I’m going to do it ASAP! I’ll be 50 in two years when my youngest graduates and I can sell my house. I love my friends and my job but I can’t afford this house by myself much longer. I’m scraping by to give my kids the stability they need. But as soon as they can be on their own (or with their dad if needed) I am out! I want to see and do ALL the things before I’m too old to enjoy it all. I told my son I’d love to be a cashier at a gift shop in Yellowstone- he looked at me like I was crazy- but honestly, that’s what I want to do!

Liz, let me first say that we love your channel! RV full time living is not for everyone, though. We dabbled in it for a while, but it wasn’t for us. My wife and I are similar in that we like to have a permanent place to call home . I have to believe that some due diligence research on your part would have avoided the awful location your home was located in. For our part, my wife and I have found that having a “sticks and bricks” home is much more secure than living full time in an RV. In fact, trips in our RV are more special to us BECAUSE they aren’t day to day living - they are trips to “get away” and see something new. Different strokes for different folks I guess!

Hi Alfred! Unfortunately we bought that house in the summer when traffic was much less. Even talking to the neighbors did not reveal the problem. Their homes were situated such the noise was not an issue. The sellers of the home had passed some years prior so we couldn't ask them. It was just dumb luck I guess. So glad you tried fulltime RV life and have now found what works for you. Thanks for your kind words, and for watching. Appreciate you helping me get closer to 100k!

I have to agree, the RV trip would be fun, but not full time. I have seen 100 videos about RV, and only one showing how you empty the dark waste tank. And that's about as many times as I would ever want to deal with that per year. I do sympathize with their home buying mistake. I made a commitment to a job once, during summer. Same as she said, the world is a different place in most states in the summer. Traffic was nothing, and then it was 2 hours longer to get to work in the Fall. Don't buy anything or make huge life choices during summer, unless you live in permanent summer like SoCal, or Arizona or Florida. Also, when you buy homes, people flee like flies, because it is not about them. You almost need a realtor and then a paid advisor who is not on a commission to get it right..

We have been RVing for 40 years and absolutely love it. We have traveled for months at a time all over this beautiful country, and we have always owned a home. Ten years ago we purchased our current home (with cash made from owning and selling our other homes over 30 years). It is on 10 acres in the Sierra Foothills with a detached shop and RV garage. For us having a beautiful home to come back to is very important. Being retired we still have the freedom and resources to travel in our RV whenever we want, owning homes has helped make that possible. We do not have to worry about where the money is coming from. Owing Real Estate is more than simply a home base it is an investment in future financial security. Paying rent will never gain you anything other than a temporary place to stay, all that rent money is gone. I hear what Liz is saying here and agree with many of her points. But for us we also want a home where we can have family and friends over and make memories also. For my wife and I we find that having a "sticks & bricks" home and an RV work great. We are all very fortunate to be able to make these kind of decisions, freedom is truly priceless!

Glad it works for you, but.... you can't always leave when neighbors are bad, like, every winter most parks in the south are at max capacity. Your home breaks down and requires just as much maintenance as a house. albeit without the yardwork. Why not get an affordable home, and travel.... most parks are upwards of $50 a day. Skip the $400K RV entirely and spend $150 a day at a hotel, how many extra $100 can you spend to equal a $300-$400K RV? A lot Sunrises and sunsets are everywhere, no RV required Yes, you probably meet more Q and Trumpers... no thanks. I am glad it works for you. Our plan is to downsize significantly and travel by car and staying in hotel, motel, air BnB, etc. heard too many horror stories when it comes to RV life.

Hitting my 7 year anniversary of full time RVing. I can't believe it's been that long. I could never go back to a sticks and bricks lifestyle. I don't like staying in one place too long. Our homes have wheels for a reason. I started work camping last year. I got to spend 3 months in Santa Barbara CA and next month I am going to a work camping job in the Park city Utah area for the summer. Can't wait. The people you meet too.

I really like the American (Anglo-Saxon) women as they are practical, untangled and speak well. I also have a motorhome here in Europe and I feel the same way. The advantage in Europe is that you are traveling through history and in the USA you visit large and beautiful desert places like Arizona; Sedona is a must see, and many protected natural parks. But in Europe the experiences are much more daring and out of the ordinary.

I retired 6 years ago and four years ago my wife and I bought a truck and a 23 foot travel trailer. Our plan has always been to be out of Texas for the super hot months of June, July, and August. And that's exactly what we have been doing. So for us three or four months away is just right. We have 7 grandchildren so we want to be back home to spend time with all of them and their activities during the school year and cooler months. We love RV'ing but after three or four months it nice to be able to stretch out again in our house.

Many love RVing till ... they don't. You're still young and healthy but as you get older, things change and NOT for the better. It is always good to have a place of your own (house/apartment/home base) to come back to, ALWAYS. It is always nice to see your kids especially grandkids and NOT just few times a year (we see them daily). Trips .... do you really need a $100k+ RV to take trips, how about a van, you can either camp or stay in a small motel, and after few months or so of traveling, you can always come back to your home base. Good for you that you love what you're doing, for us, we love traveling and sightseeing as well but to a point, after few months we cannot wait to get back. Good luck to you in your travels.

