Steps to Full Time RV (HOW WE DID IT) - Full Time RV Living

[@RVersity]

It took me a year to sell, donate, trash, and figure out what to keep of my belongings. The transition to full time RV life is a process. I wish I would have started preparing way earlier than I did. This is a great step by step explainer for newbies! Very informative ❤

[@todayissomeday]

Thanks for sharing!

[@rogerkern]

Helped a little bit? Omg wealth of information. Loved it, we have already completed two purges and wow we don’t miss any of that stuff. Even though we know we have some time in front of us still we are already in the mindset of will it fit in the rv. So till then we are doing everything we can to learn as much as we can.

[@todayissomeday]

We are so glad we were able to help out! We really wanted this video to be informative! Hope to see you on the road one day!

[@debbie4315]

This just came through my feed and right on time. I'm going full-time in June 2023 and I'm having a range of emotions...happiness, anxiety, fear of the unknown, even sadness to leave my teaching career. Working on my lists and plans. Such a helpful video.

[@alorenzo209]

Starting to full time RV this fall. This is very helpful. 👍🏽

[@todayissomeday]

Great to hear!

[@MoonChylde0622]

I'm going back to the beginning of the video list and working through. I've watched several here and there, but nothing chronological. It's really great to watch how quickly the both of you warmed to the camera and became organically conversational. * Chuckle * Phil looked a bit uncomfortable on those first few videos. And then, bam! He was into it and chatty. ❤️ Great tips and encouragement, but with honesty! One of the things I enjoy the most is how authentic and relaxed you both are when addressing the audience.

[@todayissomeday]

Thanks so much!

[@virginiausher2110]

Newbie, 65 and getting ready to go full time. I lost my husband in Jan. 2023 and bought a Class C, plus a E-bike and really hoping for a great experience. Your videos have helped me more than you know. Still scared but feel like there will always be help out there. My biggest fears are LP gas, running the generator properly and mapping out my net pit stop.

[@stevecloninger1508]

I just found your video series and I have only one problem...I'm supposed to be working but can't stop watching! I plan to go full time in the next two years and you have great info in these sets. THANK YOU!!!

[@todayissomeday]

Sounds like a good problem to have from over here!

[@mikeramsay5964]

Your videos are a good example of why it's useful to watch various videos on the same subject. I have seen countless videos about getting started in the RV lifestyle. I have learned something from everyone of them and yours is one of the top ones I've seen. If you ever think, "There are so many videos about (whatever)", forget that thought and make the video anyway. Everyone has their own slant and original ideas. Keep 'em coming. I love it. Thank you.

[@todayissomeday]

Thanks!

[@shelbyhowe7927]

LOVE Dave Ramsey!! My husband and I just finished paying off our debt and almost done with baby step 3. We are preparing to buy an travel trailer and hit the road! Love your videos, thank you!

[@shelleyspurgeon2095]

I am going back through your early videos. I am planning to go fulltime on my own (very scary) in less than 3 years, sooner if I can swing it. I am a science teacher and am getting to that point that retirement is starting to call my name. My little dog and I will be on the road in the fairly near future. Your videos are wonderful! I have found myself binging videos and then realizing I am and hour past bedtime with a full day of teaching science looming in the morning. Yikes! I am window shopping RVs and hoping that the one I have my heart set on will drop in price (COVID buyers selling off in a few years) to a much better deal...with the plus of someone else working out some of the bugs of a new RV. I live in a relatively small place now but I have expanded to fill every nook so now I am looking at the purge. I have started with my closet. I have several bags of very nice clothing to donate to my local charity. The hard part will be my sewing room. I love to sew and a sewing machine will travel with me but at the moment I have 4 of them and I have to wean myself off of three of them. Thanks for all your great information. Hope to run in to you sometime in the future on the road.

[@RVersity]

Smart Shelley! Take you time, research and plan. Sounds like you're already on the right track. And, I agree on the Covid buyers. They'll be a huge sell off in the next few years! Maybe even sooner. Can't wait to see you on the road :)

[@RVLIVING]

Love seeing the Boulevard T Shirt! I live in KC and they have some of the tastiest beers. "The Calling" is my favorite. See you "on the road"

[@laticecarpenter5887]

I love you all's video. Straight to the point with alot of helpful information and resources! Not all over the place. This is the first video I've seen of you, I hope there's alot more. You all are very easy to listen to. Thank you.

