And if we had communicated with more fulltimers, we'd have known not to buy a high priced campground membership when we were just starting out. Nick Jack,

In fact, we have not used them for anything in nine years. We get our road service through Coach.Net and are very happy with them. There are many companies that sell continued service plans who wil not flood you with junk mail. Nick Jo,

It is time to renew my Continued Service Plan and I am wondering how likely it is that my RV will have a sudden breakdown. It is less than 10 years old and in excellent condition. It seems that Good Sam is always flooding my mailbox with offers of some new service like Emergency Assistance Plus. I am getting tired of all the mail from Good Sam.

We're just about to celebrate our 2 year anniversary of full timing together, and being in our mid-30s, one of the most common responses we get from other folks we encounter on the road (generally older than us) is that they wished they had started sooner! Today's digital age opens up so many more opportunities to start traveling full time sooner, and not having to wait until retirement. For our first year on the road, we traveled in the RV that my partner already had. It was defined as a trial phase to see how the road inspired us both. After living on the road for a while, we were armed with experience to researched out our ideal mobile home to live and work out of (for us, it's a small 17' solar powered fiberglass travel trailer). I think giving yourself a clear trial period before you make major committment like selling homes and/or investing in an expensive set up is a great way to go. Since we gave ourselves that time period, there's not much now about our life that we'd do differently if we had it to do over again. Some great advice here in this post that we concur with, including the comments. Thanks to everyone! Congrats on 10 years full timing, that is impressive!
