Three years ago we sold our stick house and went full timing. Most of our furniture went to the kids on a "Temporary long term loan" in case we would ever want to return to a stick home. The stuff that we absolutely can't part with, but don't need to haul around with us is in storage. It only took 20 years to convince Bonnie that full timing was the proper course for us. We have found two unintended consequences from our full timing experience. We can visit friends and family for extended periods of time without imposing. We always go home to our rig every night. If we or they have something else to do neither is in the way of the other. The other consequence is Bonnie's. She can do a complete house cleaning in about 20 minutes. With that she will not consider at this point anything other than full timing.

We have been in the Montana now for 5 years. I agree with others that debt free is a must. We winter for 6 months in the Yuma area, boon docking for $180 for the season. Then we head back to Canada, before Uncle Sam decides he wants us to pay taxes, and park at our daughters, on 80 acres, for free. hubby works 3 days a week, because he wants to right now. As Canadians we pay $118 a month for universal health care, but that will be 0$ when we both turn 65. The only unknown expense is fuel when we travel South and the cost of out of country health insurance for the winter months (last winter it was $2000). So, a simple life for us now after selling our home of 30 years, our Monty is definitely home. As we spend as many hours outside as we can, we don't miss the house at all

Thank you everyone for your experiences and knowledge. I am pretty sure this is what we are going to do, but the house has to sell first and for the right money. So had the realtors come and inspect it and they want us to do a few things first to gain more value. We will be doing house chores and the listing it
