My husband and I picked March 1st 2021 as our first day RVing 95% full time. Then Life happened and I was diagnosed with breast cancer in Feb 2021. We did a few mini trips, but knew everything would stop soon. After a months of this and that appts and major surgery I am 100% cancer free. Now we are trying to decide when our next selected date to carry on our dream of RVing full time.

1 May 2031. Retiring at age 57 after 21 years in the Air Force and it will be 13 years Federal Service. Cant wait for my wife and I to hit the open road in our 5th wheel. Thanks

We retired in 1995, hubby turned 45...our goal was 40. We travelled in the coach for 3 years, invested in income properties which were paid off in less than 5 years. When he turned 50 we started to travel on motorcycles all over the USA. When my mom began to need more care...we stayed closer to home, I went back to work so that we didn't have to spend savings for medical insurance coverage. In 2013 we divorced, sold our forever home of 40 years, I bought his ownership portion of the rentals. Bought a used RV so that I can do weekend escapes until I retire again. Love traveling in my personal home (RV)!

IT’S ALL YOUR FAULT! 😂 We started watching you in 2020, then followed you to NRVTA, started our own successful RV Tech/Inspector business & have been Fulltime RVers for almost 3 years now. Thank you, Phil & Stacy!

Our launch date is September 1st 2025. My husband plans on retiring at age 62 on June 15 2025. We have started purging slowly but surely! We have a class c now and plan on upgrading to a class A and then selling the house. Love your channel!

Go Army!!!! My new full time life starts January 1, 3 years in the planning.

Some of the best advice I've heard in a simple way with websights to back it up. Usable, free, research.
Love the Bloopers. Hahahahahaha

You hit the nail on the head. We started full time April 2022 after 5 years of planning. We sold everything and have learn a lot of tips by watching your videos. Thank you! I have traveled via air for the last twenty years and (don’t laugh) the only thing I would not get rid of is my massive collection of Starbucks mugs. We spend a month in one place then move to the next as the wind takes us (We love getting to travel to the 3 places our adult children live the most! We would never get to see them as often as we do without this lifestyle!) I have always worked remotely so the move to the road was no big deal. My wife retired from teaching, but hopes to find some side job to do on the road eventually. I over spent on my internet with top end hardware and data plans to ensure connectivity. I learned it was not necessary and now use Starlink and a cheap Verizon and ATT as a back up plan. We are only 7 months in and don’t regret the switch. Went from 3000 sq. ft. to 400. Every night we say how much we love our tiny home!!

We are starting September 1st 2024 . We are going where ever God wants to go . Everything is almost gone in the house . Now we are living in the RV on the property till we leave so we can practice and get some trips organized and learning APs and watching a lot of Youtube videos .!

There are many different ways to approach full-time RV life. For years I’d scoffed at those crazy people who sold it all and hit the road, never dreaming that I’d ever be one! But then we bought a travel trailer in 2016 to just go camping as the whole “going out to the bathroom in the middle of the night” thing just wasn’t very fun anymore. Did at least 1 2-week trip each year and many shorter trips, which gave us the first notion that full-time RV living really might not be so bad and could be viable for us. We absolutely loved traveling with our trailer! So when we started the wife’s retirement planning in earnest we also did a deep dive into evaluating whether or not to try full-time RV life and the conclusion was YES, we want to do this! My wife gave a 1-year retirement notice to her employer in March 2020 and we started searching for our retirement rig, which our pull-behind trailering experience led us to conclude was a large 5th wheel trailer. Quickly we learned that our 3/4 ton truck was too small for our needs and spent 2 months finding the right 2 year old 1-ton dually truck. Then we engaged a “trailer concierge” to help us sell our 4 year old trailer and find a new rig. His industry knowledge was invaluable to steering us toward options that were truly suitable for full-time living. With his advice, our trailer sold to a private party within 4 hours of listing for 90% of the original purchase price (much more than we’d expected!) and his final negotiations on our new rig with the dealer saved us another $5K. Nothing but praise for his counsel and advice! So we picked up our new rig from the dealer at the end of June 2020 and decided on the 500 mile drive home to sell the house sooner rather than after retirement and picked October as the magic date. We sold the house and everything in it - 3 huge garage sales and a final estate sale to clear all the big furniture and last of the house goods - and moved into the rig October 17, 2020. This was absolutely the rip-off-the-bandaid approach to downsizing, but it worked well and was best for us. Challenging to be sure, but no regrets. And our 3 adult kids all were excited for us and actually thanked us for getting rid of all that stuff! We knocked around local RV parks for 5 months while the wife finished up working and 4 days after her official retirement in late March 2021 we hit the road, heading north for a long-scheduled service appointment for miscellaneous minor warranty work. Which was a good thing, as we made it almost 20 miles down the road that first day before the bottom fell out of the rig due to an undiscovered water leak… but with the help of a great mobile technician we were patched up and back on the road in about 3 hours. In these 2+ years of full-time RV living it’s been an amazing journey that has really only just begun. We’ll finish our first full circumnavigation of the USA this coming March, and should visit our final state in the lower 48 by July 2023. We love the road and the RV lifestyle and will continue as long as we physically can. Looking forward to meeting you sometime on down the road.

I started my full-time RV life at the first of October 2022. I started preparing a couple months before. I am still tweaking things as I learn. Thanks for all the great videos.

[ridingwiththerileys]

This is a great video of information to prepare for fulltime RV. We purchased our class A 5 years ago and launched 12/11/21. We have traveled over 40K miles and stayed in 28 states so far. We have 2 more states before returning to Florida for the winter.

June 14, 2023! We are so excited!! Thanks for the great tips. So many emotions. We are purging (have been for a year now but we've been in our house for 24 years!!), we have the RV, we have finances in good order, same with insurance. It was such a relief watching this that we were on the right track. Thanks so much for giving me a little peace of mind. And congrats on that beautiful grandbaby!!

[milesofhomes]

You and other RV full timers encouraged us to go full time over two years ago. We love it. We both work full time from our 5th wheel.

[edwardpierson]

We planned for 19 years and have been full timing for 6 months, 9000 miles, 16 states and 10 national parks so far this year!
