Hello..We are Deanna and Chaney from Mississippi, and we will start our fulltiming adventure 2012..after our girls go to college. We are already planning however, sold our house, moved into an apartment, and already started selling what we can live without. We are determined to start out debt free. This site, the forum, and all of you are amazing. We learn more and more every day.
My husband is retired, due to end stage renal disease, (kidney failure) and I am due to retire the day my girls graduate high school. Due to the advances of modern medicene, my husband does dialysis at home, and is now quite healthy. His long-term outlook is great, at least for the next 30 or so years, God willing. We have overcome the obstacle of doing dialysis on the road in a class A MH, with tons of research, and spending hours on the MH lots. I am curious to know if any of you know anyone else with disabilities who are fulltimers and if you have any advice to offer. In the meantime, we are soaking up all of your knowledge and coveting your lifestyle!!! And counting down the days.....:)

Our timetable in similar to yours, when the boys are "of age". I have to work for 5 more years and the younger will be 19! Then we will travel a bit and work a bit (travel RN assignments for me).
Welcome to the forum and my hats off to you both. Home dialysis is a gift, my cousin has done it a couple of times while awaiting transplants.
Your girls are beautiful and those fish look pretty good, too.

Welcome to the forum. We are on the same timetable as well. Our son will graduate in 2012 and we will be ready to fulltime by then. I will be 55 by then. We are hoping to have enough money saved that we just have to workcamp part of the time. Anything will be better than my job now. I think I am burned from doing it 27 years. We have signed up for the Rally next year. Can't wait to go to our first one.

Thank you both! We are attending the rally as well, and very excited about it. Glad to know we are not the only two wistfully counting down the days...our girls think we are crazy, lol, yet the more we MH's and 5vers we show them, the more excited they become. Some people think we are crazy for planning so far in advance, but as most of us "moms'" know, 5 years goes by in a flash. Can't wait to meet up with all of you!

Good to have you both on the forum. I will have to agree time passes by fast. We started planning for this day in 1972. Well, here we are and next year we will be setting our sites on the road out west. Stick with your plan and we will see you down the road.

You know, it's great to plan ahead. That way, when it's time to finally get out there, you don't feel like you are missing something. My husband and I are also in the planning stages. Our youngest is graduating next year. We will give her one year to get settled in college and then we are taking off. We are not retired and will definitely need the income to survive on the road, but we have been working on that with our investments. We will still need to do something at least part time but we don't mind as long as we can get out there and see this beautiful country we live in.
I enjoy reading everyone's experiences and taking notes. Thank you all!!!
