Thanks again.
I'm currently 58. Hoping when retirement occurs we still have the Pod and plan on taking a 6-12 month tour of U.S. and Canada. When that's over the plan is to upgrade to a 5th wheel and use it in two or three sites a year. |

I am 56, been retired for 6 years, waiting for the grand kids to get a little older, then we are pretty much planning the same thing. Planning to purchase one lot north ( Vermont ) and one south (North Carolina or below) and our yearly trip for October to Cape Hatteras.
We also plan to get a fifth wheel or large RV after our US trip, to settle into and bring back and forth.

My husband and I are full-time in a Teardrop (considering an rpod). Our apartment lease ended March 2015, we sold or donated everything and hit the road. Without a sticks & bricks home, we needed to establish a domicile. Texas, Florida, and South Dakota have been the 3 favorable states for this. We joined the Escapees RV Club where we signed up for their mail forwarding service, and they in turn gave us a physical address. Escapees is located in all 3 states. We registered our vehicles and trailer in Texas, registered to vote, got health insurance, got car insurance, etc. Domicile = "intent to locate there in the future", although there is no obligation to do so". It has worked out beautifully.
If you need further info, contact me or Escapees or me! |

Sounds like a blast! A lot of great info. We are looking forward to full-timing for a while as soon as our grand kids get a little older.

We just started being full time travelers in an rpod. We're in the US in the moment but will also go to Central and South America. Our first month of traveling is already accomplished. We were in Oregon and a bit in California. Canada is next.
Here is an overview of our cost in June: http://blog.picturingtheamericas.com/first-month-travel-summary/

Was the septic etc. Very costly? We have three acres in FL and five acres in MI and were thinking the same thing.

Sounds exciting! I've seen a YouTube video of a couple who are living in an R-Pod (in their case they are newlyweds and pretty young). There are also blogs out there of a couple who are full time travelers. You might want to see what you can find on their sites. I just ran into one (blog) but didn't mark it, so I can't give you the link.
