Emotions feel bigger in a tiny house. When one person is having a bad day, everyone is impacted. When things go wrong, it’s hard to see them as “part of the adventure” while they’re happening. And things happen. Some big, some little. But most of the time, they feel big… sometimes really big. Rig repairs […]
There’s no real easy way to find an RV park to live in. It takes leg work and making phone calls. You’re going to need to search for RV parks using Campendium.com and CampgroundReviews.com. Then you need to check that each is open year round if you’re planning on being there all year. And then […]
Using solar to save money on electricity is possible but not necessarily practical. First, you won’t get much benefit out of solar unless you also install a load supporting inverter or move some outlets over to be ran off of an inverter (both of which run off of battery power). Then you’ll need to stop […]
Probably not, but maybe. Be careful of zoning and planning to live in your RV on your own land. It’s very common for it to not be allowed or for there to be requirements on what you can and cannot do. Just because others are doing it, does not mean it’s legal. It could be […]
There is no one best RV. We fulltimed as a family for 5 years and met countless other families. We saw people in everything from short travel trailers, little motorhomes, old Prevost entertainer tour busses, schoolies, bunkhouse fifth wheels, and toy haulers. If you name it, there is someone out there in it and very happy […]
We traveled for 5 years and our biggest and best way of finding families and making friendships came through Fulltime Families. Through the groups and through attending events hosted by the organization and families on behalf of the organization. After a while on the road, it was rare for us to be in a campground […]
The weight of cargo for a family who fulltimes is a lot higher than people think. The average family who fulltimes needs 500-750 pounds or more of CCC per person in the RV/camper that they select. The longer the rig, the higher that number. Heck, my family is known for being “over-prepared” and we run […]
Be very cautious fulltiming in a class C. Many have low cargo carrying capacities until you get up to the Super C size. And that carrying capacity has to carry not only all of your belongings and water in the tanks but also your people and pets weight. I have friends who avoided weighing as […]
Always, always, always tell the insurance company you are fulltime if this is your home. You absolutely want to be properly covered. I have friends who recently found out that their RV is totaled. Because they have proper coverage, they got a check for MORE than they paid for it originally! In the event of […]
