Howdy folks! My wife and I are in the process of listing our house, buying our first RV, and roaming the country for a year before our daughter starts kindergarten next year. We are VERY fortunate in that my wife works for a health and happiness company and can work from anywhere, as a petroleum geologist my employer will allow me to take 12 months off and keep full medical benefits, and we're both just crazy enough to do this while we have a small window of opportunity to show our daughter the country before we get locked into a school schedule for the next 13 years.
Are we beyond excited? Uh, yes! We have a lot to do in the next few months as we plan to hit the road in early July. We plan to have our house listed by early April to make sure the house is gone before we hit the road and we're actively looking for our ride. I've been mainly searching (nationwide) for a Tiffin Phaeton 40QKH, Tiffin Allegra Red 38QBA, or similar model.
We're looking forward to meeting many of you on the road as we start our trip in Texas and plan to roam from Maine, to Seattle, to Southern California, and Key West, hitting memories in between along the way!

Thank you both Howard and Larry. You both bring up great points we're excited about both of them. We're fortunate my wife can work from anywhere. Me, that's a little tougher and I'm part of the <10% of Americans with a funded pension plan. That being said you don't get bonus points for crossing the finish line with cash in your pocket ;)
We certainly plan to document the trip. We're looking into some sort of website/blog, something more than Facebook. Not into blogging it in terms of an income producer, but as a way to document and keep friends and family updated on the adventures.

What a great plan. It sounds like a once in a lifetime opportunity to have at younger age. Most people have to wait until old age to go on their adventure. DO IT WHILE YOU CAN.
The memories you will make with your 4 year old will last a lifetime.
When fate or serendipity comes your way, don't ignore it.
