So I started researching rv life. Next thing I knew we had bought one and after retirement set out on the road. We we were " most timers" until we sold our home last fall. We're now full-time.
We have had so many great adventures and seen so much of this beautiful country. Traveling with him has been like traveling with a child. He has been so in awe of the majesty of this country and I got to see it in a better light too.
We love this life! Happy trails all.

Yup..Same here..I trucked over the 49 states for 50+ years, while the wife had a job with state treasury and held down the fort..
We had a 34' gasser class A parked in a semi permanent site near my employer [300+ miles from home] that I used when I got back to the yard ,but did not have enough time between loads to go home.
When I was forced to retire after receiving artificial shoulders, Sold the gasser and Bought our Foretravel ..
When the Wife decided enough was enough after 35 years and retired, We sold the S & B home , left Oregon for South Dakota and began the FullTimer lifestyle..
I also Really enjoy showing Her the "Real USA" that She never had experienced.... Like enjoying "Fried Pickles or an evening of drinking RC Cola and nibbling on a Moon Pie!..While watching a bug zapper....[AKA southern entertainment Center]
For me.. Now I can stop and See everything I've had to just drive on by in the truck and wonder "What was that?
Happy Trails
