The evolution of the Wanderlust - Next steps for fulltimers
#5

In 2000, my wife and I sold our house, retired and hit the road to live in an RV. I thought we would be doing this for many years but my wife was not thinking so long term so we put many (too many) of our possessions in storage. We now have a brick and mortar house again (in Austin rather than Dallas) but we spent over 10 years living in various RV's (about half of that time in a Newell). We certainly could have given away or thrown away well over half of the things we stored and saved a lot of money during that time. When we got ready to move our belongings to Austin, we had a local charity meet us in Dallas at the storeroom and they filled their truck with items that we didn't want to pay to ship to Austin to be thrown away.

Although we did end up back in a house, neither of us would have traded the full timing experience we had, the new friends we met (many on this forum) and things we got to do and see across the U.S. during those years. So go for it. You may find their is no reason to wait 3 years.
