Young Full Time RV Perspective

what about taxes on the rv itself? How do you determine what town will tax you? Also what do you do about drivers license and regular mail?

How to start? What tips?

Great video! My husband and I are both 40 and are investigating the Full time RV lifestyle. We have a son, but we've homeschooled for years so not a big deal to us to think of doing it on the road – and hey – think of what an education he would get! : )

I like to see the wonders of nature, but at this stage of my life (full time job, commitments) I would like an RV simply for the security of always haveing a roof over my head and a place to come home to, regardless of the economy, employment, etc. I live near Lake Murray, Okla, and would love to live out there year round, and drive into town for work. I manage a night desk at a hotel. The only concerns I have is thievery (living remotely) and severe weather (lots of tornados here).

I love this! So happy for you and while I lived in a TT for one year (before getting married again) my hubby and I are considering it again – granted in a larger RV now. I had my two doggies with me and I had a computer type consulting job that had me traveling the country. I loved it and really had no problem that I didn't figure out a way to overcome.
I hope we meet on the road someday!

Life is a series of choices. We are so fortunate to be able to make this one. And let's face it, nothing is forever. If a full-timing choice turns out to not be ideal for you make another choice…at least you gave it a go.

Life is good…travel safe…

Thanks for sharing your thoughts

My husband and I started full timing in April. I'm 28(tomorrow!) and he's 29. It was one of the hardest but BEST decisions of our life. We sold everything and had to leave some credit cards behind and let my car get repo'ed (which screwed my credit), but I'm glad I got away while I still could. We're in the Beautiful black hills of South Dakota meeting amazing people everyday. Keep truckin!

Were 26 my wife 27 And we see no reason to give up our life of freedom we love traveling and living aboard our 38 ft class A

good advise Jim. I am 27, and while I was sitting in my 6' X 6' cubicle today I realized I can't do this until i'm 65. I have to get out early and figure out a way, even if it means living a frugal lifestyle.

Great to see young people on the road. I am 39 my wife is 33 and our daughter is 13. We live in a 36ft Lakota 5th wheel on a small island off the coast of Vancouver. It's great to see families living and working on the road.

I plan to become a younger generation RVer, and I'm only 19! Making the little money I need is no problem, because I am a gifted artist, and I plan to sketch portraits and landscapes. I think that that kind of life would be great for me, because life is the most valuable thing for me, and I do not want to waste it.

People in my family sometimes say, "A mind is a terrible thing to waste", but what about a life!? You can't use your brain if you're dead!

I am 39 and have just bought my first Class C and am hitting the road after the new year. Per your vid, I agree that it may be better to get this lifestyle going BEFORE I am of retirement age and have to worry about the steepness of a trail I wish to climb.

My advice to anyone out there… we only have this one life we know of, why waste it sitting in a cube working for the MAN! Hit the road and enjoy what you can NOW before you wake up and there is no tomorrow.

hey how you doing i m from bay area san francisco i was wondering if u start your rv life yet i m 30 year old too i m shame to say i got laid off and i have limited saving for retn so i decide to live in a rv to save rent i m single no kids 30 yr old so i love free living style i dont know i hope u could give me some pointers i m like starting a new life style .. like getting out of the buildings i m kinda confused

Awesome! This is like an eye opener. And it's been my lifetime dream to go off in the road. I'm 30 right now. And saving to finance an RV. I'm divorce,no kids,no mtg,no debt.Your video gives me more push to really do it. And for me not to bother with family anoyance. And negativenes of female freedom in the roadtrip of a lifetime.I love nature and I have a passion for photography also. And looking for friends with the same ideals. Thanks,
Kudos

Hi, thanks for putting this information out there. I'm in my early 40's and waiting a few more years until my youngest turns 18 before taking a year off to travel. I should have done it when I was younger, but at least I realize I don't want to wait until retirement – too much could happen by then! I'll be looking for any more information you post. It gives me incentive to know this isn't only for the very rich or the retired!

Hi. Thank you for your video. My hubby and I (both 49) want to go full time too. Have to wait till things pick up here as our business is barely paying it's own way right now. Really appreciate everything you said. Learned something tonight. Thank you.

One must love oneself before you can love others.. HAHA What a waste of pixels

I was a full timer on the Oregon Coast when I was in my early 20's, and loved it. But when I started a family, it became to small. I still have an RV, but I hope to return to full timing one day.

Hi Boostah27,

I'll cover that in an upcoming video. But for now, your full time budget depends on your lifestyle. If you eat in, visit free attractions and shop around for things like insurance, etc. and stay at minimum one week or monthly intervals you can get by rather inexpensively – maybe in the $20-$25K/year range.

On the other hand, if you eat out all the time, pay admission fees, stay one or two nights everywhere the budget goes up, up, up.

Does that help?

thanks professional and good info, could you also give a comfertablw budget needed for being on the road?

Great video, we are adding RV Parks & Campgrounds to our map. Do you have a laptop this valuable travel planning tool can be installed on?
