We sold everything for full-time rv living ...was it worth it? (OUR 2 YEAR CONFESSIONS)

[@dorisshanks7295]

I am a solo RVer in a small Class A coach. No tow car. At age 92, I look at my “home” and feel so thankful to have it. I think about how I would be living if I did not have this rig. I would be in a small not so upscale apt. or worse, an assisted living. Lonely and friendless. Costs would be straining my income, leaving me unable to travel or enjoy buying any extras. I would be stuck in one place. No redecorating or upgrading in an apt. I am thankful I have my own affordable space, decorating it as I choose, upgrading when I can, and moving to a different location if I don’t like where I am or just want to see something new. I also treasure the many friends I have made from all over the country. I can do all this and pay off debt and save and invest to improve my finances. Yes I am so thankful for living the RV lifestyle. I will never leave it until I am forced to because of ill health or injury. Yes I will die in my RV. lol!

[@suec2117]

Doris thank you for such a wonderful description of what I want my life to be. I was just thinking I’m too old to do full time when I saw your comment! I’ve been doing camping trips for years and had different rigs. May you be blessed beyond measure.

[@dianaherring8594]

Oh my goodness! If you can do it I am going to head out in spring 2025 in my travel trailer! What an encouragement! Bumping 70…

[@dianaherring8594]

Oh my goodness! Doris, you go young lady!! Do you stay in RV Parks? Boondock? How do you save money?? As a near future RV’er in my new to me but used Travel Trailer, I am in fear my SS income won’t get me out of debt & travel the USA. I’ve took care of everyone else over 50 yrs & only have my 86 y/o mom left. She can go if wants or stay home as in good health. I lost everything tragically about 6-7 yrs ago, no home anymore, multiple surgeries bankrupt me, cost great debt I’m trying to pay off. I live with folks to care for them. Dad’s gone now. It’s my turn to see the country!! Bumping 70 & slightly disabled now & forced into retirement after the accident. I would love any of your advise!! God Bless you on your journey!!

[@foxesfouracres629]

We RV differently than most full-time people do. We live in our RV full time, but we only move twice a year. We didn't sell everything. We have the adult kids and grandkids living in our house. We park our house right in our pasture for the summer and spend good quality time with the family. Then we go to the beach for the winter and enjoy our adventures together. It is awesome for us.

[@liketheresnotomorrow]

@@foxesfouracres629 that’s exactly the plan I had in my own mind to do, but unfortunately it was just my wish list. Because my young adult children just aren’t old enough for that sweet set up, yet. A longing of my heart.

[@lcclark1307]

Good idea! Have a base or a couple of base sites, where you live w/o constant moving along road and country. We lived on sailboat and it’s exhausting being on the go w/ weather etc. Also, maybe add few annual airline trips to visit loving friends and family who boost you up:) 💓🌅

My husband and I Full-timed for 4 years back in 2013. The things you listed and shared here are real considerations. After 4 years of moving every 3 weeks, my husband and I were really tired. We had a 19ft travel trailer with no laundry & small corner shower. If we had a better shower and more income to spend on monthly spots, we probably would have continued the journey longer. Lots of pros and cons to consider with this lifestyle and this video covers a good chunk of them. Great job & good luck to you both!

[@liketheresnotomorrow]

Thanks so much

[@Jkaye13]

I agree.. we have owned a travel trailer for years and camped with our kids since they were very young. It IS a lot of work to set up and take down and probably not something l would want to do full time, as l am always ready to go home and sleep in my bed after a camping trip.. l love to camp and my husband and l continue to camp 2-3 times a year; my plan has always been to take the camper south for the winter and be a 'snowbird'.. but waiting for the hubby to retire to do that.

[@WitchDoctor420]

Wow, thanks. My wife and I are looking into this, full time. We're still looking into what RV to go for and what all we need to plan for. In our late 30s and early 40s. As a disabled vet and it seems like 2k a month seems like it's worth doing. Looking forward to meeting and doing much more research on you all. We're kinda like excited kids who still have to wait. What all should we also consider regarding safety, health and good environment we can establish with an RV. Are there groups that we can meet? Who all should we talk to or real questions to ask? I'm just excited and asking anything that we should know and consider. Thanks for the time. Semper Fi

[@Hotmessexpressadventures]

