Ok, here's a funny one (not really, in my mind). We're getting ready to FT once the house is sold (God willing before the end of the year). Not really sure exactly where our travels will take us; it will depend on our mood (do we want to be near the beach, mountains, desert - the best part of this lifestyl...

I think I've pretty much exhausted the RV /tow vehicle or MH research for now and therefore have to start worrying about the small stuff, like bugs (I previously posted about that, and your answers were great!).

For you full timers how much time do you spend reading blogs and forums each day. I think I would end up spending hours pouring over all of the rv related blogs and forums. I have limited myself to just a few, otherwise I think my boss would get upset with the amount of time I spend instead of working.
