Full Timers Roll Call July 10, 2021, 05:29:56 pm Our LD Neighborhood seems to have a good collection of full-timers, who bring a wealth of knowledge based on years of RV experience. The other day I read where one of the LDOF Faithful has full timed for 14 years. That caused me to wonder who are the Full-Timers? I’d like to ask those folks to share how many years they’ve full timed. Kinda of a FTers muster! 1 Likes
Re: Full Timers Roll Call Reply #1 – July 10, 2021, 08:15:01 pm Kind of new at the Full Timing thing. Only since last October!
Re: Full Timers Roll Call Reply #2 – July 10, 2021, 09:31:07 pm I've lived full time in my Laze Daze since the day I bought it almost 14 years ago.Before the Lazy Daze I lived full time on a motorcycle for 7 years.So, I've been a nomadic man for more than 20 years now.Love the lifestyle and wish I had started sooner. 3 Likes
Re: Full Timers Roll Call Reply #3 – July 10, 2021, 09:32:09 pm Technically, I have been a full-timer since August 1, 2019. I have lived in my LD the whole time, but unfortunately, I had my travels suspended due to Covid. I've been doing some parental caregiving and waiting for other family members to get vaccinated so that we can take turns. I've done a few trips around Texas and will be back on the road as of August 28 for 3 1/2 months. My feet are so very itchy! :-) 3 Likes

Re: Full Timers Roll Call Reply #8 – July 11, 2021, 11:13:42 am Full time since June 2016. No regrets.
Re: Full Timers Roll Call Reply #9 – July 11, 2021, 12:14:46 pm Full-time for almost a month now (I think we win for newcomers, lol!)
Re: Full Timers Roll Call Reply #10 – July 11, 2021, 12:21:00 pm Near full timer since 2012, we spend about three months in our Michigan summer cottage, the rest of year in our 04 MB.
Re: Full Timers Roll Call Reply #11 – July 11, 2021, 02:14:43 pm Retired in May 2019 and have been full time since then. Covid slowed down travelling a bit, but I think having a mobile quarantine unit and retirement income minimized any direct negative effects on ourselves. Covid did make my wife want to be closer the the grandkids and so we moved into an apartment last week (I'm not going anywhere near the real estate market in this climate). We'll sadly put the rig on the market and look for a smaller trailer like a Escape or Casita. I have very mixed feelings about that.Mike 1 Likes
Re: Full Timers Roll Call Reply #12 – July 11, 2021, 03:05:43 pm I've been fulltiming for 13+ years and don't wanna stop yet! I almost exclusively boondock, with occasional stays at other types of places. Right now I'm in a national forest in Colorado at 9,000 feet, staying cool. 3 Likes

Re: Full Timers Roll Call Reply #15 – July 11, 2021, 08:51:39 pm I lived in my 2003 Rear Bath since I got behind its wheel in May, 2003...until I purchased a 5th wheel to live in in February, 2021. Second Wind has over 149,000 miles on her, and she's still my trusty means for exploring and visiting. No regrets whatsoever. 3 Likes

Re: Full Timers Roll Call Reply #18 – July 12, 2021, 02:38:43 pm Joan you are correct. I have a new keyboard that creates typos while I'm not looking! The current mileage on Second Wind is 179665. And while I didn't travel in the PNW this Summer, she will be my ride to the Ladeze GTG in Quemado, NM in September...adding another 2 or 3 thousand miles! 4 Likes

I can’t even imagine. Wow.I spent 4 years outside the USA, visiting 38 countries along the way. Wore out that bike, came back to the US and got another one. Did 3 more years and another 100,000 miles before deciding enough was enough.Started looking for what was next and decided a Lazy Daze was it. Took me over a year to find the one for me and I've been living in it ever since.Got lucky and found a nice one owner, well maintained 23.5 FL with 86,000 miles on it. After almost 14 years of full timing, it now has close to 145,000. The old V-8 just keeps plugging along, albeit at 8 mpg. 6 Likes
Re: Full Timers Roll Call Reply #21 – July 12, 2021, 07:57:29 pm Retired March 6 of this year, sold the house, packed the wife into the LD and hit the road. Been living in it since April 26, 2021. traveled the western US coast for the first 2 months and now we’re in the North Cascades NP. Still have eastern Oregon, California, and Utah.
