KansasSue Planning to go Full-Timing
Posted: Sat Jun 02, 2012 4:27 pmHello Ladies,
I have been reading several of the members blogs and I am so anxious to join the Full-Timers experiencing this great world of ours.
I have a small Hi-Lo and am gradually learning the basics of RV-ing. I find myself limited by the demands of full-time employment but have been increasing my time camping and the my knowledge. I haven't decided which type of RV I will upgrade to for full-timing so I read all I can find on the blogs regarding this issue. I value all your opinions ladies!
I am planning on working for three more years. Due to a tornado hitting my house and having the choice of rebuilding or selling what was left and banking the insurance money, I am taking the first stop and am downsizing into an apartment. I plan to downsize my apartment again next year then move into my RV full-time the last few months of my employment.
In the meantime I would love to read more of your stories and communicate with any ladies heading into my area. I live in Wichita KS but have done most of my camping in Nebraska or northern KS along US 81, again- time constraints. My husband, who was not a camper, died last year so when I camp it is usually with my sister, Linda, and often her grandchildren, my grandchildren, my youngest brother Mike, his family and various friends and family that join us.
Linda's newest interest is Dutch Oven Cooking and she is an avid quilter. Mike's hobby is Geo-caching. And I prefer to spend my time hanging out with the computer or traveling. With such varied interests we always find something to do or somewhere to go and there is usually a nice campground near by. I would like to add boon-docking to our camping but find that has not been an option with the grandchildren along, the smaller campers have too small of tanks and the larger campers have too many people. As time goes on I would like to find workable solutions to the issues of camping with a large number of people (often 3 for me and 4-8 for Linda, 3-4 for Mike) that would allow boon-docking. There is so much to learn and I find I do not have the required patience. I want to be camping NOW!