[@todayissomeday]

La'Tice Carpenter thank you so much!! We really try not to ramble on and on which is not always easy since it is a subject we love! Thanks for watching. We have more videos with more on the way. Please subscribe and come back to see us again! Safe travels

[@redroofretriever]

I've been binge watching for hours, from your beginning to here. I love the fact that you are posting these very informational videos. Very good information. Your creative and fun sides shine in most. Thank you both for your service to our country. Is there a Bio video coming in the line up? Safe travel wishes for you. Go Navy!

[@todayissomeday]

We have a very short bio that is our intro video. It is the very first video we uploaded. I am not sure people want to know much more that that! We are pretty boring....lol.

[@suzannek3406]

Hey Stacey and Phil. It’s Suzanne from DGD. My hubs and I are really thinking hard about going full time RV in a year or so. I’m gonna be watching all your videos, thanks so much for posting this. I hope we can meet up with you guys on the road sometime in the next few years.

[@redman7004]

Got my wife and I a used open road 34tga. We are leaving March 15 to try rving long term. We are both retired and debt free. We have a beautiful 4800 sq feet home in north Alabama on the tenn River. We want be selling its paid for family here.we need a home base. But sure hope to meet you to someday. Going to start slow a few weeks at a time just to try it. We have been camping in a trailer for several years now. But class a is new to us and we are a few years older than you guys. So pray for us. We will need it. Rick....

[@EmpressEnterprises]

Great advice....again! Thank You -- One thing that I haven't seen from all the videos that i am watching about "prepping" for full timers is make sure your teeth are in good health!!! I'm planning on leaving in May and I have a great dentist here --- As a previous world traveler, I have experienced tooth pain in remote places and it is NO fun!! So I am getting all my teeth checked and cleaned before I head out! Just saying.... ;)

[@todayissomeday]

Great point Jenn. You have to have good chiclets or travel would be very unpleasant. We are fortunate to have good dental, but know many who migrate to Mexico for dental work.

[@RoamingWithRosie]

So many go to Mexico. But they haven't been able to go because of Pandemic. I will add that to our checklist.

[@mamabear1078]

We have an almost 4 yr old son, three dogs and are going full time in January!!! I’m sooo excited, but my hubby is a bit more nervous about the whole thing. My son absolutely loves his “MoHome “ so going full time will be a dream come true for him. We currently have Tiffin gas but will be upgrading to a diesel next year. Wish us luck! I can’t wait for all the adventures!

[@todayissomeday]

That is awesome!

[@linneanchuckmatson6729]

Awesome video! We are huge Dave Ramsey fans and he has changed our whole outlook on life and money. We currently have our house up for sale and our new 5th wheel is sitting in the driveway waiting for us. We will not be traveling (yet), but will be staying in the same town we work in. We right now just want to be free from STUFF and a house that we don't even utilize half of and it is just the two of us (kids grown and gone!!). Thank you for sharing!

[@todayissomeday]

Thanks for watching! We were in the same situation: kids gone and a huge house we did utilize! I hope you find freedom from your stuff. We certainly did.

[@karenhayes6148]

I watch a lot of RV videos since we just bought a motorhome and you guys are the best! I love your interaction and humor (you can laugh at yourselves via the bloopers)! When I started watching before we made the big purchase, we got a lot of great information and it really, really helped. Thanks for sharing personal feelings and stories... it makes it more relatable.

[@todayissomeday]

Thanks Karen! I am so glad it was helpful to you. That was really our goal in the beginning. I hope you are loving your new lifestyle.

[@lindarose2837]

Good video with great advice - especially about being debt free before going on the road full time. I'm glad to see Phil is throwing in his two cents more often - lol. But seriously, both of you bring a lot of good advice, suggestions, and even humor to the content you produce, which is quite refreshing. Keep doing what you are doing 'cuz it's working out well so far! Safe travels!

[@todayissomeday]

Thanks for the great comments Linda. Phil is getting more comfortable in front of the camera, but will gladly be the funny sidekick!! LOL Our goal is to be as helpful as we can.

