Excellent article Sue Ann.

Thank you, Sue Ann! A lot of helpful insights here. One thing we found extremely helpful when we hit the road was becoming members of the various social networking sites for users of our specific RV. They provided a lot of fun and informative information but also helped us troubleshoot when/if we ran into glitches along the way.

My husband and I also considered an RV lifestyle after retiring, but with every exciting pro came an equally disappointing con, so we ultimately decided that maybe it was just “pie in the sky.” I do enjoy reading about your experiences as well as books (fiction and non-fiction) and magazines and watching shows themed for the RV dreamer. I guess I am better suited to “vicariously’ live the RV lifestyle. Thanks.

Hello Sue Ann Thank you for sharing. I am about to retire and have always wanted to live in an RV. My five daughters do worry but like you said I will Meet up with some resistance but I have had a busy life raising them and my husband died. Now it’s time for me, and I’m still the mom. So you answered all my questions and some more. Best to you and be safe Happy New Year Joan

Bravo! Good for you, living YOUR dream. Thank you for sharing your journey and sound travel advice. Your article was a great read! It makes my heart happy to see women getting out there and living their dream unafraid, which takes courage. I am retired and have often thought of living out of my RV, a 24' Winnebago Navion, for a year to travel and see all 50 states. It is comfortable to drive; small enough to park on a city street but big enough not to get cabin fever. I would love to travel the country for about a year, but I have to get my husband on board. We recently relocated from Los Angeles, CA to North Augusta, SC, just because we wanted a change of pace. The drive across country from the West to East coast was an adventure in itself. We hit that cold snap last month in December, but our RV did great! So far we have traveled to 21 states. Anyway, congratulations on being brave and living your dream! What an accomplishment! BRAVO!!!

A great article Sue Ann. You covered everything that people should know. I was a full timer with my husband 20 years ago. At that time it was harder then I thought, no cell phones and I wasn’t prepared enough. I’ve always loved having an RV and after my husband passed I sold the 38 ft diesel pusher that I knew I couldn’t handle alone. Now I’m a part timer with my Travato and it’s great. Your article will really help those condsidrring the lifestyle.

Thank you, great information, with the experience to back it up!!!!

Thank you Sue Ann for all the tips. I too am in that planning stage and am setting out to travel the country full time in my Travato 2022 a few years from now. But, for now making long trips here and there, setting goals, and looking for those hidden gems, and tossing the idea - with or without real estate anchors. I hope we meet on the road some day.

This is absolutely wonderful information! Thank you for sharing. I am in the beginning stages of planning my RV life. I am aiming for 2025 and so far am thinking of a class B. It will be just myself so I don't need a lot of room and like you want to take it more places than a larger one could go. I will be working from mine, so I will have to look into the boosters and such for connectivity, but from what I've read and watched, that seems like it won't be too difficult to set up. So very excited with every step. Went from a 4 bd, 2 ba home to an 800 sq ft apt and next week move to a 400 sq ft apt. It was a bit difficult to digitize some photos as I lost my son in 2015, but I still have them....just a different way to look at them. Happy and safe travels to you Sue Ann!! Niki
