#2 Decision made.... time to get on with it

So after a lot of talking, thinking and more talking, we have decided to go for it.  Why not? Life is too short and if not now when.  But where do we start?

We searched the Internet for articles on full time RVing.  One of our favorite books is "Motorhome and RV Retirement Living The Most Enjoyable and Least Expensive Way to Retire" -by Jerry Minchey.  It has lots of interesting info for the new guys...like us.  We got it on Amazon.  It's a quick read but informative.  There's a lot of information out there if you just look.

After a lot of thought, we've decided that to live full time in our trailer, we need a different one.  I want an additional half bath.  Sometimes at our age, waiting for someone to get out is not an option! We still need a garage (so a toy hauler) so LJ can take his atv.  There's a lot of areas across the country for him to explore.  And I need a useable kitchen because I am not eating out all the time.  The larger toy haulers give us abundant storage and the garage with it's own tv makes a great separate family room for some separation of space.  It also has extra beds in case someone wants to come see us while we are on the road!  So number one...sell the old one.  Find a new one.

We've decided to keep Nevada as our home base for now, so only a few things to take care of there.

The hard part is going to be getting rid of stuff.  I have gone from "I have to keep that" to "I want to keep that" to "get rid of it all".  I'll let you know how that goes.  More thinking and planning.  After all...what we keep has to be stored somewhere, so is it worth it?

Then of course..selling the house.  What fun...but oh the rewards.  Fortunately our house has gone up in value so in a way, our decision to buy was a blessing in disguise.  More $$$ for our adventure.

The transition from sticks and bricks to RV life will be stressful, but worth it.  Stay tuned for what we do to prepare.  We will share what we've learned.  I'll let you know how it goes!
