    We are a family of SIX... and have been full time since 2015 (that's when we sold the house and officially went full time). I've seen a LOT of people come and go. Most people who quit do so in the first year. In my observation (and after talking with many who have quit) it's due to several reasons: 1 - Don't full time if you think it's all roses and adventures. If you don't have a firm grasp on reality you'll find that the reality of life will catch up with you... and quickly. Sites will not always be "perfect" to your taste... repairs, repairs, repairs is a way of life... BE FLEXIBLE (or you'll go mad) as things happen (blown tire; engine issues; weather; family emergency causes change of plans, etc.). In other words, if you think that life is going to be magical and worry-free, like you see all those KZread videos of 20-somethings carting around the states -- you might get a hard smack of reality, quick. 2 - DO NOT TREAT IT LIKE A VACATION. This actually should be the number 1 reason people quit. I've seen more people than I can remember who have started off strong and passionate about full time RVing, only to gladly give it up within the first year -- and it's almost always due to burn-out. The problem is that they treated it like a vacation. Don't (unless you're made of money and have nothing else to do with your time). RVing is about slowing down and enjoying what is right in front of you. If you race from Point A to Point B to Point C as fast as you can to try to "fit it all in"... you're going to burn out. This isn't a 1-week vacation... this is a LIFESTYLE. How many of us have come back from a 1 or 2 week vacation exhausted, claiming that we now need a vacation from our vacation? That's the point. Slow down... take your time. You do NOT have to see every silly tourist attraction on the map (most of them are junk anyway -- simply created by a marketing engine to claim your cash)... and NO, you are NOT missing out if you go to an area and miss seeing the 'sights'. The 'sights' are right in front of you, not behind some ticket booth. Besides -- you should be running around with the mentality that you WILL BE BACK... so leave something for your future trips. Pull out the chair... enjoy some coffee as the sun rises... take a nap... whatever. Many of us work remotely nowadays, so treat your day like you would at the office or home office, and consider yourself "on vacation' after you punch out for the day. 3 - MONEY. This has a LOT to do with #2... as people who start out really seem to think that they need to go to every mom-n-pop restaurant in every town they visit or they're somehow not "doing it right'. Eat good, but eat cheap -- at 'home'. Sure, it's nice to splurge on a restaurant here and there... but you're likely going to have more fun inviting other campers to your site and share some steak, veggies, beer, tea, or whatever with meaningful conversations about life, your lifestyle, and all the beauty that is around you. Buy yourself a good SMALL pellet smoker (like a table-top Traeger, although that's the most expensive brand) and you'll find that a pellet smoker has the ease of a gas grill (although it is a little slower) with almost none of the mess of a charcoal setup. Just turn a dial and enjoy some of the best food you've had it a long time (seriously -- those pellet smokers can make everything taste amazing -- with almost no effort at all). I mention a pellet smoker simply because once you've experience food cooked at the RV on one of those, and it might ruin you for most restaurants (saving you a lot of money). As far as the other reasons people quit -- it's usually related to one of the three above. As far as overall expense -- like fuel prices... see items 2 and 3 above. Slow down. Stay in one location 1 to 4 weeks. Seriously. Moving too often really burns people out. You need time to relax and unwind. And slowing down will reduce your fuel bill by spreading it out over time. When you're ready to go, make sure you're not traveling more than 2-4 hours to your next destination, if possible. Just because you want to make that next highly-marketed made-up tourist destination on the map doesn't mean there aren't a thousand equally awesome places to see along the way (they're just not marketed, and therefore not as crowded and likely don't have a ticket booth in front of them). Make friends at the campground instead of lining up to by tickets for a statue you can't even get close to. As far as campground prices getting higher and higher -- that's just the price of inflation. Things aren't cheaper in a house... they're just different. Consider a camping program, like Thousand Trails. I've personally stayed at various campgrounds from the West Coast to the East Coast utilizing Thousand Trails along the way... which really offset our camping costs. Sure, the high end memberships will cost a lot up front, but once that cost is paid for you'll find that you can go an entire year on VERY LITTLE. Not every place has a Thousand Trails that we can use... and we're members of other associations... but those programs save us enough money that we can really splurge on a killer site (like the Florida Keys) and still come out way ahead. Just because the RV park in the middle of the city is charging a crazy amount each night doesn't mean that's your only option. And if you're focused on the central and west part of the states, the dry camping (some people call it 'boondocking') is everywhere, so long as it fits your style. Anyway... thought I'd add my $0.02 to help with the topic. Enjoyed the video.

