If you answered yes to question #4, please continue.

4f.What’s the best part of living in an RV full time?
being able to travel and see new things

4g. what’s the worst part?
for me, not seeing family as often
for DH, not having a shop/tools to tinker with

If yes, when? when we get tired of moving every week

4i. Do you travel extensively within the U.S.A.? or do you park the RV in campgrounds for extended periods? We usually don't stay anywhere longer than a week.

Yes No circle one NO (exception is when we are visiting family). There is so much out there to see that we haven't been going back to the same places.

Don't get in a big rush. Take your time. If you like a place, stay a few days extra. If you don't like it, move on.


4l. What was your jumping in point? What made you go ahead and take the plunge?
We moved into our MH fulltime 2 days before Hurrican Katrina hit and never moved back into our house (Slidell, LA). We spent about 7 months repairing our home. Mental and emotional stress was at an all time high. DH became eligible to retire. I was already retired. We sold the house. DH retired, and we hit the road. Our original plan was to take 2-3 month trips, and then have the house to go home to between trips. Katrina changed our plans.

I assume since you haven't been back that the admin didn't answer you? I'd take this approach - post your list and if they object they'll remove the post. In the meantime we can be answering your questions. I'd really like to see the questions and the answers.


I'll post the answers...but it won't be right away. Thanks!!

Thanks so much for all your responses.

I'll post my research paper, if I can, as well as my grade!

My paper is not due until later in the semester, so I'll continue doing research and recording answers for a couple more weeks.

Are there any additional questions that I might ask?
