    Time it took to adjust to full time living

    Hello all!  I am curious to know how long it took you to adjust to full time living in your RV?  I know I will get a wide variety of answers.  I want to full time when I retire, have never owned an RV before.  Currently thinking I will get a used, gas, 30' - 35', motor home.

    Can't decide and have questions.........

    Thank you to all that replied! I really appreciate everyone's advise. It looks as though full timing in a MH isn't going to work for me financially. Will research getting a truck and either a TT or 5'er. Maybe that won't be doable either, but at least I am finding out the information before I...

    Can't decide and have questions.........

    I want to retire when I am 65, currently 62.  Don't know if that is going to be possible though, may have to work another year.  This doesn't sound like it's going to work for me.  Going to have to come up with a plan B.  I know all you guys out there are doing it and really do appreciate your...

    Can't decide and have questions.........

    I am planning on being debt free at retirement.  I will be looking at used motor homes, probably 10 to 13 years old.  I guess I am more concerned about my income that I will have and if I can live on it.  I don't want to get into something only to find out in a year or so that I can't afford it.

    Can't decide and have questions.........

    Hello to all! I don't know if this is the correct place to ask this question(s) or not, so forgive me if not in the correct category. I will be retiring in 3 years. I have been researching full timing in an RV for about a year now. I really like the idea of having the capability of being able...

    Itasca Suncruiser 38J - Your experiences & thoughts

    I really like the Floorplan of the Suncruiser 38J.  I have seen years from 2007 to 2008 where the TV is in the living area and the 3 large windows in the dining area.  I like this set up.  What years was this floor plan actually made?  A couple of questions for those that do own them or have...

    Recommendations for books on Motor Home systems

    Can any one suggest book(s) that I can buy and study/learn about the various systems on Motor homes? Electrical, AC/heat, Appliances, etc., etc., etc. I am not very mechanically inclined so would like to learn as much as I can. I am planning on full timing in a Class A - used gas motor home...

    Single Person - How easy or difficult to hookup, unhook, when alone?

    Thank you for all your replies.  I am leaning more toward a MH/toad combination.  My current vehicle can be towed on a dolly, not 4 down, so that would be a little more involved.  I should consider getting a vehicle that can be towed 4 down.  I really don't want to buy a truck to pull either a...

    Single Person - How easy or difficult to hookup, unhook, when alone?

    Hello all. I looked for a solo rv'ers section but didn't see one, so I apologize if this is in the wrong area. I want to full time when I retire and have been researching RV's. I am single, so that brings me to my question: What is going to be easiest as far a hooking up and setting up when...

    Towing using a dolly when alone?

    Thank you all for your comments!  I don't have a DW or even a significant other to help me in any way.  That's why I was asking about doing it myself.  I haven't ruled out getting a vehicle that can be towed 4 down.  I am exploring all my options at this point.  There are more options for...

    Towing using a dolly when alone?

    I am by myself and wonder how easy or difficult it would be to use a tow dolly for a toad?  My current vehicle is a rear wheel drive and can not be towed on a dolly or flat towed.  Will be looking for a different vehicle to tow behind a 35'ish motor home when I retire.  I know 4wd jeep wranglers...

    How I Became a Fulltimer

    Very interesting story you have.  I am not set to retire for several more years.  I had though about buying a boat to live on but after a lot of research found that it was going to be more expensive than I wanted to pay or worry about.  I still haven't decided what type of RV I want to full...

    Purchase car now for towing later

    I am in the same situation as the OP.  Looking to retire and full time in a MH.  I have a 2012 Jeep Liberty 2x4, which I love, however it is not towable 4 down.  To make it towable 4 down would be about $4,000.00 according to Remco.  I have looked at a trailer to tow all 4 wheels off the ground...