    One thing that is probably important to mention and not all people who embark on full-time RVing can do this, but they should always keep a homebase that they OWN if they can. If someone started RVing before housing costs soared into the stratosphere they may find affordable housing out of reach now and monthly rental costs are also out of sight in many areas too. This would force people getting out the full-time RV life to have to seek shelter that is really not what they had bargained for.

    I started out living in a 24 ft travel trailer full time out of necessity. No where to go and no money to go with... beat a homeless camp. Finally won my VA Disability and was able to upgrade to a 40 ft motorhome (4 slides) and ordered a brand new car. That was just over 3 years ago. Never thought about packing it in and getting out because I love my RV, I'm VERY handy with making many of my own repairs (plumbing, electrical, construction if needed, etc) and I love doing them (don't love when things NEED to be fixed but I love fixing them when it happens). I'm a 68 year old female traveling alone with 4 cats. BEST THING I EVER DID: solar just this past November. Sure, I'll be paying for it for several years to come but I have to tell you... I don't NEED campgrounds anymore. I can park anywhere I want (BLM land is free!) and still live very comfortably. If you are going to be full time, I highly suggest getting a solar set up. Yep, it's expensive but damn... It's already paid for itself in what would have been campground costs. "Don't Be Afraid Of the Path, Be Afraid Of Not Moving Forward". Don't know who said it but it's gold. Friends and family keep asking me where I'm going next and I tell them I have no idea and I'm in no hurry to get there. Life is good! Happy travels, everybody!

People can see from two storey houses and apartment buildings. I'm living in a TINY off-grid cabin at the moment with propane and only self-contained solar lightbulbs, radio, exterior lighting, etc. I basically want a bedroom on wheels because I'll be working most of the time.

    My hubby & I were full-time RV retirement lifestyle for 11 1/2 yrs. (spring 2011 - July 2022) We loved it and yes we knew about the downfalls. Over time, we got older & so did the rig. We were always looking for our "forever" home once we had to quit RVing. So when we arrived in western Kentucky, we found the place for us. The cost of living, the cost of repairs to the rig vs. her value, age & stress of driving, difficulty's in finding campsite,... made it easy to hang up the keys and resettle.

    I was just talking with my wife about selling everything and hitting the road. I’m retired so my SS would be coming in monthly to help cover expenses. I first thought about buying a used diesel pusher. Seems I could find a reasonably priced one for about $50K. Then started following people on KZread doing RVing full time. They were all a big help in opening my eyes to what to expect. I was surprised by the cost of it! Having a great partner is also very important. Perhaps mandatory. Most of them were great with each other and humor was also very important. Regardless of that the cost still come. I was surprised by the amount of maintenance required and the cost of it. So much surprised that I realized this sounds great but reality is often worse than the fantasy. Then I switched my thinking to traveling around the world and staying for 2-3 months in different countries. Rent an apartment or house and taking in the ambiance. Again probably dreaming but some countries are very affordable. My wife is from the Philippines and we have travelled to Thailand before and loved our 2 month stay in Chang Mai. Street food was so affordable and tasted so good we never cooked in our apartment. We walked a lot too and didn’t mostly sight seeing which was easier because everything was new and magnificent. It was like being in a National Geographic show. During our walk there were massages available for $3.00 . They started recognizing us at several places because we frequently stopped by. We definitely wanted to do that again and visited Vietnam, Cambodia and different places in the Philippines. My wife still needs more convincing because she also loves where we live in Florida. I’m getting my knee replacement in April then the conversation and discussions will be more serious. .

