Started Full Timing

We got moved into our 5th Wheel this past weekend! We have a permanent base camp and will be traveling a week or so per month.

We have full septic, power and water. It’s all behind. That’s the reason for the dirt.

Welcome to the world of fulltiming, remember to stop and smell the roses, see the sites. Fulltiming is not a quick vacation trip to ram and see the sites in a short amount of time.

Ahh, I'm jealous. I'd love to be able to sell the house, get rid of the mortgage and just full-time. But I've got 2 major problems with it. 1) being Canadian, winter is a concern and more important 2) the missus would leave me, and I can't afford the divorce.

Still, congrats!

Congrats! I am definitely jealous. My wife and I are still about 15 years away from being able to do this.

Congratulations on your achievement. My wife and I have talked about it before, but even after 42 years of marriage we are challenged to live together under 3500 s/f. I don't think we could do it in an RV. She agrees. Good luck in your adventures.