Instant follow ❤ your story about your Dad touched me. I’ve been solo full time in my 26ft toy hauler for 3 years; just me, my dog and my Harley. My son joined the service right after high school (total surprise to me!) and I retired from the service when I was 38. I tried the rat race of healthcare as a nurse, then a nurse practitioner and as much as I loved my patients, I was miserable. I saw my Dad die suddenly when he was only 49 years old. It changed everything about how I viewed life. No longer was it something that just happens, but the fragility became so real to me. I found myself turning 44 and it hit me that I had this lengthy bucket list I hadn’t even started on…so I sold everything I owned, bought a truck and my trailer, saw my son off to his first duty start after boot camp and hit the road. I’ve cleared a lot of my bucket list and have new things I’ve added. Tomorrow is never, ever promised. People always say to me “I wish I could do what you do” or “I wish I was brave enough” or my personal un-favorite “hopefully soon, someday”. Someday might not be there when you are ready for it. Live well, travel more, find peace and joy; whatever that means to you…but do it now. Make it happen. You will never regret taking the chance, I promise.

[@liketheresnotomorrow]

Beautiful

[@Jkaye13]

I just retired as a nurse after almost 40 years, and l wholeheartedly agree with your description of the medical field as a 'rat race!' It definitely has changed over the years into something l don't even want to be a part of anymore.. it's no longer about the patient, only about $$ I am trying to catch my breath and focus on what my retirement will look like.. so far it has been about deep cleaning my house, and decluttering and trying to reduce belongings after years of collecting things and raising five kids..! l would like to simplify my life and possibly downsize homes, and that starts with minimalizing what we have. I have always wanted to be a snowbird, and go south for the winters.. but that hasn't happened yet.

[@sissinoklahoma2057]

Same, but it was my mother. She and my dad had all of these big plans... The kids were gone. We had a 5 bedroom house. We had lived for everyone else in our lives except ourselves. We sold everything and paid cash for our new home on wheels. 2 years in with zero regrets. Husband and I are discovering so much every single day. We are living life wide open now because it's never too early, but we have seen that it can be too late. Happy Travels to everyone!

[@scenicdriveways6708]

Good morning from Kentucky, My wife Jo-Ann and I were Full Time RVing for just over 2 1/2 yrs. Although we had some great times Full Time RVing, and met some great friends along the way, there were also a lot of bad times as well, mostly from bad campers who purchased RV's, but never took the time to learn any camping etiquette. I had a serious health issue, and we were over 2hrs from any hospital who could deal with it. (I've had 4 stomach surgeries already) Luckly it sorted itself out that time. We had to deal with some really sketchy people in National Forest where there was no cell service. Going through Kanab, Utah the engine blew in our pickup truck, and cost us $8,000 to have a new engine put in. We had our share of ups and downs, but we're glad we got to experience Full Time RVing, and we're glad for the friends we made while on the road. After 2 1/2 years, we had enough of full timing. So, we sold our travel trailer and bought a small 2-bedroom home in Barren County, KY. We feel more comfortable and relaxed in our sticks & bricks home now, than when we lived in our RV. RVing was fun, but it's nowhere near as easy or as glamorous as some KZbinrs make it out to be. Have a Fun, Safe & Blessed 4th of July weekend guys. JT

[@liketheresnotomorrow]

Great insights. Thanks for sharing.

[@Jkaye13]

Right.. it seems ok for a time, until people just get tired of the 'work' it requires to do it.. l can see wanting to travel to experience new things and see new places, but at some point, you have crossed everything off the bucket list, or just get too tired to keep doing it.. and at $60 a night, or upwards of $800 a month to 'set up camp', there's nothing cheap about it.. and that doesn't even account for the wear and tear of 'blowing an engine' or having something go wrong with the rv..

Thanks for posting. Hubby and I are close to being on the road. I understand your "whys". My mom kept waiting for retirement. Hated her job and couldn't wait. She finally got there and got the chance and she got cancer. She passed away at 63. I'm 57. I don't want to do that. I've worked hard to pay off debt and get things in the right place and all of that is to clear the way to do what we've always wanted to do. I'm trying not to miss my chance. See you on the road. 😁

[@daydreamer0923]

Yeah buddy 👋😁

[@kathyeberly366]

We are full timers for 4 years now. The tip I have is for travel days. If we have to leave early, we get everything ready possible the day before. We close all the slides and climb into bed. We unhook everything except the electricity. It makes early departures so much less stressful.

