1. What do you wish you had known about full-time RV life before you started?
How much fun and sense of freedom it was going to be

2. What do you love, and hate, most about full-time RV living?
The freedom to go where we want, whenever we want for as long as we want. But it will come to and end at some point.

3. Where was the best, and worst, place you visited so far?
That's hard, most every place we have visited so far. Some little crappy Rv park in Alabama.

4. What's your best piece of advice about full-timing, and biggest warning?
Preparation and planning is key to going fulltime. Set realistic expectations. Stay flexable and pick the right RV for you

5. What's your favorite Must Have item/gadget that can help full-timing?
Trip planning tools

6. What's the item/gadget you most regret buying?
One of those water hose coil up things. The best gadget was a water softener

7. What's your very best memory so far with RV full-timing?
Every day since we went fulltime

8. What has been your favorite fulltime RV living hack ?
Anything that makes the journey easier from a 12V cooler in the truck, to using a fuse between pin 3 and 4 of the 7 way and Tami would say using a mat in the freezer to make it easier to defrost the fridge.

9. What did/do you miss most about the S&B you left behind?
Nothing

10. What's your biggest Bucket List item yet to accomplish, or place to visit?

Visiting Canada and Alaska but we probably wont get there.

1. What do you wish you had known about full-time RV life before you started?

So far, nothing has come up that we weren't prepared for our didn't know about.

2. What do you love, and hate, most about full-time RV living?

Independence.

Having to plan 6 months in advance for long term stays; gone are the days of deciding, last minute, that we like this area and would like to spend another month or so here before we move on.


3. Where was the best, and worst, place you visited so far?

Still to early to tell, but the best RV park so far is Johnson Creek RV Resort in Ingram, TX.

4. What's your best piece of advice about full-timing, and biggest warning?

You must be handy and willing to take most of your own repairs.

Biggest warning: Full-timing will cost more than you initially think, until you have everything down.

5. What's your favorite Must Have item/gadget that can help full-timing?

A plan, just remember that no plan survives contact with the enemy!

6. What's the item/gadget you most regret buying?

Nothing, yet, but bringing more crap than I should have. If we haven't used it in 1 year, it goes.

7. What's your very best memory so far with RV full-timing?

Spending time with my wife and getting to see all the places we have wanted to.

8. What has been your favorite fulltime RV living hack ?

LOL! Eat when you're hungry, drink when you are thirsty, and sleep when you are tired! (Except for me, who still works full-time!)

9. What did/do you miss most about the S&B you left behind?

A shop to work on the RV!

10. What's your biggest Bucket List item yet to accomplish, or place to visit?

Way to many to list!
