Full timers range from being forced to live in a broken down car to having a successful exit and buying a million dollar class A. It depends on who you talk to.

Full timers range from being forced to live in a broken down car to having a successful exit and buying a million dollar class A. It depends on who you talk to. Some people choose it, some don't. Many who don't are making the best of their situation so they're trying to be positive about it.
I live in a bus. I choose this life. I know many others who also made this choice. I could afford a decent mortgage if I wanted to. Instead I'm exploring the country while I put that money towards paying off other debt and into savings. At some point I'll buy real estate but not today.
- Balgair 8y agoThank you very much for the additional viewpoint! Is there a good resource available for others to see this flip-side better? Do you have a blog or other book that you could recommend? Again, thanks!
- driverdan 8y agoThere are many depending on which segment you want to look at. Most RV clubs (eg Escapees[1]) cater to retired people who have sold their houses to travel in RVs. Vanlife / vandweller[2] type sites mostly cater to 20-40 somethings choosing the lifestyle. Some, like Cheap RV Living[3], cater to a wide range including those forced into it. There are also forums dedicated to people building their own vehicles. Cheap RV Living has one. Skoolie.net[4] focuses on buses. Then there's a whole segment of adventure / overlanding vehicles such as Expedition Portal[5]. 1: https://www.escapees.com/ https://www.escapees.com/ 2: http://reddit.com/r/vandwellers/ http://reddit.com/r/vandwellers/ 3: https://www.cheaprvliving.com/ https://www.cheaprvliving.com/ 4: http://www.skoolie.net/forums/ http://www.skoolie.net/forums/ 5: https://www.expeditionportal.com/ https://www.expeditionportal.com/