[@liketheresnotomorrow]

Excellent advice

[@allentowngal4769]

I've been solo fulltime for 5.5 yrs. Its just life. The biggest thing I can stress is DO THE MATH. It can be as cheap or expensive as you can afford. Im a wildlife/ environmental lover. I do some touristy stuff, but mostly just like to avoid snow, see new places, and visit family. If you are able... I HIGHLY RECOMMEND BEING DEBT FREE! I sold my house of 22 yrs,started debt free, paid cash for my rv. It makes all the difference to me to not have debt and actually enjoy my retirement. Cant stress enough to know what kind of traveler you want to be, how much junk you want to lug around, and how often you want to break camp or easily run to a store or tourist sites. I have a B+ rv so its my only transportation. I researched rigs for 2+ yrs & had rv techs look over my choices. I love my rig & the lifestyle & like everything in life- some things suck. I also am a single female for last 27 yrs, stubbornly independent, have TWO tool boxes, not afraid to fix basic things, install a faucet, build a fire, dump stinky tanks, etc. Someone once told me rv living is just the same as normal life, vehicle problems, house repairs & maintenance...except they're on an earthquake everyday! 😂

My husband and I are both Navy retirees (he did 21 and I did 24) and have been full timing for 2 1/2 years with no regrets. If I had known the life was like this, I would have bought an RV when we returned to the states from my last overseas assignment (11 years in Japan) instead of buying a house. I studied RV life for five years before taking the plunge. I contacted every manufacturer, watched every RV KZbinr, went back to school (at age 65) and got my diesel technician certification, sold the 2500 sq. ft. house and gave away everything in it. We moved from Norfolk, VA for the more tax friendly Houston, Texas. Signed up with Escapees in Livingston, Texas as a domicile address and for mail forwarding and February 2022, we bought a 2013 Tiffin Phaeton 40 ft motorhome and began this amazing adventure on the road...LIFE IS SOOOOO GOOD!!!!

We are considering coming to shore to RV fulltime. We sold the house and I left my good job of 20 years at a cement plant. I have no regrets going all in but I can say its definitely not as easy as many make it appear. Our family loves the travel and adventure and we look forward to our next adventure together.

My wife and I absolutely believe it was worth it for us to go fulltime traveling 7 years ago. We were so done with the so called "American Dream". We had it all a very nice home, 5 kids and now 9 grand kids and 4 great grand kids. The thing is we felt something was missing, I had retired from 21 yrs in the military and she retired early from a great accounting job which she loved but we still wanted more. When we decided to hit the road we were more than ready for a new adventure and this has been the best 7yrs. Was it hard to leave family somewhat, but we see them more now than before. We get to see old and new friends more, so overall it has been amazing and we look forward to many, many, many more years on the road.

I've just started taking 2 and 3 week trips in a small, rebuilt class C and find the planning part to be a bit daunting. A lot of the RV campground apps aren't great or else not easy to navigate, the dog has to be on a leash a lot of the time in the parks, or else I'm worried he'll get lost, and sometimes I feel like there's no wilderness left. But I know I'll figure out a system with practice and when I'm out I love it and never want to come back. Then something else rattles loose and I can come home and regroup for the next try.

We used to RV but we had young kids & weren’t retired. 20:32 Set up & take down time was exhausting. Parks where we would get spaces required reservations 6 - 12 months in advance.

[@fzt6ktoonolxavbjgv]

New subscriber from Bloomington, Minnesota. You two are definitely easy listening. Thank you for your raw and real approach. You make it easy to understand and you spark interest because of your delivery method. And I don't even RV! but I do have friends that do. I most definitely will be sharing your channel with them. Have a Blessed day/life.

Awesome! Thank you!

[@kelleyramsey2642]

We began looking at this lifestyle in 2019. My husband is retired due to a disability. I was planning to work until 65 but covid hit and as a letter carrier I was forced to work out away from the safety of home. I decided to retire at 62 instead and we had plans to buy a house in NC which didn't work out. So we rented out our house and moved to an apartment to downsize. We decided to start rv life a few months before I retired. Now more than 1 yr on the road we love it. Our kids & grands live in 6 different states...now we go visit them. No regrets. 😊

Love that you now get to cost the grands more. Thanks for watching.

[@paulab984]

You are two VERY talented and creative people. The wine skirts are absolutely fabulous! I found you two recently with the video about Darlene's injury and hope she's doing much better. I saw your dogs and knew I'd like you and then your honest & open way of presenting yourselves along with your soft heart and tears are so real and appealing. PLEASE don't apologize for having a tender heart - the world needs lots more tender hearts. We're getting ready to do a 6 week trip (our longest in our 13 years of RVing) soon to East Glacier, Banff, West Glacier, Yellowstone & Tetons and hope we won't kill each other. All our other trips nearly that long included other people so we'll see how we fare, LOL! We think we'll be fine and actually love being in our little Winnebago View so much that we're sad when we come home. Sadly, we're traveling dogless this time - our last of 2 Cavaliers passed away unexpectedly in April (very hard!), but we'll be getting a dog this winter. I'm glad to have found your channel so I can binge your KZbins during this upcoming trip - looking forward to enjoying your adventures.