[@PistolPeat]

Thank you, Dave. Changes our life too. Cash is king.

[@paulatoups674]

My husband and I are both Navy Veterans. We are very much Newbies! You have open my eyes on the purging which I need to start! Love your ideas also.... and look forward to one day meeting y’all!

[@kellie-u2i]

House sold in 2 days😳 storage unit way too big😮picking up rig in 8 days😊 can’t sleep a full night😴feel like a kid before Disney. I’m so full of joy and anxiety ! I have list upon lists. I’m glad there will be people out there willing to spread there knowledge! We are coming 🎉

[@todayissomeday]

Whoop, whoop!! CONGRATS!!! It is the best feeling in the world. We know exactly how you feel! Have fun and go slow out of the gates. Hope we run into you in the wild. Make sure you join our community page on FB and check out our crew page on our website.

[@queenbetsy2]

We just discovered your channel yesterday and have been binge watching. We’ve decided to start at the beginning and this is the video we ended on tonight. We have taught Dave Ramsey at our church for over 10 years now. The stories we hear are amazing. Our plan is to go full time when we do we retire in three years. We have watched a lot of full-time RV years over the past couple of years, but your channel is the one we can most relate to. We love your down to earth videos and the way you relate with each other. We also like the way you talk about the practicalities of RVing. We live in Washington state and have a 29 foot travel trailer on a lake about 30 miles from our house. We spend most of our summers there, coming home just to do laundry and mow the grass! It’s well within commuting distance. We plan to start our full-timing life with that trailer and our truck. We are completely debt-free and we want to be able to put all proceeds from our house sale into savings to buy something when we do stop RVing. We’re looking forward to watching more of your videos until we catch up with your present day. Blessings, the Queen’s.

[@todayissomeday]

Awesome!! I agree with you completely and people should have an exit plan! I am going to include this in our next video series. We also invested our house money for the next house. I did not want to put it into a depreciating asset. Thanks for hanging out with us! So glad you are not waiting for 3 years to start RVing. If we could change one thing that would be the one. See ya out there one day!

[@windyvful]

Such great advise for anyone buying an RV...not just for full timers. The only thing I would add is to put some cash aside for all the "stuff" you need to purchase to get your RV on the road. Surge protector, black and gray water hoses, portable black tank for boondocking, water pressure regulator, fresh water hoses, "dogbones" so you can connect to 30amp or 50amp or house power, RV Garmin, etc. We estimate that stuff cost us close to $2000. Plus a few thousand more for a generator.

[@todayissomeday]

That is great advice!! It all adds up so quickly. Thanks for watching.

[@dalekundtz4603]

Thanks for the informative video.

[@todayissomeday]

Thanks for joining us!

[@lorienoch5107]

You had me at Dave Ramsey! 👍 Great information!

[@leighannpfannenstiel3115]

We love watching all your videos....so helpful and interesting! Loved “I’m a natural born purger!” Me too...I’m a minimalist!

[@RVersity]

Ditto!

[@chrisrasmussen3822]

Not giving up home base. Doing the snow bird thing. SO has a big family so lots of driveway surfing. Boon docking and trips further our. Working a new résumé geared to more general work. Work in my field, but amplifying my older skills (like truck driving). So I can do IT work, or drive a truck as a part time job. Not a big DM fan, sorry . Did it on my own when working lots. Have a short term CD with the campers name on it lol. Paperless, easy.

[@todayissomeday]

A lot of folks keep their home. That is the beauty of RVing you can adapt it to what works best for you. Safe travels

[@m2c2treks]

Thanks for encouraging people to not live in debt! We led many Financial Peace University classes at our church.

[@davesuddreth3749]

Oh yes. We will be going full time in 8 years and I can't wait to meet you guys when we go out on the road. Will it be, "oh wow, I remember you from the Midway, or will our faces have changed so much that we won't. I plan to get into motorized wheel chair races with you. Lol

[@Lavendaraw]

I would love a sit down with a full time family- I’ve been following and watching you and others for years now. I’m so ready, but we have a few years. It’s so hard to wait, plan and prepare, in waiting, there’s doubt. A double of wanting to jump in, but knowing to plan as much as possible.