    I’m a full timer since 2017 in a converted Chevy Express. The last 2-3 years have been a nightmare but all these state parks, private RV parks will soon be begging for business as RV sales and usage continues to cool down. The pendulum will swing the opposite direction as it always does. I’m hopeful things will improve over the next 2-5 years. I just bought a truck and truck camper with the hope of doing more boon-docking in areas that were previously inaccessible in my big extended body 2WD van. I love the lifestyle, but will say I’m lucky in that I’m a travel nurse so I can park at the hospital at night and do local exploration on my days off. I’m very grateful for the ability to be able to park in the lot and never do anything other than pull up at night, park, and go to bed. No pulling out the lounge chair or firing up the bar-b-que! Lack of respect is one of the reasons over night parking is so restricted now. 😢

    We are in year 3 of FT. Many of the price increases you mention would affect us even if we were in a sticks and bricks…i.e. the avian flu driving up egg prices, and general inflation pressures. So, we are still loving this life! One suggestion for those looking for long term stays, i.e., over a summer or winter season, is to volunteer to work in a National Park, Forest Service or BLM site. We’re staying free in FHU sites from LaborDay thru March at two different locations in Arizona…working a few days a week as volunteers, learning lots of new stuff, and not burning any fuel. Once spring comes, we’ll hit the road again. Enjoy your Ekko, I love your energy levels.

    We aren't thinking of quitting but we are slowing down ... 😮‍💨 The reason: AGE. Our driver of the family (Ray) is turning 71 and it seems, for sure, that 80 will be the limit for him, if not sooner. Ironically, when you can best AFFORD both a home base and to RV a lot more, the years to do it are a lot less. So, please, take it from us, don't wait. Be creative, think out-of-the-box, and figure out a way to RV if that's what you want to do! (and, after 28 years of RVing, we heartily recommend it!)

    I'm 72 and my hubby is 82. We've been traveling the country for the past 24 years - but not full time. We still have our sticks and bricks home but spend the winters in Florida and have been coast to coast 6 times. This is the first year we won't be camping anymore (just sold our 40 ft 5th wheel and our F350) due to my husband's severe arthritis and multiple back surgeries. Although I can do everything in our 5th wheel - including driving, backing up and parking, along with all the other chores, we decided now is the time.

    Being 34, single with no kids, and only pets, the pros of full time RVing definitely outweigh the cons. I have 3 years until retirement and then I'm committing. Prices will be high regardless of what you do, except gas. That's naturally going to be more expensive if you travel alot. Luckily I have friends all across the country to visit if I need a break, but I'm used to living alone and being away from people, that it probably won't bother me as much as others.

    What you're referring to is camping or campers. I do this with tents mostly. Also canoe rivers. Lots of great spots here in Arkansas for camping. If you bring a trailer camping, you're fancy, lazy, or glamping depending on who you talk to. We are primarily RVers and it's really nothing like camping although we can choose to have a campfire and BBQ too if we like. That's a bonus. We use our RV as a home to operate from while we immerse ourselves into a new area/culture. It's about travel and seeing new things other than trees or nature. There are awesome parks all over, lots of historical sites, must-see attractions, and great new places to eat that you can't get in your local area. We went to the Canadian Meritimes, ate lobster and scallops, and visited exciting cities like Halifax. Visited Yellowstone, Custer State Park, saw bison/bear/elk, and visited Mount Rushmore/Old Faithful. Went to Gulf Shores for shrimp/oyster, saw the Navy Museum, and swam in the Gulf. That's just a few. Tons of other stuff. It's not as stifling as car trips in hotels. That's actually distressing. Packing, unpacking, iffy room items/linens, very expensive nightly prices, etc. So, to sum up, I camp and I RV for different reasons and enjoy both, but especially RVing with all the comforts of home like a hotel on steroids.

