Financial freedom- that's what we're dreaming about! A friend just gave me this website address and I've been reading like crazy. I'm Becky, age 52 and watching my husband (Tim) work so many hours each day--- at 60 he's got a ways to go to retire, but then, that gives me a few years to do some research and...

New to forum--Mainly full time

Hi we are new to your forum. We met several years ago while working on a job contract each pulling our own campers. Since I travel with a 6# little friend and a 124# protection trained gentle giant we soon realized our two small campers weren't going to do it. After we were married we saved and bought a 34' u...

Well to start off I don't even know if we are RV'ers (lol) isn't that sad, I have been so obsessed with work and family life that this never crossed my mind. Last fall we decided to buy a waterfront lot, there is no power to the lake, no motor boats allowed but we love it. In order for us to afford our piece of p...

Many years ago I somehow got the book Movin’ On by Barb and Ron Hofmister. From that point I knew that someday I would live in an RV and travel. Fast forward a number of years, I was stuck in a stick and bricks house with a corporate job I hated, and I found the RV-Dreams site and daily journal. Again I knew tha...