[@russpottenger4674]

Just came across your channel. Just subscribe and looking forward to following the both of you. God bless the both of you and thank you for your service.

[@todayissomeday]

Thank you so much Russ! That means the world to us! Thanks for watching and Safe travels.

[@kenhermes8512]

Great video. Huge Dave Ramsey fan too. Sold the house in May and plan to launch next April. Hope to see you on the road

[@todayissomeday]

Thanks Ken. We certainly wouldn't be where we are today without Dave's advice. A meet up would be nice.

[@leonardpastrama6066]

My hubby retires in 6 months. We've been talking about renting our house for a year and trying Full time RVing. We're debt free other than a house payment. We can rent our house with a $800 a month income and we have about $3200 from retirement .we plan to buy our truck and 5th wheel used... Cash. All our family leave west coast so planning on really spending time with kids and grandkids after 18 yrs apart. We plan to take income from rental for our emergency fund along with $3000 to start.I've begun purging inside but my husband is a saver and it may take him all summer to clean out garage and his shop. This is a mission of love as we miss our family so much. If it weren't for them we'd be happy staying on our 5 acre home with views of 4 mountain ranges. If we like the nomad life we'll sell our home. Love you videos and all your great advice!

[@todayissomeday]

This mobile life has allowed us to visit so many of our family and friends! It is the best part of RVing. I hope you love it as much as we do! Safe travels

[@grandmac.168]

Thanks, guys. This was great. The two of you have become my favorite FTRV YT'ers! My husband and I are in our SECOND early planning stage, and we're thinking 2 to 2-1/2 years from now. We don't have a new RV yet but we'll be looking in the next year or so. There's so much to do (a house to clear, 2 garages) and I've started it. But I also just retired and the 2 years is waiting for my (slightly younger ;D) husband to catch up. He's working FT now, so there's that income still. He has his own little side business and he does REALLY WELL with that and we'll have that when we go. But the big question is: HOW DO YOU WAIT? For us, we have a plan worked out that's working for us. Since I'm newly retired, I dedicated different days of the week to the many different tasks in front of us. This is the only way I can stay focused or else my mind goes all around everything we need to do, and that just gets everything too jumbled up to accomplish any of it. On Mondays, I go through my files and determine what I'll need to keep in pdf format, and then scan, scan, scan! Anything we decide keep that won't actually go with us - including our paper files - we'll put in a cargo trailer we purchased that we'll park at my daughter's house for the time when we're done traveling. Every Tuesday is clearing-out day. I pick a room, start in one corner and move around the room, high and low, and back to the door - throwing things away, organizing what to sell, what to donate, and what to keep when we get an RV again. My worst room (my craft room) took 3 full Tuesdays! I practically had my own little store stocked up in that room, and holiday time is always hectic - things get pulled out, used (or not), and thrown to the side.... never actually put back away. So, your comment about NOT BUYING NEW STUFF really hit home with me. That's a super-critical point! I did frequent shoptainment for most of my life, semi-professional career, plenty of money. Now? I couldn't care less! I always shop now with that question foremost in mind: Is this something I'll use in the RV? Since we full-timed once before, and we know what tiny mobile living is all about, this part is really not hard for me now. But we had our reasons for buying a house again, and so we did that. And we filled it up with NEW STUFF. So while we know what we're getting into now, it's also a problem for us, because WE KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE ALREADY, and it IS freeing! It's hard because we're just really eager to get going again NOW, and we have to wait. Ugh. Every Wednesday is dedicated to researching different manufacturers and models of RVs, and associated things (domiciling, mail services, expenses, etc.). That's also when I watch your videos! :) A lot to consider. We have a very loose time frame we're working in. We know roughly when we want to do this or that, marching right up to our 2-years-from-now departure. I would say to anyone planning to full-time to not be hasty - don't get into something you're really unprepared for, and you don't know what you don't know! - but don't plan too far out either. Give yourself sufficient time to take care of everything you don't even realize you need to take care of, until you do. Thanks again, Phil and Stacy, for making great videos! They're fun, you're both very engaging as well as educated and informative, and I hope to meet up one day. Happy Trails! (Sorry this got so long!)

