We have been in our 26' TT for 3 full months (since 10/1/2011)... Definitely decided this is the life for us, so now are very actively searching for that "MOTORIZED" unit.
Limited funds, but we are convinced and devoted to doing IT.
Not likely to wait for hubby to be able to 'retire'... plan now is to find the right unit, make the purchase and hit the road. Life is way too short, and there is no guarantee that either of us will still be around or even healthy enough to travel, thus our decision is to just "do it". Prayers and good wishes most appreciated.
Hope to see you down the road some day soon.
Changin things up a bit as we are firmly planted in South Texas .. in the oilpatch

Yes, 16 more days and we begin our FULL-TIME RV life. Unfortunately we can't travel yet, the hubby has little more time before retirement. Plus, the TT we have acquired is '97 - 27' Dutchman / 1 slide. Would like to get a motor home between 24' & 30' to use to travel the US.
We see them all over the place but not enough cash right now , therefore; the PLAN... to live in the TT and SAVE SAVE SAVE... we have crunched the numbers and are confinent we can save upwards of $500 month just by moving into the TT parked in a local campground. This location will put the hubby closer to his current JOB. Not to mention we will save on rent/cable/internet ELECTRIC !! Hey the campsite monthly fee is LESS than our electric bill in the 3 br/1 b house we are currently renting. We will get free Wi-Fi, and things like pool, mini-golf, etc etc.. all included in the site rental... all that is EXTRA or non-existent where we are now. So I AM READY, yes.
Only 16 more days to downsize the 'stuff' === clothes , whatnots , computer desks ... you get the picture.. OH MY WORD.. pictures.. this is my goal today.. to finish sorting thru the family photos and discard most. Keeping only the ones that are simply unbearable to part with, but making sure not to keep all those 'duplicates'...
Many and I mean many will just be added to the ones my family has , that is if they want them.. otherwise here comes the refuse collector's truck.
Truly previous posters I have read articles from, all over the WWW... had it right the photos are probably the most difficult thing to part with... but we must accept that the memories are with us always. OK, so maybe my memory fades in the future... then the memories won't bother me cause I won't remember what I forgot LOL...
Anyway, hope to post again after we get settled in the campsite.
HAPPY TRAILS TO YOU ALL
