skidsareforkids Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 So on Friday the 31st of March we go to closing on our house and become full-timers. Our 5er is sitting at the park we want to stay at for the next three months until my wife finishes her job. The parks not done and the city is getting insane with inspections. The owner really thought we were going to have a spot by the 31st but it rained last night and is expected to rain Tuesday and Wednesday, since there's still dirt work to be done that means maybe not. We've got a back-up plan so we're just waiting to see what happens. Kids are excited, wife and I are apprehensive, dogs are confused.

Kirk W Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Congratulations on your big event! We spent about two months in our RV before I could retire when our house sold and we discovered that it was a good think as it allowed us to work out a few kinks before we began to travel.

sandsys Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 We lived in a park 10 miles from home before closing on our house. It was a good thing to do.

skidsareforkids Posted April 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 So the backup plan has been enacted. My parents live about an hour away and have FHUs behind their house. We are hooked up at their house and waiting for our chosen park to open. So far so good, lots to figure out about living in a fifth wheel with 2 adults, 3 kids, and two dogs.

Jmcgsd Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 You're a few days ahead of me on the closing. We couldn't close on 3/31 in California because it's a state holiday (Cesar Chavez). So our closing is Monday 4/3. We have actually been out of the house and in the 5er for a while now. Oue plan is to keep our residency in the area since we CG host for 9 months a year within 35 miles of our home. We spend 5 months at a State park in the mountains during the summer and four months at a State beach during the winter. I thought I'd miss the house after living in it for 38 years, but that doesn't seem to be the case at all. Question - have you taken care of the paperwork (DL, BANKS, INSURANCE, ETC) yet or will you handle that after the settlement on the house? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DL's and Vehicle Registration will be switched to my Mom and Dad's this week. Everything else was switched to 191 Rainbow Dr. the day after closing.
