We are not fulltimers - but we travel most of the summer - to get out of the Texas heat. My husband had to retire due to health issues - but I still work. I'm a teacher though, and get off for the summer, and Christmas, and spring break.......
We have a 30 foot 5th wheel and it is fine for the two-three summer months - but I would want something bigger for fulltiming. Unfortunately, we probably will never be able to be fulltimers - my husband's health will preclude that by the time I am able to retire. That's OK though, because we are trying to make the most of the time he has left.
We just love loading our 2 boyz up in the pickup and heading out for an adventure. You won't regret it - I am sure!!! I do enjoy coming home, but it is always so much fun to head out!
We travel with 2 metal X-pens that we can set up together so that the boyz have a place they can run off leash and play. I think they do get tired of being on the leash all the time. They are still young 1 1/2 years and 9 months old - and they have free roam of our backyard - so I think they do miss being free of the leash when we travel.
I love my job and I'm not ready by any stretch to retire, but I do envy those who are retired and can take off any time for as long as they want!
Enjoy!
