It's a learning curve. I left my land that I lived on with a small RV, 26' no slide small camper. I bought a newer one 35' with super slide, and bed slide. And I left with a truck that the numbers fit, but the engine spun a barring. Stranded, and my best friend came and got me 250 miles south, hauled me back home and I could purchase another used truck. Bigger, 2500. So I left again. Had a starter repaired a coil, $500, and a week in a small but quiet, RV site. I left there, and went to a resavore for 3 days. Then I got my check, and back on the road. So expect the unexpected. 12 days to get from ND, to NM.

Great video guys!!! We have been FT going on 2 years and our experience preparing was similar, but more “rushed.” We had our house sold before we even put it on the market officially. Chris and Martha, Venturesome Couple were our neighbors for several weeks in Seal Beach, CA Funny story, I was gonna do my monthly running the genny under a load for a couple of hours, so I saw Chris outside and walked over to see if it was ok with him…I always check if I see neighbors out. He said he didn’t care and we started talking and then Martha came out and she jumped in the conversation. I kept saying to myself, I know these guys. Then It hit me, that they are the Venturesome Couple. We hung out several times and had a great time with them, such an awesome pair!!! And, their solar array just blows me away, as well as lot of other additions/mods they have done. Really enjoy the content, the straight forward honesty and transparency, and you keep FT lifestyle positive with caveats. 👍😃🍻

A great discussion on this very topic. Thank you as well for the web sites, I was literally going through those steps and grinding on an excel spreadsheet with limited data. Your video was perfect timing for me as well. Called insurance agents for quotes on truck, quad and trailer, got the “you need a physical address routine”, another surprise. Just logistics. Both budgets and weights, selling the home, major downsize to a trailer. What doesn’t sell would have to go to storage and your experience shed light on my conundrum. It ends up costing more to dump after paying for storage. Subscrbed!

You know, it’s really hard to say. Depends on your personal situation. We wanted to have the funds to cover any major issue. Since we bought new on the Rv and truck we have warranty for most. However, we went with about 3 months expenses. Now, I wish we had more since I did lose my job but we were able to change the way we camp and make up for that change. It’s really all about your personal comfort zone and ability to be covered in case of anything major. Not much different than in a home really.

I've been living in apartments for 20 years. 59 yrs old. Single and no commitments. Now I'm considering a mobile home or RV. Would need a remote income until 65. Which idea would be best? Thank you for any wisdom. Blessings. Mr. T

Sure but if you’re budgeting a certain amount, I’ll spend it slower to stay within budget because I’m not living as fast. If you travel twice as fast you might spend 400 in a month compared to my $200 because I’m going slower and not moving around as fast. It’s about staying in budget. Plus you’ll cover twice as much miles. I may cover the same in 3 months as you cover in 1. In the end, do you but the math still works for budgeting:

I’m pretty sure he means frequency of moving not actual mph speed. If you stay for a month at each place, that’s 12 moves a year. If you move weekly it’s 52 moves a year. If you travel for example 500miles every week that’s 2000 miles a month. If you travel 500miles once a month it’s 500miles. You will be travelling more slowly across America (or wherever you are going) but at 1/4 the cost. Plus you save on site fees, wear and tear on your vehicle… etc

I'm looking into full time solely due to rising costs of living. Rent is 2500 a month. I'd rather put that into a proper class A
