[davehutchinson67]

29 and Just got a used class C. Planning to start fulltiming in 6 months. It is silly to wait until deaths door to start living. Society is slavery.

I'm a brand new full time rv'r. I am 50 years old and just retired . I feel like I'm 1 of the younger ones with the luxury of retirement . thanks for the video I enjoyed it . Gerry

[wynn904]

I am so sick of the Rat Race and would love to live out of an RV. Where can I go to learn the basics, like obtaining water, electricity, Internet at a less expensive rate than living in a cheap apt.? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

[zachjen06]

My family and I have been full time in a class a for 15 months, and yes we are n the Midwest we even love the winter!!!

[petejanett]

i wanna grow up tobe ju likst like you... Njoy

[loadmastergod]

I'm 27 and starting the fulltime life as soon as my 5'er arrives! Can't wait!

where do you get rid of the poop after the tank are filled

[hulky004]

i cant hear a thing

[FromanMD]

I am so tempted to sell or rent out my house and hit the road. Roam the whole country until we find a place we love so much we never want to leave.

[jackgoldman1]

I did the opposite. I had cancer at 42 and bought a 15 acre nature retreat on a wilderness lake in Northern MN. Instead of traveling through the Universe I let the Universe travel through me. Birds, weather, storms, nature, Earth spin, beauty, abound. It's all about being a human being flowing with the Universe instead of a human doing fighting a war for money. Money and love complete each other to sustain life. Make money, be happy, and do what you love.

I can understand how people think it is inexpensive to live in an RV but isn't it a bit expensive with campground fees and the utilities? I own a 28 foot camper but I only use it as an office and writing studio where I can write my books in peace. Mine runs off of propane and solar energy.

[GreatDepressionTwo]

I'm been doing it for about 2 years now .I love it .

[CampfireInACan]

Safe travels. Hope to see you down the road.

[LusssiousLiz]

Thank you for the video... I want this so bad. I am 45 this month and home school my 12 year old. What a great life experience for him..as I fulfill my dream. It's the money that worries me.

[Ladyhawkwright]

My family and I just purchased our first motorhome after years of camping. It is a wonderful life.

[RVCookingShow]

@Ladyhawkwright Congratulations - it is a wonderful life. Travel safe and maybe we'll see you on the road! Evanne

[bigbizs117]

I plan on being a full time RVer when I graduate. I am super excited....

Though Many people think it's crazy, I don't care.

[simplyfreeminded]

yea im with IDrawGibsonGirls i plan on becoming a fulltime RVer but a much younger generation. I am a adventurous girl and thats the life i want to live

[bertharogan]

Hello! We hope to see you on the road sometime! My partner and I are turning into full timers. We purchased a 1976 Dodge Executive 30 footer and gutted it. Now we are refurbishing the way we'd like and when we get situated and find a way to earn income, we will be on the road. Happy trails!

[LullabyLooming]

is this possible to do in canada?....It sounds like such a great idea?..I am dreaming?..where would one find the laws of rving in canada?...coco

[MrSafetymeeting]

Great video.Looking at your comments it's clearly very inspirational.I've been trying to pick a good jumping off point into this lifestyle for years.

[lucaslanddotcom]

what about taxes on the rv itself? How do you determine what town will tax you? Also what do you do about drivers license and regular mail?

[MrSafetymeeting]

@lucaslanddotcom Rules vary state by state.Some people use a friend or family members address to set up a post office box.Lots of people base themselves out of Arizona because there laws are set up to accomadate the large winter population of retired rvers.

[explorr1]

How to start? What tips?

[melhenline]

Great video! My husband and I are both 40 and are investigating the Full time RV lifestyle. We have a son, but we've homeschooled for years so not a big deal to us to think of doing it on the road - and hey - think of what an education he would get! : )

[FatDaddy4Fun]

I like to see the wonders of nature, but at this stage of my life (full time job, commitments) I would like an RV simply for the security of always haveing a roof over my head and a place to come home to, regardless of the economy, employment, etc. I live near Lake Murray, Okla, and would love to live out there year round, and drive into town for work. I manage a night desk at a hotel. The only concerns I have is thievery (living remotely) and severe weather (lots of tornados here).

[smurrey]

I love this! So happy for you and while I lived in a TT for one year (before getting married again) my hubby and I are considering it again - granted in a larger RV now. I had my two doggies with me and I had a computer type consulting job that had me traveling the country. I loved it and really had no problem that I didn't figure out a way to overcome.

I hope we meet on the road someday! :)

Life is a series of choices. We are so fortunate to be able to make this one. And let's face it, nothing is forever. If a full-timing choice turns out to not be ideal for you make another choice...at least you gave it a go.

Life is good...travel safe...

Thanks for sharing your thoughts :)

[travelingoutskirts]

My husband and I started full timing in April. I'm 28(tomorrow!) and he's 29. It was one of the hardest but BEST decisions of our life. We sold everything and had to leave some credit cards behind and let my car get repo'ed (which screwed my credit), but I'm glad I got away while I still could. We're in the Beautiful black hills of South Dakota meeting amazing people everyday. Keep truckin!

[unreal101182]

Were 26 my wife 27 And we see no reason to give up our life of freedom we love traveling and living aboard our 38 ft class A

[entreprenuer7island]

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.

[IDrawGibsonGirls]

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!

Please check out my Channel, too! :)

Thx!

[alexthomsonuk]

@IDrawGibsonGirls I am a fellow 19 year old RVer (well nearly 20) more and more younger people are getting into it and I think maybe at some point a club should be started for young people like us to meet up and share points..

Well good luck and I might see you on the open road!!

[MiIesTailsPrower]

@alexthomsonuk ~ Sounds fun. I just bought my 5th wheel to live in full-time in PA. I won't be traveling, but instead, I bought a permanent RV lot in a yearround campground.

[jp3eku]

@IDrawGibsonGirls where are you sexy?!!!! I want to see you out on the road... we could travel together maybe!

[jedgar01]

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.

- Jim

[kwg2005]

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.

[southmiamiliz]

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

[Rayevo888]

[jewellee33]

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!

[missile59]

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.

[rosenrotsonne]

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.

[boostah27]

thanks professional and good info, could you also give a comfertablw budget needed for being on the road?

[RVCookingShow]

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?

One must love oneself before you can love others.. HAHA What a waste of pixels

[GolfWineCigars]

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?

[delva01]

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.

[RVCookingShow]

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.

Evanne

[delva01]

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.

[chknmnkey]

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.

[littlenewman24]

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!

[peter8488]

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

[algid]

Enjoy the journey young fulltimer...

[HunterMann]

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!

[LiveWorkDream]

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.

[RiverBirch1967]

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?

[wschmrdr]

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

[JackSalem]

I was thinking about going full time RVing at least by the time I'm 26 or so. This is great stuff - most people who think about doing this are retired and well older than I am.