[@todayissomeday]

Great advice. Thanks for taking the time to share!

[@todayissomeday]

Thanks Yvon! Safe travels

[@conservativechristian8508]

Sorry, the other comment was meant for another content provider. You two are doing a super job. Dave Ramsey is solid advice for folks.

[@todayissomeday]

Thanks and safe travels.

[@dyanwatson7976]

Thank you so much for your comments about emotions as you move out of your home and into your RV. We are in the final stages and it is so hard. We are both looking forward to living full-time in our RV but it is an emotional roller coaster. One week and 1/3 of the house to go!

[@todayissomeday]

Hope all goes well! It was so worth it for us!

[@francietunes]

We are in the process! House is for sale and everything in it! I am the purger in the family. My husband has a 5000 sq fr shop and a 3 car garage that needs to be emptied! 🤪

[@todayissomeday]

Man, that is a big purge!! He will have a lot to do! Good luck.

[@markcloutier7317]

Gotta watch this again. Thanks for the info. Beginning to consider doing this. Had a plan a few years back, but Job loss made that tank bigly. Starting to plan and look again. Heading to Hershey for first time ever in 2020 with NO MONEY, to look & Learn.

[@todayissomeday]

Enjoy Hershey!

[@arcalba112]

Im a new commercial diver chasing work with that said i dont know where i am going (state) but willing to travel. Im going to purchase a fleetwood tiago 25g soon. My intent is to live offroad and save money while be mobile and ready to pick up work. When i pick up a contract off shore i intend to place the rv in storage. Im trying to avoid establishing a lease too then terminate a lease do to fluidity of work. My best guess is that rv fulltime might be the answer. Thank you for your service from a vet himself.

[@stevek6921]

You guys crack me up. Great team, great delivery style, great information! We bought our "bus" ten days ago and we are in the PURGE phase now. For the last year or so any new purchases had to meet the "will it fit on the bus?" criterion before it came through the front door. I sit here, looking at all the stuff IN THIS ONE ROOM and man... Time to buckle up, buckaroos. Thanks for this video. Catching up on all your older info. On to the next one! Steve

[@todayissomeday]

Thanks so much! Purging is hard but so worth it! Be ruthless! Good luck

[@stevek6921]

Ruthless! Good word. Thanks!

[@robertkinman3068]

Really have enjoyed watching your videos. The wife and I are 2 years from retirement and learning a lot from you to help us decide on what we need to start our road life adventure. Thank you, Robert & Ka from Biloxi, Ms.

Our pleasure!

[@teresasmith9721]

[@todayissomeday]

Our pleasure!

[@barb12311]

Thank you! I know you posted this years ago but it was great. We have bounced around the idea of going full time down the road. Right now we are looking at scanners to get ALLLLLL if our pictures scanned. We feel that is a 1st step. We have very little debt but debt free & a solid budget are in the works. This is 2021 and Class C's are hard to find. Hopefully that becomes easier. We are Texans too! North Texas here. I've never nit lived in the county I was born in so I definitely want to explore.

[@todayissomeday]

That is awesome!

[@colette-adcock]

Enjoying your videos! Yay Texas!💕 We just bought a Van to convert to camper van. Hubby is retired, I still have 10 years, so this is our some time camper van. Unless I get a 5 year plan. So exciting! Thanks for the info!

[@todayissomeday]

Very cool! I love to see conversions. Safe travels

[@jerrybloemendaal8761]

Instead of "to go"pile, we have a storage locker at a home base (which is my sister's place).

[@dirkalan1]

Very informative video. I retired 5 years ago at the ripe ole age of 45 and now my son 21 and I are selling my home and first going to get a home base in Florida somewhere? After that we are going to hit the road and pretty much RV it as much as we wish from that point. A bit overwhelming at this stage myself but excited just as much. Well see how things pan out soon enough!!!

[@RVersity]

Good luck Dirk! Florida is my favorite place to travel in my RV.

[@doughasson2073]

Still catching up on these older videos. This one was very informative. Go Navy.

[@todayissomeday]

Thanks Doug!

