Our story. We were DINKS. (Double Income No KidS) My wife hated her job. Been working there for ten years. Great money, nothing else in the area paid better. My job. Great money, excellent benefits. I wasn't going to move. We had motorcycles. Loved to ride. Lived in Iowa. Maybe four to five months of great riding. Only two weeks vacation per year. But still put on 15,000 to 17,000 miles per year on the motorcycles.
Wife wanted to go full-time RVing. Be able to ride year round. Never had an RV before. Rented a friend's motorhome for two weeks. I hated it. But she continued to push it. Did a lot of research on the forums and looking at motorhomes, toyhaulers, and regular 5th wheel trailers once she found the HDT forum on here. Then it was looking at HDT trucks. I decided to give it a try. Bought a used HDT, modified it to carry our two motorcycles and bought a 5th wheel trailer. See signature. Been full-timing it since October 9, 2004. Enjoyed workamping. Did get burned out having the motorcycles as our main transportation, got a car sold the motorcycles. Have loved RVing. Well most of the time. The last couple years haven't enjoyed it as much as in the past. Think it's time to hang up the keys.
But my feelings are if you think you can afford it, just do it. There is no guarantees in life. Could be dead tomorrow.
