Young Full Time RV Perspective

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!

Thx!

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?

Thank you, that helps a lot. I presented the idea to my sister. She took a cold position providing that I am a single parent. She did not have a good case with me. So she had to bring up the effects that a hurricane could have. I am planning on getting one in two years and stay in it until my 5years old son turn 12.

Hi delva01,

Lots of people live in an RV but remain in one place for work or medical purposes. If you move around for the military alot you'd always have your familiar "home". Perhaps there's even RV parking on the base.

I think it's definitely doable…providing you can live in a space smaller than a house.

BTW – our current neighbors – 2 adults – are working and raising 3 kids plus a dog in a 32' fifth wheel and have been in one location for over two years.

I am 27, I recently own a house, i would like to rent rent it out to others and maybe purchase one more at least every three years. WellI have been thinking about living in an RV fultime but keep my job. i am in the military so all the medical issues are covered. someone please tell me what they think.

Its a great life! I am 50 now, moved into my first rv when I was 30, I quit my job and just took off! I havent looked back since.

Great Video! My partner and I are planning to uproot for good in two years time. He's 25 and I'm 35.. so I guess that qualifies for younger than retirement! Happy travels!

I'm gonna be joining the million+ out there too! I just bought my motorhome and hope to meet like minded folks out there.

Enjoy the journey young fulltimer…

Great video! I think this may help retired RV full-timers be more accepting of us younger folks, regardless of whether we are driving RVs, towing trailers or converted vans. Perhaps we can show the older folks that they don't have to live with factory-made graphics on their RVs too.
Happy travels!

Right on … we're on our own quest to find fellow young full-timers. Check out our videos and chime in on our blog at LiveWorkDream dot com.

My addiction is the internet, and it is hard to find parks that actually have good internet, even if they advertise it or not. What do you do for safety, being a younger, and maybe single, solitary traveller?

If engineering doesn't work out, this definitely seems like fun.
