Well S&S (sticks and stucco) Sold know it's time to sell off and give away EVERYTHING. After 14 years 2 people can really accumulate alot of junk. DW sure had to get rid of alot of cloths and shoes, not me though. anyway goin full time very soon.

Heres what ya' do:
Get rid of the junk, sell or dump it.
The really priceless stuff you just can't do without? Rent a storage room and pack it away so it will be there when you stop full timing.
That way, 8 years later you count the amount of money you spent on that storage room and scratch you head and say: "What the hell was I thinking".
Trust me. The voice of experience says. Get rid of everything except 4 pair of socks and 4 pair of underware and head out on you quest.

Congratulations, enjoy your coming journeys.

And yeah, a LOT of junk can indeed accumulate if you're not careful. Just remember, if you ain't used it in the last 6 months, you sure as heck don't need it.

    Just finished that process and now we're tossing extra stuff out of the rig. Having sold the house and moved what we "had" to have into the rig I can understand why, in the horse and wagon days, the trails west were littered with household goods.

    Winter clothes fit in a plastic tub and misc. RV parts it in another tub. My daughters keep the small savable items and that all there is. Living in an RV is a wonderful thing.

    Congrats! Some day in the near future, you will wonder how you managed to get rid of all that "stuff." We are not far from starting year #9 fulll-timing. I have no idea at this time in my life why I had all that stuff.

    DW has already told me she is not going to wait until I die, she is going to have a large yard sale. AND we aren't going to full time at this time.