[@liketheresnotomorrow]

Thank you so much! Your trip sounds epic!!! Those are all places we have yet to visit. Enjoy every second

You two are adorable. I am glad I found your channel. I thought I would like the nomadic life but as an older single widow I couldn't do it. I live in my RV on a friends property.

[@liketheresnotomorrow]

It’s wonderful you are finding a way to enjoy rv life! Thank you so much for watching. We appreciate it.

[@benweber5186]

Wife and I are a couple of yrs away from your situation and just started researching if this is for us. The only reason I clicked on your vid is because of the Oberlin Merch. We live 10 min down the road from the college. Thank you for the video, lots of food for thought. We are looking forward to both being empty nesters and rv’ers.

[@liketheresnotomorrow]

Ha! Oberlin for the win. Our daughter is a third year swimmer there. Such a pretty school an area. Let us know if you have any questions. We are actually working on an online course for going full time Rv. Stay tuned.

[@JanieandRichardsAdventures]

I loved your video- so honest! I feel like we live parallel lives. We are living full time for 2 years in our 44 ft 5th wheel and we have been married for 33 years- together for 35. Your video speaks to me and I can TOTALLY relate!!! Thank you for sharing!!

[@liketheresnotomorrow]

That so cool. Hope we can connect in the road sometime. Thanks for watching

[@stormchasertmo]

Thank you for making this video! We are in the empty nest phase of life too and trying to figure it all out. Definitely feeling like the time is now to be active and enjoy traveling while we still can. That’s one of the reasons we bought a Jeep a few years ago. We’ve camped out of it and been able to see some beautiful places, but this is a whole other level! Very cool!

[@liketheresnotomorrow]

There’s a whole jeep community within the Rv community. They do lots of meetups. Good luck on your journey

[@jasonleicht3436]

Probably the best video put out. Appreciate your honesty

[@liketheresnotomorrow]

Wow thanks so much

[@lifeswhimsytutelage]

Hello. We are glad you are out here on the road with the rest of us. For people with families I am sure this is a much harder challenge. Patience, hassles and drama are all part of the journey. Trip planning is OMG!! Decision fatigue is so real!! There is maintenance in a sticks & bricks, and critters that get in the house, it's just different in an RV. Safe Travels.

[@liketheresnotomorrow]

Thank you so much!

[@thegoodoldways]

Yes, to the letting go of our work/volunteer/hobbies etc. Having those things of the past that gave us our identity- is a big deal. But it gives us as couples a new vista view and a new way of being together without all the things that distract. It is kind of like falling in love again with the person we first fell in love with. Just us and being a bit self focused for the first time in 35 years. Putting each other first again. And navigating that has a learning curve that is so worth it. We literally have served hundreds of meals and changed hundreds of sets of sheets in our home - most of our married life. Hospitality and generosity is important to us. We also have friends all over the nation because of it. It is interesting to be thinking of our we-ness/us-ness and learning to have each other be the main priority and focus. It is living in Wonderland and hard can be good. It isn't not ever having problems but it is dealing with problems in a healthy way and forgiving and apologizing and getting right again. Life is NOT all rose colored glasses and being real and having a life style be worth it is the point. Well said!!!!!! Love your wisdom! Thanks for being honest and real! What you are sharing is so valuable. You are an asset in this community!

[@liketheresnotomorrow]

What a beautiful thing to share with everyone. Thank YOU.

[@k-mparker]

Goooood video guys!!! We have been FT almost 2 years now and this video really resonates!!! The moving can sometimes be a hassle with the setup/breakdown of a fifth wheel. We love the boondocking/drycamping aspect bcuz it simplifies the setup/breakdown side of it. Our 3 kids are scattered across the country and having the 5ver make it easier to spend more quality time with them as well as other family members and friends…a big plus!!! 👍😃🍻

I'm in the same boat with losing my job and now trying to figure out health insurance. It will be my biggest expense if I go full-time. I can teach online, but those jobs are only part-time. What did you end up doing about health insurance?

