Possible full timers soon

Many of you know that we've been trying to sell our home in Oregon for three years now. Well we finally got a decent offer. We'll know Friday if they accept our counter offer. It looks pretty good tho'.

That means we'll be full timing it soon while we figure out where we want to live next. We know we will stay west. That's where most all the family is, but we could settle in So. Oregon, Calif. or Nevada. All have their plus' and minus'. But since we have our motorhome, there will be plenty of time to figure it out thanks to our RV home on wheels. We will put everything in storage and putt around-- but also want to see what deals are out there since property values/prices have dropped, drastically in some places. (Yes, we had to drop our price too -- !!)

I'm excited and nervous as hell. This has been a long time in coming. Wish us well that the buyers accept our counter, and we can be retirees with a lot more flexibility! If the deal falls apart, I think I will too.

I want to be the first to congratulate you on the selling of house and finally realizing the dream of freedom on the open road. I know you both are going to love it. I wish my wife had the adventurous spirit - nothing would give me more pleasure to leave thefoundation behind for the asphalt under my wheel. So many places to see, so many things to do, and , as, when I was working, to little time to do it all in.

Keep in touch - drop us the occasional photo - scout out some nice campgrounds for the rest of us. (by the way if you get to San Jose/San Francisco consider staying at Maple Leaf Campground). If you find yourself in Northern Alabama let us know.

Good luck and happy trails

Oh my, 3 years to sell your house! We just put ours on the market a month ago & also hope to full time when it sells. Not planning to store very much, will sell almost everything.

Congradulations & happy trails. I hope to join you on the open road asap!

Best of luck to you, MtnLady

As a recent retiree (last Monday in fact) we will be easing into the possibility of fulltiming. Looking for a new rig as we speak. I figure we'll start out with a 2-3 month excursion to get our feet wet. Our few longer trips were 3-5 weeks as vacation time permitted.

As to settling in Taxifornia, er California, I don't know. With all of the financial problems the state is having and all of the "rich" folks moving out, they're going to have to make up the shortfall somewhere. Guess who will be making up the difference.

Thanks everyone for all your positive energy!! They accepted our counter so we'll be in escrow Monday.

I am not sure how long we will full time it, but love the fact that we'll be in no hurry to buy a house.

Such wonderful news, MtnLady! I try to imagine how it must feel to be free of the house. Have you stopped smiling yet?
