| Message | Good evening, I just read the article in Truck Camper Magazine. You are gutsy people. I admire your convictions. We are a bit older, in our 70s and retired. I have many tons of stuff and have been thinking of dumping it all, selling out, and doing the full time bit. The price of gas scares the hell out of me. I wonder how many miles per year a full timer uses up fallowing the sun??? We have a motor home and a camper. The motor home is great on space but one does not have a car when parked. The camper is great to get into the wilderness but not very roomy. I have had a fifth wheel that had lots of room and a "toy hauler" space, but was hell to back and did not park well in the restaurants on the road. In your article you mentioned, "getting a bigger rig." What kind of bigger rig did you have in mind and what are some of the advantages and trade offs that you have considered? Oh, I would like to say that money is no object, but, that would be a huge exageration, but, I can say that I have a annuity and we do not need to save for anything anymore nor have we had to save for "things" for twenty years [good feeling]. Our biggest expense is health/car/house insurance and prescription drugs,[well over $24k this year]. If your interested I would break that down for you. Ten years ago it was very much less and it has been a shock how those costs have sky rocketed. OK, back to question, what do you plan to have for full time sun chasing?....carl |