[@wsgriffi]

Hey Stacy and Phil, I found your channel a few weeks ago and really enjoy it. Today started looking back at some of your earlier videos and found this one and it is perfect for where we are in our full time RV journey. We are DR fans as well and completed step 2 this July and are on step 3 now. Our plan is to retire in 2.5 years and sell the house and by a Class A (with Cash of course). We have started slowly purging and it is overwhelming. Thanks for the great information and look forward to seeing more! Scott

[@grandmac.168]

My husband and I are right there with you! We have 2 to 2-1/2 years before we can actually get going, but we have full-timed before, a few years ago. The hardest part now is WAITING. ;D

[@glennjonesnc673]

Probably one of the best advice for getting ready videos we’ve seen. Thanks, you guys do a great job!

[@todayissomeday]

Thank you! One thing we forgot to talk about is an exit plan. If you are preparing for full time be sure to plan for this as well. Thanks for watching!

[@To.Be.Determined]

THANKS KIDS!!! Research and Purging in full gear!!!

[@Wanderingwoodys50]

We just watched this video, we have sold our home here in Alberta, Canada, looking to trade in travel trailer for motorhome. You always give such great advice! Thinking we are on the right track, now we just have to get over the border (Sept 2021)! We are looking to get a transport company to take our rig over the border & we'll fly in to US to meet up!! Keep up the awesome info, safe travels!! Deb & Wayne

[@todayissomeday]

Sounds great! Good luck.

[@mikereynolds3294]

Your videos are invaluable as we decide if it’s for us

[@RVersity]

Take your time Mike! Research is key. I always say buying an RV is more like buying a home not a car even though they sell them that way!

[@jeepsandrvs]

Good advice all around here. I agree totally on the debt-free advice. Some other channels tell you to not to wait. For many of us, full-timing (or part-timing) means less income. IMO, you want to enjoy the journey and the lifestyle and not have to worry about finances as much. Secondly, on purging - it does take a LOT longer than you think it will. It takes 3-4+ purge sessions on each room minimum to do a good job.

[@todayissomeday]

Exactly!! You can't enjoy this lifestyle without some financial freedom!! It is so much better to be prepared ahead of time. Those that just jump regret it a lot. I also agree with your purging time line. I talk about in our purging video. We purged over almost 2 years before moving it. I went closet by closet and room by room repeating the process over and over. It does get easier the more you do it.

[@msprice4444]

So happy that i found this video!!!! Full time RVing is something I’m really interested in. We are both Army veterans and my wife is a retiree 😉

[@todayissomeday]

welcome! We are glad you found us.

[@coevers1962]

I laughed out loud when you said “a pocket full of debt”. Ironic. I just found your channel today. Good stuff!

[@dzymslizzy3641]

I won't be able to do 'shakedowns.' In order to get my rig, it will take selling the house to afford it, then, I'll have to rent back from the buyers for a month or two until I can get the rig in place. (I don't want to finance it and have that debt on the road. I'll be losing a mortgage payment--don't want to trade it for another!) ;-) At that point, I'll be full-on full time from the get-go. You offer a lot of good tips, and I've already begun the purging process. Budget? I never have one specifically written out; I'm just naturally very good at managing my money; a skill I've learned from never having been rich at any time in my life. ;)

[@CaptnButch]

We're looking to do full time in a few very short years, so all of your vids have been very helpful in sparking convo on a variety of topics. Thanks for sharing, and keep up the good work!

[@todayissomeday]

Thanks for joining us! Good luck going full time!

I am recently divorced after 20 years and got the house in the settlement. After I get the house in my name, I will hang onto it for 6 months then sell it and buy my RV. I will have $1475 a month i social security. I took it early so I could go RVing. I know I'm a little old to get started in this but I have only been out of the Houston area 3 times in 20 years and want to see some of the country. I have family in Colorado and Missouri and thought it would be nice to just travel on a budget. I will be paying cash for my RV from the money I make off the house so my expenses will be minimal. I'm only buying a small trailer to live out of until I am able to save enough money for something bigger or to see if the smaller one suits me better. I have gotten a lot of great information from watching your videos so thanks for doing them! Maybe I'll see you guys on the road sometime.

[@todayissomeday]

Good luck with your full time journey!

[@trailbadger2345]

Hope you guys enjoyed my backyard. Thx for the great video.

