More and more travel nurses full time rv. We been full timing for 5 yrs, my wife is a travel nurse, most contracts for her are 13 weeks long. Though hospital in Brunswick GA kept resigning her for 1 1/2 years. It was nice to to move so much .. rv maintenance is a absolute daily occurrence, everyday I’m doing something. But absolutely love this life

Full timer now for 7 years, Keystone Cougar 5th wheel, zero issues. Just about every week I do some sort of either maintenance checks, or preventive maintenance work. My trailer never moves, but its not maxed out on weight, I have minimized my life and have very few possessions lol. I do roof checks every 4 months, the annode annual, and seal checks just about daily when I do walk arounds. My trailer is a 4 season, and the tank heaters are invaluable. My advice to anyone thinking about full timing is to be basically handy with tools, and you can fix most anything. Also, RVs are not like houses, so you have to treat them easy, and be sure to get one with enough space vs falling in love with a certain price or design style.

As a fair weather summer time part time nomad, here is my tips. 1. When not in use, park your RV under solid cover! Rent a space or build one if you can, but this will cut your maintenance budget over the life of your RV to a fraction of what it would be. 2. Winterize your RV properly. Completely drain all tanks and pump RV antifreeze in all lines and fixtures. Pour it in any holding tank. Leave the water heater dry as a bell and replace your sacrificial anode before the next season. 3. Don’t use a winter heater, use moisture removing products and remove any batteries in smoke detectors and so on. Those are the big things of done for years and have very little maintenance costs. Ever! Sun breaks down everything. Mold grows from moisture, which come from simply having a temperature difference between inside and out. Ozone kills all mold, so leave cupboards open to the air. Good luck

As Ive said before. We are retiring next year and going full time. I love this channel and the info you give. It always adds to my list of things to consider and plan for. Thank so much, and I always look forward to the next weeks video.... Oh.. and I love the short ones too. Stay safe.

We full time in a Fifth Wheel, static, we don't own a truck. We bought used and the trailer has not moved from our permanent pitch in six years. Our Suburban water heater rusted through and we had to replace it. The roof is covered in repair patches.

Def broke my rv living full time . 😂 love this channel

I’m a combo of boondocker and rv park nomad, depending where I go and currently have a 2021 Wolf Pup 16bhsbl adventure package

The main mistake I’ve seen retiring people make is selling their stick built house to buy a new RV and tow vehicle. A few years, health issue or whatever, wanna give up the RV lifestyle- huge depreciation of the RV, real estate appreciated faster than their portfolio…. If you can buy your RV cash and turn your home into an investment property, at least you can reverse the decision without life altering financial damage.

Keeping weight down is really hard when all your life is packed in the rig. Another reason to not go cheap on a RV if you are full-timing. There is actually a big difference between rigs suitable for full-timing and rigs (almost all of them) meant for weekend use.

wow, very appreciative of your wisdom!!

I'm interested in becoming either a snowbird or a permanent camper. I just feel like getting away from society as is and the camper/log cabin life style seems nice to me.

Looking forward to this series.

Appreciate the good information. Looking forward to the next video too.

I have a 2008 Forest River Lexington, thinking about going workamping/ full time. I bought it used, am happy with it so far. I started out with a new Lance in 95, great way to learn the ins and outs. Gave that to my son with the 91 F350 4wd, 7.3 diesel. he is a ski dive pilot and lives at the airstrip with it. Hope to hear more tips about full timing with mine. Thanks, Michael - Calverton, NY

Great videos ! Very well presented !!

I am a boondocker all the way.

great video

Right

Currently a weekender/nomad then become snowbird full time in 4years.

Thanks for the advice on buying used. We are looking at Alliance brand. Also, considering having an incinerator toilet installed. Can you create a video about going to an off grid toilet?

I am in Canada, new to trailer life and a weekend warrior as ours is permanent at the park. I do check my roof after storms and every couple of weeks and ours is now a year old. What is the best type of caulking we should use for the roof to reseal and keep our roof in great shape?

Have a question about using a vent cover on the inside of camper AC unit to help reduce the noise? Have you any thoughts on this? Thank you, new to your channel first time commenting/question. 😎

Thoughts on Airstreams?

Thanks for your sharing and advice I will be soon a part-time traveler have recherched for a year and narrowed it to a 27ft class C with only one slide to worry about ... waiting for the right used one to pop up and out of the blue a relative decided to sell their perfectly maintained 2017 Chateau for half of what others are asking..guess who hit the lottery ;-) ......my next question is do I add solor or get a bigger power bank with recharging panels ...it has a generator for extreme hot conditions and I will be off grid most of the time Thanks for your help and advice

I've not heard Snow Birds called full time before. Huh.

Please give me your opinion on the Ember Travel trailers for full time living. Considering for my travel Job.

I not really moving in an rv for the "experience' I'm just doing it for the waay cheaper cost of living

Please review the Riverside Retro RV. We don’t know how to turn on our solar in our used 2019 unit :-/

Is there any service that will inspect an rv before you buy it?

Was that your full time RV shown in Video. The Renegade made by Harney Coach Works which Was a company under Safari. If so, a very rare and we'll made RV. I have a 1999 Safari Class C 3010 made by Harney Coach Works and it's still solid to this day.

What do you consider a quality RV for full-timing? How can we determine this?

I keep hearing "always buy used"... however I am not convinced that one will not be purchasing someone elses total disaster that they have covered up!! Oh sure one can pay to have it "inspected", but what responsibility does the "inspector" assume for the expensive issues he/she missed?

Where do you go to weigh your RV?

Like #365. Get it? Hehe 😁👍. New sub!

We’re permanent campers

Ahh slide seal conditioner. You are SO Wrong on this!!!! First off, the seal manufacturers says Soapy water ONLY, just clean them. In Practice, conditioning your seals, actually breaks down the rubber, this is very evident as it leaves a black line on the side of the slide, even after just a short time (less than a week) As a full time Transient, I can tell you from much experience, as well as OEM Training, slide seal conditioner is not helping prolong anything, it is actually reducing the life of your slide seals.

Nope, nope, nope. We are full timers and we do NOT fit any of your categories. We boondock, we do power, we work on the road part time, we move the camper nightly, bi weekly, weekly, bi monthly and monthly. We rarely if ever do RV parks. We own a 2022 Lance which is new and awesome.

Rule number 1. Run as fast as you can from any RV dealership. (unless you stay in driving distance of Jacob) Sheeeesh RVs are such garbage.