[@tsrvadventures3219]

Seems like our story parallels a lot of your story. The Wife and I have known each other since we rode the school bus together, born and raised in small town Indiana near Kokomo. Left IN the day we got married 46 years ago for CA since I was in the military at the time, and our base was near Fresno CA. After the military both of us worked corporate jobs, computers and healthcare and our civilians jobs moved us around America. Since marriage we have been nomads and explorers living where ever corporate America sent us, so it has been easier for us to transition to fulltime RV living. We've never had that comfort zone of living in the same place all our married lives, never missed it either. Ended up our working life near Austin TX for over 20 years. We waited a little longer than y'all, fully retired, joined Escapee's, sold everything and hit the road fulltiming. Has been 4 years now fulltiming, still keeping domicile in TX. Now both of us are on Medicare. Going from 2 acres of land and a 3000 sq ft home to less than 400 sq ft in a 38 ft RV. Couples have to like each other or it isn't going to work fulltiming, but also each needs their space once in a while. Oh, and the spats you will have, shoot we have been having those for 46 years!! LOL's! Lots of family, including children and grand children still lives in Indiana and Ohio, we get up there at least once a year in the spring or summer to visit for multiple months. Yes we have had to drop everything and our plans to return across country to IN/OH for emergencies and the deaths of family members. Otherwise we travel America, spend winters in Galveston and start the process over every year beginning in April.. Yes it is essential to keep an emergency fund, spare parts, tools and the knowledge and skill to make on the road repairs yourself. Otherwise it's going to get expensive fast, or you will be waiting for hours/days for help. Keep an emergency roadside kit in your truck/RV, tire jacks, safety triangles/flairs, reflective vests, ratchet straps, gloves, tie downs, flash lights etc. Keep access to your roadside emerg kit on the passenger side of your truck or RV away from passing traffic. If you can't rely on yourself, then you will end up hating the RV life and then start posting RV hate KZbins. We had our first major break down in 4 years on the road this August near Richmond Indiana. Broke an axle leaf spring tie bolt on I70. Interstate 70 from Indianapolis to the Ohio border has got to be the worst pot holed highway in America! Anyway got the RV off the interstate and replaced the leaf spring ourselves in a Bob Evans parking lot, then got to our campground for the night. Going RV fulltime - You have got to be self reliant, work together, willing to take whatever comes your way, deal with it and move on. Still we wouldn't trade our current lifestyle to go back. Still on the road, still loving every minute of every day. Been to a lot of spectacular places all over the US. Knoxville area near Heiskell TN is looking really good for when we finally get off the road, settle back down, hopefully many more years from now.. Keep making it real!

[@abundantlifeadventuresdona1918]

we listed our home in Central Florida one week ago and we are going to go full-time RVing but my husband still has to work at remodeling. Which she does locally for a while anyway so we’re going to plug-in at our daughters 1 mile away. We are right now, sorting dumping packing selling, every time someone buys a chest, everything gets dumped and we start over again. Today we tackled the garage and all the storage at the front. I am having my annual watercolor sale this weekend in the middle of all of this. We are having a moving sale the following weekend. And our realtor is having an open house the following weekend and we sure pray that will be able to sell the home so that we can buy a smaller. We’ve never had a vacation. We’ve been married 58 years. We’re ready for a break. I enjoyed your video very much. I’m gonna send it to my husband. He’s sleeping in a chair right now. It’s hot day.

Great video. I'm ex-military and that's been the extent of anything that smells like "RV-life"...mostly just tent-life. But, I've driven some large machines, towed some large equipment, and I am certainly used to the unexpected. I'll never be a KZbin'er...I'm just not socially inclined enough, but I do expect the need for a mobile office. Your setups are great so I expect I'll be binging your videos to get some insight into desk-anchoring and such. I appreciate you folks, cheers.

In the non-shoulder seasons, we live on two acres in an 80 YO home that we love. We have a barn, 1280 squaare foot garden and a pool we can swim laps in. We actually find rig time relaxing...

[@travelingwithtroyandrhoda]

We have a lot of similarities to you two. Full time since Oct 31, 2022. Work full time from the road. Similar ages. Married 31 years. But real good content! But we did have our first grand born in January this year so he makes it harder to leave Omaha when we pass through twice a year. But we keep going and do lots of FaceTime. I’m the social one so my trip to walk the trash out can turn into an hour because I talk to strangers! We have connected with several that we stay in touch with and even plan our winter destination together with. But we also go see friends and family around the country. Mostly when they are at or on the way to our planned destination. We reduced conflict during setup by using radios and deciding how to describe what needs to happen, like when backing up, etc. Keep sharing your journey!