[@carrieedgell8890]

thank you for the advise...we just made the decision to go.....I'm excited but a bit apprehensive especially about selling the house, kind of like loosing a security blanket!

[@todayissomeday]

Best of luck! It was so worth the leap for us

[@ourfutureinanrv4227]

Excellent video. My wife and I are one year out from our anticipated take off date to full timing. I can appreciate a few of the points made as we have been through them ourselves. And now I have a few examples of what is to come, such as the emotions involved in the day the house is placed on the market. I subscribed so I can follow along.

[@todayissomeday]

I am glad the video was helpful. Only a year until you hit the road.....it will fly! Thanks for watching. Hopefully we will see you on the road!

[@waynetibbs6060]

As always, thank you so much for the great info Phil & Stacy! We have 2 years and 8 mos (unless my lotto numbers hit first :-)) till retirement and going FT. Keep up the great work and great humor!

[@todayissomeday]

That is awesome!

[@Tanacarroll]

We are going full time come April with Fifthwheel. This video you both answered so many of the most important questions I’ve had and was having a bit of difficulty finding answers too. Thank you very much. Sharing this with husband now. 😊

[@todayissomeday]

I am so glad! We looked for the answers to these questions before our launch. Good luck with your new life. I hope you love it.

[@justaroundthebend6679]

Thank you guys so much! Awesome Tips... And Thank you so very much for Serving!.... :)

[@todayissomeday]

I hope they were helpful! Thanks for watching and safe travels.

[@brendanowlin3143]

My husband and I are the same way with things. I say "ok, I am done with this" and it is gone. My husband will go through the kids trash or good will (they are in college) to make sure they are not throwing away anything that HE wants them to save.

[@todayissomeday]

That is funny because it is totally us!!

[@davidlanier3182]

Have really enjoyed your video's - you guys are great!! Have begun to persuade my wife to consider our second act could be full time rv'ing for a while. Just became empty nesters so getting rid of all the stuff and trading that for experiences is very alluring. We rv'd with the kids for about 10 years, and loved it, but have been out of it for about 5 years. Look forward to your one year expenses video.

[@todayissomeday]

Good luck! I hope she goes for it.

[@brendanwalsh1675]

Great video step by step! All the little steps that could be possibly missed. We love seeing you go through the 33aa. Thanks so much! Since then you've sold dolly. Brendan & Lena

[@todayissomeday]

Yes, thankfully Dolly is gone! We are so relieved!

[@staroad]

we will become full-time in a month. we are very happy and excited.

[@todayissomeday]

I am excited for you guys! I hope you love it. Be safe out there.

[@robin61-63]

We are at this point now! Purging the house to sell. Thank you for sharing your process.

[@RVersity]

It's such a liberating feeling. I'm constantly downsizing and already in an Rv lol

[@georgialayman8176]

Great video! About to pick up our RV this weekend. Then our first Shakedown !!! Very excited. We're downsizing from a fifth wheel to a 27' RUV so that I can do the driving. Stacey-- enjoyed your video learning to drive !! LOL! I've been studying for over a year so I think we're pretty prepared.. Won't be selling sticks & bricks yet.... but many voyages planned, including one in August from Houston to Seattle for a family reunion.

[@todayissomeday]

That is awesome! Enjoy the driving....it gets easier each time out!

[@VegInspired]

So much awesome information! Purging when you make the decision is such crucial advice. We moved everything from our house into our garage in a week so the realtor could take photos of a simply staged house. It was so overwhelming. But we are excited for the next steps. 😄

[@todayissomeday]

VegInspired I totally agree! We started purging more than a year out. A little at a time make the job manageable. And allows you fo purge areas several times. When will you be full time?

[@VegInspired]

Our goal is before the first Western PA snow... but we have to sell our house before we make the transition. We have two garage sales scheduled to try to move some of our possessions (so hard to purge stuff that is still in such great condition) and we have a small storage unit that we will put our antique furniture and some momentos we couldn't part with. We have a 5th wheel on order, so now it is just timing. So excited and so ready for all that this lifestyle offers - the good, bad, and amazing!

[@tracimorgan3695]

Thanks for all the great tips!! we are getting ready to sell the house, and ya your right getting rid of stuff is hard and emotional more for hubby tho. lol we hope to see you on the road!

