We are "50's" couple that are planning to go full itme "camping" starting this June (2012). I am retired USAF, and (will be) retired auto shop teacher. My wife was very recently very sick but has healed now, and this ha of course given us a new outlook on lifes priorities. We have a (class A) motorhome that is in great shape and a trailer on 5 acres in Montana we will sell. We are also planning on selling most all of our possessions and storing just a few. we have really enjoyed reading posts, and are always open to good dvice. Our initial plan is to perhaps camp host about 1/3 of the year,(every 3rd or 4th month) and then travel this country the rest. ANY ADVICE OR SUGGESTIONS...ETC would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, bradandtoni

Welcome to the forum and thank you for your service to our country. I like your plan, seems do-able. Short term jobs seem to always be available, for a variety of reasons, the trick is to be close to the work location when the opening is available. Travel time is expensive.

Yes, it seems there are MANY openings, especially if you are flexible, and especially in the "Northwest" during fall/winter. We rare sur getting excited and it should make the school year go FAST! P.S. Thank YOU for your service also! Brad & t

Welcome and thanks for your service.
I recall an RV seen west of Colorado Springs back in 2008. They had a converted bus and was pulling a large trailer. That large trailer had a full sized Cadillac Escalade in it and they had a bird in the RV.
So, it has been done. Feel free to ask questions, and since you own an RV already, feel free to comment on the questions of others.

No slight mistake. We are VERY happy with " sunni" and have more or less modded it just the way we like him. Our recent 6week excursion sealed the deal! Anyone need five acres and a mobile home in Montana! Brad
Congratulations
