In today’s world costs are a major concern in every decision – and the decision to take to the road full-time is no exception.

There are many factors to be looked at, but the bottom line is that, once you get past the ‘must pays’ the full-time RV life can be as expensive or as inexpensive as you make it.  Being creative, looking at what it is you really have to have and making appropriate adjustments in your lifestyle can make something that seems financially out of reach eminently do-able.

In this video RV Cooking Show host Evanne talks about what one year of full-time RVing might cost you.

I think the most commonly asked question about our decision to become full-time RVers was “It’s so small – how will you get away from each other?” 

I would patiently explain that there was a new invention to solve that problem that had beome quite popular and was now standard equipment on every RV – it’s called a DOOR. And when you walk through it you find yourself in a world in which you can go anywhere you want, either together or separately.

The key is to understand that your RV isn’t someplace you are trapped in. Instead, think of it as the room that transports you from great big world to great big world – kind of like the Star Gates in the TV series. Once you arrive at the new world you are free to do as you please, until it’s time to move on to the next one.

For us even the fact that we don’t have the same tastes in TV shows isn’t a problem – there are two TVs in our coach – so I can watch one while he watches the other.  No problem

In this short video authors Vicki and Joe Kieva talk about their experience with this and how they deal with it.

When my partner and I announced to our friends and family that we were going to sell the house, get rid of stuff and move into an RV full-time, the decision was met with more than a little bit of skepticism.  Many of them could not imagine that we would leave a perfectly good house to move into a ‘tin can on wheels’.  And I’m sure our sanity was questioned behind closed doors.

In this short video, author Jaimie Hall talks about her experience and also about one of the benefits that she gained by making her decision.

Choosing to make the move to the life of a full-time RVer is a big decision.  It is a life filled with freedom, fun, adventure and certainly it’s fair share of challenges.

Many people think that they would love to life such a life, but put it off, saying “Well, maybe someday . . .” The result is that all too often people put off following their dream until it is too late.

In this short video author and teacher Gaylord Maxwell gives a graphic demonstration of what you should really be thinking about and offers a powerful challenge to those sitting on the fence.