Subscribed for your goal. I'll share a story for you in case you are reading these comments Liz. wink. My older sister is 63 ... her and her husband are 20+ year Military Vet's... for many years they RV'd and camped, and hauled their Jeep or 4 wheeler. We would Camp at this great place in Virginia, I'd meet them there. About 2 years ago, when her husband finally retired (he's younger)... they took the RV across the USA....for a month....stopping at their brother's in Utah...down into New Mexico....etc. When the housing market hit some peak numbers ....they sold their home in Maryland, moved to "The Villages" (over 55, in Florida- yes THE bubble), parked the RV in storage, sold the 4 wheeler (sold the boat). They had a mutual friend from the Military network with them to score a great home at The Villages...they joined clubs, swimming, golfing, RC (radio controlled) boating club....on and on ....clubs for everything, AND, party's at the square all the time... Discussing this subject with another person who tends to need more "alone" time (like me) ...seems ...we get re-charged by Nature and solitude....our conclusion is....some people re-charge from socializing and being with others more. Maybe they will get the RV out of storage someday...it's only been 1 year... from: Mike ( at 62 years young, still riding a regular bike... yet, those e-bikes are cool for sure)

Liz: "And when you think about the things that you have, they all take time to clean, to maintain, to take care of. I'm free of all that....". Are you? In an RV??? From what I've seen and read it appears that RV life involves constant demands on one's time to maintain the RV, find and prepare food (tiny or no refrigerator or freezer), stay clean (small shower or no shower area), and go to the toilet (need to constantly deal with monitoring and getting rid of black water and gray water). Add to that having to constantly maintain all of the RV's sub-systems which undergo rapid wear-and-tear due to constant use: The engine, the tires, the AC, the heating system, the slides, the electrical system, the plumbing system, etc.. Living a house involves lots of maintenance, yes, but a lot of the things on my To-Do maintenance list are non-critical issues that I don't need to get to quickly like mowing the lawn or getting and spreading mulch or painting a fence. Not quite the same being in an RV and having an engine, or AC, or slide problem.

All as I can tell you, Samuel, is that I have TONS of free time compared to living in a house. I'm talking hours and hours more each week. Your mileage may vary. When you watch the tour of my motorhome you'll see I have a fullsize residental fridge, adequate counterspace and a roomy bathroom. Be sure to think of your space needs before buying an RV.

This is something my husband and I have thought about...but we are debt free...entirely debt free. Selling our house would be perhaps a financial no no in the long run. We already have our truck and fifth wheel. We are weekend warriors and retired. It boils down to a sense of security. Our house is a financial asset, can't say that about an RV. This life does call to us though. Sometimes we just feel stuck. ( I am interested in other's thoughts on this topic.) Perhaps I romanticize it.🤔

Hi Christy! Now that the market is so hot, it might be a good time to sell and just bank those funds. Buy a condo years down the line if you ever feel done with RV life. But first, since you are retired, plan some longer trips. Looking forward to seeing you out here and thanks for watching.

I sure think I would. I’ve been RV in so birding now you know and I’m not sure if I can give up everything but maybe I can I have two homes that are paid for and if I sold them I could get something and have a stash for repairs and all that sort of thing And I think I would love it because I always have. I’ve always love the scenery. Personally, I love to get out on the road and just see what all God made. I love his creation. I love to talk to him while I drive when I’m home I get depressed I guess that’s my answer right there. I watch everybody else having fun. Can’t wait till I can get back out there. I have to save because I have Property TAX and all the expenses of two houses so maybe I need to do what you’re talking about find a nicer rig tow my transportation.

Tip about how to avoid the disaster Liz experienced with her dream house-turned nightmare: Visit the neighborhood during the day during the workweek, and also on the weekend. During the weekend trip, take the time to knock on the doors of neighbors of where you could live to ask them their opinion of the neighborhood, e.g. traffic, type of neighborhood, etc. Doing so when I house hunting some years ago kept me from buying a place downwind from a huge pig farm, and if you know how awful the smell can be, you know why I chose to bail on that too-good-to-be-truth home offering.

That all works in a normal world but our world has been far from normal in the last 3 years now..In our local real estate market here in AR if you find a house that you like for sale, you don't have the time to do all the research on the neighbors ect. Most houses sell within the first 24 hrs so that doesn't leave time for any of that. Basically, if you can find a house that you like, you better snatch it up before someone else does! Sooo many people are fleeing the big cities in search of a more calmer and slower (quality) way of life these days. We have a motorhome that we use but absolutely can't wait till the day we can sell off and hit the road full time too! There is soooo much to see out there in Merica!!! Some people love full time travel others don't. We love it!!! We totally relate Liz!! Rock on girl!!!! 💪