[@todayissomeday]

We will be here come on out and join us! Good luck on the sale of your house and the purging!

[@OurNomadicStory]

The video included a lot of useful and genuine information. I really enjoy you guys style and editing. COunt me a subscriber. I look forward to watching your other content.

[@todayissomeday]

Thank you and welcome! Our goal is to have fun while providing information we were looking for before we hit the road! Safe travels!

[@Reeltachy]

Great Video! I recently found you guys and I am starting from the beginning. My wife and I have just started the process of purging and discussed budget, Mail service and many of the topics you discussed. We hope to be full timing in mid 2020. We have owned our Class A for almost 18 months now and have had several long weekend trips. We have done a few 7-10 day trips and a two week trip in a couple of weeks. Thanks, and looking forward to more videos.

[@todayissomeday]

Welcome aboard! 2020 will be here before you know it! Happy purging.

[@TheRock-xj7hs]

Thank you for all the info it isnt all glory out there I’m sure. I will be new to full-time in 2020 when I retire as a registered nurse after 23 years looking to live on my Social Security check and my minimal investment hoping to make it. I don’t need a mortgage. I’m alone with no family and two dogs I will take any input from you guys that you want to share and appreciate Any trivial information. The Rock

[@todayissomeday]

Thanks for watching! Of course I love nurses as I am also a nurse. Check out our new series that might give you some useful info as well. Have you found your rig yet?

[@waydeb11]

Thank you both for your Service. Love your videos! We currently live in San Antonio, have a Tiffin and currently are weekend warriors. My wife is planning to retire in 2 - 3 years (I'm already retired). So many State Parks in Texas for us Weekend Warriors! All of your info is spot on. Hopefully if you get back to San Antonio we can meet up while you are in town. Safe travels and enjoy!

[@todayissomeday]

Texas has some beautiful state parks and so many close to SA! We will be back and would love a meet up! Thanks for watching!

[@todayissomeday]

Thanks for watching!

[@MrNaomitherealtor]

Hi guys, my husband is a military retired and also an RVer, not full time yet, but we just placed the house for sale. I have a recommendation get a flat tow vehicle the best are Jeep Wrangler, (that's what we use) and a Mini Cooper (that's what we use too). But me I prefer the Jeep Wrangler, because of the 4 x 4. Why we know, because we had transport RVs from Indiana to Customers and RV Dealers. Good purchase that's one of our prefer one and also the Forza Winnebago 34T. So hope to have the pleasure to meet you, military families are getting involved in the RV full time. Bye

[@todayissomeday]

We are hoping to switch to a flat two after the first of the year! We are looking at the Jeep Trailhawk. Good luck on the sale of your house!

[@MrNaomitherealtor]

Drive a Jeep Wrangler I am sure you will fall in love I love the Rubicon...

[@peggyr.346]

You guys are great! Thanks for sharing all your information!

[@sheribeggs4577]

New viewer🤗...love the videos and Dave Ramsey LoL......

[@todayissomeday]

Sweet! Welcome!

[@JCMercyGrace]

Do you still see and read comments from old videos? I've begun purging, but just barely. We've lived here for 30 years, same size house as yours was. So Much Stuff, that I still love. and probably because I like the things I'd like to get some money for giving it up. And a lot of the things are still quite nice. Did you do garage sales? Were they worth the time and effort? I don't want my clothing to end up on a boat to Africa and now even Africa may not want our old clothes. And I don't want it in the dump either. I'd love ideas for the actual purging please. And Thank You!

[@todayissomeday]

We try to reply to all comments in a timely manner. We did do garage sales, that's where 95% of our stuff sold. The rest we donated to charities. We started room by room and the purge went rather smooth that way.

[@JCMercyGrace]

@@todayissomeday thank you so much for getting back to me! I think youtube channels would be A LOT of work. I appreciate all you do to share your journey. We're trying to decide if we want to have a channel when we travel more. You are inspirational. AND I also appreciate your service for us in the past -- and your son's and son's-in-love's service!!!!

[@verytiredmom434]

Thanks for all of this great info!

[@todayissomeday]

My pleasure!
