With Christmas coming Nanette and I would like to give everyone here an early present. It is a gift -- and like all gifts -- must be opened to appreciate it. What we want to give you is the "thing" that not only compelled us to decide to pursue this wonderful life style but has become a cornersto...

Hi RV Dreams family.. I have finally read from start to finish, Howard & Linda's journal. I felt I couldn't post until I knew the 'whole story'. My partner, George, and I, hope to be full timing in 2012. Neither one of us have true RVng experience, though my parents had a truck & camper that I spen...

My wife and I have been discussing , and thinking about how the 4th quarter of our lives will be, we are currently in the third quarter. Often we see commercials for retirement communities, i dont know, not to bring everyone down, but they seem like waiting rooms for the inevitable. Thats when the flash...

This last week our 2010 30RSO Excel finally arrived! We spent Thanksgiving in it camped at the dealership. We are Iowans and the weather was terrible outside but we were cozy inside. The hardest part was winterizing it yesterday and leaving it. Our full time dreams are a little ways off. I just want to t...

I just couldn't hold back my anger/frustration any longer so I'm going to use this forum to vent.... There are several things wrong with today's TV programming & Movie production, however here are my two biggest beefs: Number one on my list- The little graphics that pop up on the screen while you a...

When you travel with pets (part of your family) and a situation comes up that you have to fly home for a couple of weeks, what do you do with your pet during the time you will be gone? What is the best way to find a good boarding facility for your pet? We certainly do not like to leave our dog in a kennel for 3 we...

So we closed on our house on November 3. I haven't been able to sign on and make any updates because we haven't had any internet connections. :( Right now my daughter is at therapy and I snuck away to the library to get online for a few minutes. We have bought our RV but are not living in it. A couple from...

We move out of our house in one week!!!! I don't know exactly how I feel yet. I'm excited and ready, but at the same time it hasn't really sunk in yet. I was just talking to my husband about helping in the soup kitchen on the morning of closing because it's on a Tuesday and that's what I do on Tuesdays. I s...

I am not a F/T as yet but will be in the next three years. My question is Family Married Children, Grand-kids and friends you have had for years. How log does it take to get over missing them and how often do you come back to visit?

Well, we have talked and talked and thought and thought....still talkin' and thinkin'. Looks like we have decided to search and hopefully acquire a 5er in the near future and start downsizing, scanning paperwork/photos, etc. We have a target "jump" date of 12-24 months from now. Even...

I have been looking at 5er to camp in and got to wondering how many of you live full time in your 5er, TT or MH. My thought is for all the information on this forum that it would be a great way to live frugally while paying off debts and getting the 5er and TV paid off. My question is how do you enjoy being in one pl...

I'm in the process of full-timing. During the past month I've made the decision to sell my home and wander the roads. I'm sure some of my friends think I've lost it and I know my son does but I think he's coming around. Many of you here are old enough to remember the old Rt 66 tv series. From the first episode I...

We've used the Purex 3-in-1 laundry sheets in conventional washers and dryers, and they've worked well. It seems that they would be perfect for use in washer/dryer combo machines. However, if they have sufficient detergent and softener for use in standard size conventional machines, is there t...
