We are Jeff and Cindy Harvey signing on to the RV Dreams Forum.We have been lurking for about 6 months, enjoying all the posts and information on this site. We are currently awaiting delivery of our new Carriage Carri-Lite 36MAX1. It is due to arrive and be ready for us by next Wednesday. We have owned five trailers in the last several years but this is the one we intend to actually live in.
We plan, (within the next year), to sell the house and move into the trailer and live in it while I continue with my current job for a couple years (or shorter, if circumstances allow). During that time, (being debt free), we will save enough money to supplement a part-time income workcamping. We are both in our early fifties, but feel that we want to make the move to fulltiming as soon as possible. One never knows what the future holds and we do not want to get to the end with any regrets. We determined that we were not going to let our future be determined by fear of what might happen with the economy, or what could happen with healthcare, etc.. Rather, we decided that no matter what happens, it is bound to be better if we are fulltiming and part of the greatest community in these United States of America...that being RVers.
We are never so happy as when we are out in the trailer. We look forward to the fulltime life with great anticipation!

Good luck! We wish we would have started at your age.
That's a great full timing rig you're getting.

Well, here it is, July 2011 and we have made the decision to sell the house. It has taken us awhile to get all the bugs and issues squared away with the trailer, and we have had to deal with some family issues, but... Fortunately, we have a lot of equity (dealing room) in the house so I think we will be able to sell it fairly quickly. Then, we plan to live in the trailer while I continue to work for 2 or 3 more years...then we break free. It is good to have finally decided to sell the house. Now the process of downsizing begins...I appreciate all the information I have been able to glean from this site and others. I will continue to read and post as we move along in our plans. I look forward to seeing y'all "down the road". As I said before, "Here we go..."
