Well folks, exactly two years ago as of the day this is published, we closed on selling the house and went full-time for good.
Since then, after two years, twelve trips (14 total), 27 states (31 total), and nearly 50,000 miles later, this has been quite the ride. Surprisingly we are still in the same trailer, although we've since switched vehicles and spent a good chunk of the time in a mobile home apartment attached to a workamping office. We're a long ways from when we were piling all the rest of what we had into the trailer and rushing to get it into storage so we could have somewhere to sleep, but we've since figured out what we need, what we don't, what works for us, and how we can enjoy our lives to the fullest.
Taking a look back even to the six month post, the one thing we've learned is that we really have to be able to fly by the seat of our pants. Configurations have changed a few times both inside and out as we discover what works for us, but that's the beauty of a house being on wheels: As the landscape outside changes, so do things inside. We've had to make some additional changes electronically, and though it seems for the better now, perhaps it will change in the future. We're finally OK with using the stove, but haven't touched the oven. The patio kitchen has had upgrades, fun for both of us to use.
So what's in store for the future? It'd be tough not to say "more of the same", but as of right now, that's what it will be. Figure out where to go next, plan it all out, and then live life in a different environment. We're not at the point where we want to settle on a couple of different places yet, but we do have some favorites. We've also met some wonderful people, and maybe they'll get a visit from us; who knows. That's the beauty of living on the road: We never know, and can do pretty much whatever, wherever.
So be sure to Follow Your Internal Compass as we continue on our journey through this great country of ours.
