Hello all, my SO and I have been camping our whole lives and figured it was time to get off the ground and into an RV. I RV'd with my folks as a teenager but never had anything more than a van with an air mattress in it myself.
We're 52 & (soon to be) 51, acheived debt free status a couple of months ago and decided to leave the rat race behind in the next year. We're putting our house on the market, shopping for a used Roadtrek, and hitting the road for (hopefully) at least a year. We have to go back to work in some capacity as we're no where near retirement... but spending a year or so on the road exploring might just open up new doors for us!

Welcome to the forum,
Sounds like a plan to me--all the best. Love the sunset picture.

Thanks B&C, don't know how I ever ended up landlocked... I'd really prefer to wake up (or go to sleep) to the sun on the ocean.

Thanks. If you take a look at our blog, you will see we have fur babies - thus the name.

welcome to the forum Queen. I hear you about the ocean. I love the shore. The sounds, smells and even the foggy rainy weather you quite often find there.
I think you have a great plan and certainly one that is doable. Good luck with it and keep us posted.
