gypsydan Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Part of the adventure of being full-time is to be off-the-grid. Many, though,at the end of the day often think about having a more permanent residence. Here is a couple who created their own off-the-grid habitat. Wouldn't this be an interesting place to come at the end of your travels? 2009 Four Winds Chateau - 25' class C 2002 Chevy Tracker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk W Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 No appeal to me at this point in life because we are too dependent upon medical facilities and doctors to live out there. There was a time it would have looked attractive, but no longer. Consider what is must be like in January & February! Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

richfaa Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 We will wind up right here at our S&B since we chose not to go Full time and went long time instead so we did not sell off our S&B. We have a RV pad on the property which is the only reason we still have this S&B as it is way to big for just the two of us. When we no longer have the truck and 5th wheel we can downsize the S&B and be way ahead financially as we have big equity in the S&B, Money from the sell of the Rv and truck will help. That time is drawing near. Helen and I are long timers ..08 F-350 Ford,LB,CC,6.4L,4X4, Dually,4:10 diff dragging around a 2013 Montana 3402 Big Sky SKP 100137.

Be sure you check the capacity of that wheelchair, sometimes the dealers will sell you one that does not have the capacity tow, and stop, that downsized Scamp 5th Wheel:)! Where for us? Check back in with me later, very hopeful I'll come back as one of my wife's dawgs...

sandsys Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Hope she can afford it. They ain't cheap. Agreed. But they can be wonderful! Were headed here next month: http://trilliumwoodslcs.com We'll start out in independent living then stay right through the rest of our lives. It costs a lot up front but they can never kick us out unless we become violent enough to be a safety hazard or develop some type of medical condition too severe for their health center to deal with. They do have memory care which takes care of one of our concerns. Plus, we can have another 2008-style financial meltdown but they can't kick us out. There's a lot of peace of mind knowing that. In the meantime, they have nearly everything I need under one roof so I never have to go outside into a Minnesota winter.
