A question for the community, the seasonal site that we are interested in has a 30 Amp Service, the owners said that we can upgrade the service to 50 amp for a fee a $375. Do we need a 50 amp service? and is it normal for the renter to pay for a site improvement that the owner will benefit from long after we are g...

A few weeks ago I posted that we had accepted an offer on our house and were to close on March 31st. After a roller coaster year of trying to sell our house, we finally thought we were almost on the road to fulltiming. Last Monday it all fell apart. In our 4 counter offers, the buyers verbally agreed to ac...

Are there a lot of RV parks that require you to be 55+ to stay at? Also, can we expect to pay more than the 55+ community of Rvers? We are 37, 32, 2

I'm new to this forum, but have been fulltiming for close to four years. I'd sure enjoy meeting other members if you are in the Austin area. I'm volunteering out at Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge for the spring. Come join us at the Songbird Festival this April!

Well we have had a record breaking snow on Thursday and part of Friday and now we have freezing fog this AM. I wonder what is next? Maybe sun shine or could be a volcano will erupt in down town Fort Worth. Wow this global warming is going to freeze me.

For those of you who don't follow our blog, we are excited to announce that we have accepted an offer on our house!

Does anyone have any knowledge about the tax law when you sell your stick house and what kind of penalities are there for not reinvesting in more real estate?

Tonight is our last night in Florida.... for this year anyway. Ira and I head back to Pa tomorrow. We plan to stop for a few nights at Kings Bay Submarine Base in Georgia.

I'm not much of a poster, but Dee wanted me to tell everyone our good news. Today I'm officially retired. That's the last hurdle to becoming real full timers. It's hard to believe our dream of full time RV living is actually coming true. I say "coming" true because we won't feel like we'r...
