No, we neither of us would even contemplate full timing. We both enjoy the friends we have locally and the societies and activities we take part in. We both have either paid or voluntary part-time jobs that we have taken on because we wanted to - ie things that we could not do before we retired.
We'd miss our books, space, garden, friends, family, hometown, belonging somewhere and so many other things.
About 6 weeks in the van is the optimum time all in one go we both find. I could happily go off for trips of that length more often but not full time. We get on very well together but I think both of us, if we were honest, miss the company and gossip of friends who we have known for some time and haven't just met that evening.

We have thought about this whenever talking to other people who are 'fullitiming' but I am now absolutely sure I would not do it unless I had to.
By that I mean if everything went horribly wrong financially and I had to sell my house I could move into the van and live I suppose but I would never choose to do it. I don't see why I can't have both because I enjoy both and there is nothing that I can't do living in my house that I could do living in my RV.
I love spending time in my RV for weekends away, holidays and am looking forward in the future to doing some real travelling, even spending a couple of months away at a time no problem and I can see a time when we are older that we spend maybe six months of the year in our RV in the winter in spain. But that would be a holiday not home.
I suppose it takes all sorts and my sort wants both!

Suzy, I think if you had to it would be the wrong thing to do. Fulltiming is a secret only known to fulltimers.
Give some thought to traveling artist Robert Guesinard, age 59, originally from Pecos, Texas. Robert wanders full-time, pushing, not riding, this elaborately-packed bicycle, that has neither pedals nor seat.
