My personal definition, before I bought my 5er, was to live in the unit 12 months a year, AND travel frequently (monthly or more)equalled being a full timer.
I travel 6 months and work in one location 6 months. I found under my personal definition I was feeling a little as if I was "cheating" to call myself a full timer.
Gee, since I truly live in it full time, what else am I? As to snowbirds and others who don't travel often, how can they be any less a full timer than I?
Long timer? 7 month full timer? What's the diference if you kept your stick house? We are all "trailerites" as defined in Lucille Ball's movie THE LONG, LONG TRAILER.
I suppose we on this forum are Montanans also, at least in one sense.
Labels divide. Groups unite. I think I am just ...not an RVer, no motor in the trailer. Not a camper at least to my backpacking buddies. I guess I will stick with fulltimer a my self-imposed label.
At least in the campground I am not defined by my occupation.
BTW I don't know what boondocking is either, but I know I don't do it. I prefer hook ups. Just personal choice
Happy trailering,
gene
