Thank you Trailer Traveler

So Escapee’s have there own RV resorts or just affiliations.

We want to stay as long as we are able we want to make sure we take our time and enjoy the places we are heading too. But it doesn’t have to be a resort as we are open as long as it is a clean park.

Thank you Dan. I downloaded the AllStay App to my devices. No amenities needed all the time. We are seeing those trips in ours heads as Vacations. The rest of the year is only really about being able to hook up, or boondocks in a safe place. Thanks again.

Hello Kirk. Their is miss emotions about this question but it doesn’t seem like it is as horrible as some RVers are putting it. Thank you for your post.

Thank you Twotoes. I have looked at that budgeting about $40 dollars a day for lodging. You believe that budget to be low and shoot more for $65?

I do hope that those experiences surpass your goal and blessed be that good enough turns into memorable moments. I share your sentiment about “The world is Changing”. Thank you for your honesty. Maybe we can share our findings and thoughts as that nagging voice has reached our ear as well. Blessed Be.

Great strategy Solo. Thank you much.

Thank you for your honesty. I did a trial run on RV Trip Wizard and there were parks that I could not even see a reservation almost one year out. This is the reason why I posted the questions as it has been a hot topic. I don’t mind planning. I just couldn’t really get a clear answer when I was doing the trial run as I can do the travel, is just not probably the route I want to take. Thanks again.

Hello to all. Our full time RVing research continues and we have come to across a lot of talks about RV life popularity continuing to grow. With this conversation about how hard it is to book RV locations, no matter which one it is. No Vacancy. I went into RV Trip Wizard and I can see that there is more vacancy when you search three months out or more. Is this really becoming as big of a problem? How far out are you seeing yourself having to plan out? Are these memberships, such as Thousands Trails good alternatives? Is this just a fad that has been seen in the past and as we say, “This too shall pass”? Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Safe and Happy Travels!!!

Yes Linda. So much to learn. I love your Travel Fund idea. Thank you for the mail forwarding never saw it in that point of view. We do not have solar but we can see what it would take your natal on our Winnie. So much great advice. Thank you again.

Thank you Bruce for the encouragement. I hope you are well and sorry to hear about your hospitalization. Blessed Be.

Thank you for your insight and honesty.

LOL, I am sure is not. It is more about those that we encounter on the road as we are out an about. I read the history behind Kay’s vision and even the time that he was confronted by members of the group as well and loved his response to the group. Such great liberating way of thinking.

It just confirms the observations that me and my partner have had about the community. I agree the courtesy and just plain respect for one another is so important and something that we might see less and less in some areas. You all help us so much in making this decision one that we feel comfortable by sharing your expertise. Thanks again.

I get excited about our journey getting there as I read the way that you describe our beautiful country. I want to try boondocking before our freedom date(This is what we are calling the date that we have set to embark on this new chapter of our lives), but I am concern about safety. I dislike having to say this, but being a minority as well as a member of the LGBTQ+ community it is something top of mind. I just hope that as we have been impressed by the sense of community in our trips, we are also about knowing that the community is accepting of diversity and inclusion practices.

Thank you Steven for your insight. I love the way that you describe your decision making process as we have discussed the same. We want to enjoy ourselves, but also know that we are not in a 365 day vacation. I have a large list of illnesses in my family and we have always thought about doing this when we retire, but we are also afraid that we won’t get to do so if we just wait for our retirement. There is a lot to learn so I am grateful to all of you as the RV community seems to be so helpful, empathetic as well as giving. Already have experience this as we have an RV already. Thank you again.

Thank you for the warm welcome, insight and resources. We are determined to make this happen so we want to make sure that we do it right. Thanks again.

Thank you for your insight. One of the Pros that we spoke about, was being able to do this now while we are healthy. We are definitely not rushing into it as we have given ourselves two years to eliminate our debt as well as all the other steps that we need to take towards a minimalist lifestyle. Thank you again as every bit helps.

Happy New Years to all and hope this year is full of great getaways for all. My husband, our two fur babies and Winnie (that’s what we call our RV) have been able to enjoy some great trips in 2021. So much that it has made us think differently about the way we live. We both hold corporate jobs and work very hard day in day out. We feel blessed that we are able to live the life we do, but also feel like we are missing the best years of our lives waiting for retirement to come. We recently have started to consider the minimalistic life. Sell everything we owe, get some good remote jobs and just become full time RV’ers. Of course this step is not an easy one and have been researching the Pros and Cons about such a drastic life change. Life only gets faster and time tends to just pass by and even taking a weeks vacation now a days is just not enough to recharge the batteries when working demanding corporate jobs. Do we have any full time RV’ers in the group that can share their perspective and experience? Is this really possible? Is there any advice that you would give the group before considering to make this change? Is it worth it? Lots to think about and would appreciate any insight from all of those that have already made this type of life decision. Great Travels to all!!!!