    Agree with Brent. I camp all over the country (I'm a hiker). Don't see y RVers are sad and quitting b/c other RVers for doing the same thing they're doing. I love hiking. it's lonely but it'll afford you the best outdoor experience you could ever ask for. People tell me they can't hike. But I've crossed hiking paths with a man who had polio as a child, a 70+ yo lady who had a hip operation earlier hiking the AT with her daughter and granddaughter, and a blind man just to make a few. I take baths in the purest, cleanest waters you can see, albeit cold sometimes and I've wished for water in some of the dry streams I've seen in CA. This lifestyle makes me appreciate the comforts of home even more. If you RVers gotta go home, do so but count it a joy that you got to do something others wish they could do.

    Just found y’all’s channel and as a former FT in a 35’ 5th wheel that just called it quits last month, I can attest to every single one of the reasons you gave. I work full time from home so I figured I could work from anywhere, however, I was blowing past my RV park budget every month, it was a frustrating and long process to find place to stay in the area I wanted to be, and the cost of diesel and propane were outrageous. I didn’t like having to plan 6-9 months in advance just to find a safe and decent priced spot to park. My purpose for selling my home and doing RV life FT was to see the country and explore but it just became too exhausting, expensive, and difficult to continue. I’m now back in a brick and mortar and plan to continue my adventures but via long-term stays (1-2 months) at Air bnbs maybe just 1 or 2 places a year. I did thoroughly enjoy my adventure last year and don’t regret doing it, just wish it could have been a better long-term solution.

    Great video. I considered the full time lifestyle 8 years ago. When researching for a place to park a camper, I called my city to ask if local ordinances allow me to park the camper in my driveway short term. Their response was "YES", just for storage only, no one can be living in it. So I decided to keep the house, it serves me well as a base for my trips across the USA and down into Mexico. It's like having the best of both worlds. Sometimes I'll spend a weekend out in the camper planning road trips and tieing up fishing flies. Trying to secure a single site for exactly X numbers of nights will be problematic anywhere. You can try securing a site for as long as it's available, then bounce between sites as reservations and openings permit.

    I'm not a full timer but made several trips last year including a route 66 trips from Ohio to California and back. I disagree with the fear that you can't find a campsite to camp at. There were some parks we stayed in that were full but there were others that were only half full and had spaces open. I've not had a problem finding propane when I've needed it. I will say we don't winter camp so I'm only using propane on chilly nights and to cook. I realize that prices are increasing in fuel and probably some campgrounds but inflation will hit us all whether we are in a sticks and bricks or an RV. I feel that some RV channels try and scare people away from RVing and sound all doom and gloom possibly to keep others from filling campsites. If your not to picky about where you stay you can find sites to stay at or move from campground to campground. I just had to state my opinion, you seem like great people. I just wanted to respectfully disagree. Safe travels and God bless.

    Jan Asher I did a van for urban stealth and put 800 watts on the roof so no propane. But I still got off the road 5 months ago. Costs were getting higher and gas for a thirsty van is harsh. More businesses were saying no overnight parking, Cities not allowing vehicle dwellers to park and sleep on the streets, and BLM and parks are packed with rigs. People were pulling the plugs on their black tanks right at the BLM camp site as they pulled out. Just destroying the area and risking the closures by federal rangers. A lot of the 'remote employees' went and got RVs, which drove up the costs for everything related to this life style. It started to become a grind, and it didn't feel as safe as it used to.

    First time viewer & appreciate the info you passed along thru your experiences! We're going to be downsizing & selling our house in the near future & in the meantime our "retirement" home, aka "big bertha" our 40 ft motorhome is parked in our yard. We've been making practice trips for month long stays at various places not real far from our home, typically 3-12 hrs drive. We've found belonging to RV membership clubs have helped on site costs. We tried Passport of America & got 1/2 price at a wonderful place we liked in the Smoky Mts. We're now Escapee members & got quite the discount at a place in Gulf Shores, AL that we stayed at for a month & loved! We are Good Sam club members, but they didn't have places we'd go, but do give discounts on fuel at Loves & Pilot truckstops. Also, another tip is senior citizens with a Golden Age pass can camp at Army Corp of Engineer campgrounds 1/2 price, so ask for those discounts, be it veterns, disabled, senior, etc.

