We have many questions right now that we am faced with. For the experienced RVers who have gone through and done this as a full-timer, we would like to know if we am out of my mind, or if what we want to do is logical and possible.
First off, we have a 3-1/2 year old daughter. My fiance and I are considering RVing full-time in the next 2-3 years. We received a free travel trailer, but junked it due to its condition. But now are seriously considering this lifestyle. As a whole, we believe, this would be great for all of us to see the country, explore, and meet many people from all over. So here goes the list:
In your travels, have you seen folks out there RVing, full-time, with their little ones? We feel home schooling would be best for our daughter, regardless.
How do the children typically handle this type of situation where they are not planted in one location all the time with the same faces?
How do families like this tolerate these types of living situations? We all have good relationships with each other right now, but this will be much closer, and different.
How do other family members react when they are close to your child (grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins...) and you decide on something like this? Is it easy to overcome?
Does anyone ever get homesick, or is this something we will absolutely love? We all love to travel, see new things, and are definitely outdoors people.
This question is something we have been deeply researching, but am going to ask anyways for more feedback. How do you make money on the road? We have read about people selling things, blogging, working seasonal jobs, or at campgrounds... This is more of a personal question I suppose for all the non-retirees. What is it that you do to bring in income? If you don't mind telling.
I currently own a few firearms. How are these handled while traveling over the road like this? Is it possible to possess them while traveling, as long as you land in a state where you can legally possess them?
We have read that TX, FL, and SD are the best places to register an RV. Can we do this before hitting the road? we reside in the horrible state of Taxachusetts.
I suppose I will cap these questions there for now. But before we get too involved, we need to get some of these questions ironed out so we can see if this is something possible. Like I said, we have 2-3 years to make this decision. And as always, thanks in advance for taking the time to answer these questions. We do appreciate!
