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.

Nice. We have been fulltiming for over 2 years now and enjoy the extra freedom it provides.

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.
