire from his job in May and we will establish residency somewhere other than Ca. I sure hope this is our last summer in the heat of the Sacramento valley.
This will be our second time living fulltime in the RV. Best of luck getting everything in order; time if flying and I can't believe we are finally going to be free of the work world in less than a year.
I started a blog, mainly to document our preparations and then to keep our family up to date on our travels.

Thanks for all the support! Sure seems like things have mysteriously reproduced in our closets. Purging and repairing are our major forms of activities these days. Making home repairs is something that I will NOT MISS! Hopefully any repairing on our Fifthwheel won't be as demanding. Looking forward to meeting you all at the Rally or on the road!