    First time watching your channel and I am impressed with you guys information and explaining various aspects of RVing fulltime. I can only experience this lifestyle thru KZread since having a stroke in 2020 and my mobility has real limitans now and the biggest problem is I can no longer drive and my wife does not have that independent mentality to take the lead so I use KZread to travel all over the country, it's so easy to see the obstacles in front of you but it's so hard to realize you put them there. So keep driving and I'll keep watching.

    I dreamed of getting a camper for years and go traveling. In 2018 I finally got one and took a month long road trip across the US. It was great and I was just calling campgrounds as I went and wanted to stop for the day. I had no issues finding places.After Covid that all changed. I'm spontaneous and don't want to be forced to plan trips so far in advance. I'm going to try and sell my camper in the Spring. It just doesn't seem fun anymore. I know I'll take a big loss on it but I don't see myself using it anytime soon.

    I have been living in my Lance truck camper for almost 3 years now. I have only ventured out 2 times in the 4 years I’ve owned it. I live in eastern Pennsylvania outside Philadelphia. There is almost no place to use a camper in the winter. Our state parks close in the winter. I don’t like campgrounds because they pack you in too tight to your neighbors. This industry is just to crowded with people working from their RV. They hog up all the spaces and stay to long. National parks need to change their length of stay limits to 1 week to allow others to enjoy our parks.

    I'd love to see 'hi rise' urban and suburban RV parks as a way to give 'roadies' a safe place to park with bathrooms and showers. They could be anywhere near a highway and not just in touristy areas. Live in your car or RV without having to sneak or scramble for a diminishing pool of available camp or boondocking sites.

    Have been full timers for five years but inflation has mostly taken us off of the road. High fuel prices made the biggest impact but availability of rv spaces was very important. And because of the pandemic driving so many people to rv’ing, supply and demand gave owners of private parks an incentive to really jack up prices. It’s very hard to find monthly spots now in nice parks. Fortunately I’ve found a good one but what spaces that are now available are only for short stays for only a few days.

    If I work full time in an RV, van or whatever, it's still cheaper than rent and utilities especially if you have solar, lithium batteries and a composting toilet. I'd prefer to be off grid most of the time and not at a resort because I would want to travel without being super close to people. They really pack them in at resorts. Maybe once in a while but there's really no savings if it costs 1k to stay a month unless the rig is paid off. It just depends on the lifestyle you're looking for and what budget you have. BTW, I checked out your rig and it's way beyond my budget but that's ok. I just need to find one that fits my budget just like you did. Love your vids. Really providing great info for those wanting to get into this way of living.

    We are FT RVers by necessity. We've been doing this for 5 months. My husband is ill and can't do much, so it's pretty much left me trying to figure it all out. Since he is on oxygen, we cannot use our stove/oven, so cooking is a whole new can of worms! 😂 i bought a 2 buner cook top and a countertop oven/air fryer and we do have a microwave, electric skillet and griddle. And due to space there is an issue especially with groceries. I plan to go to the Amish grocery store near us and get the 50lb bag of potatoes and carrots to slice up, dehydrate and store in heavy-duty zip lock bags, that can be stored in our cooler or one of the smaller cargo holds. I have also been saving the seeds from peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, squash and other vegetables and drying them so I can plant them in large flower pots this spring. I have found a lot of things will grow well in flower pots, window boxes and other containers. If you are ever near an Amish grocery store, go check them put. They are cheaper than a regular store, but don't except to find pristine cans of everything your favorite store has. But do except better prices and some suprises. I found candies and other products that I haven't seen in years and some locally made goods. It5 thr only place I grocery stop at now. The biggest cost we've had so far is trying to insulate this big girl (she's almost 29 feet) for the the winter. Oh my goodness the tales I could tell about that and the blizzard rippi g the insulationoff and more insulation having to be found and replaced! 🤦‍♀️ 😂 Stay warm and cozy and have fun! ♥
