I am staying at a national park that appears to have good coverage with my primary cellular data provider. I have a back up plan with a different provider. And if all else fails, there are a couple of commercial parks with wifi. So fingers crossed.

I've had wonderful experiences with Cummins Onan service centers in Florida and Indiana. They're all over the country and can usually service you quickly and get you back on the road.

Lots of RV show seminar on fulltiming recommend putting stuff in storage renting house out for 6 months for a trial
Or to at least take a 1 to 3 month trip first

Unfortunately Hurricane Florence paid us a visit here in SE North Carolina which has required us to put our plans on hold for awhile. I will be keeping my eye on this Group so we can gain information on “Best Practices” and what we need to know to start FTimimg.

We are not back to normal after Harvey flooded us last year. The good thing about Harvey...it solidified out plans. When you see all your "stuff" in huge piles out on the street you realize that you don't need that stuff, and we have no desire to replace that stuff. Like Doug n Linda mentioned the contense insurance money is like a blessing so we don't have to sell that stuff. We will complete the house repairs and sell and hit the road! Hopefully sooner than later. less

Then Hurricane Harvey happened and just as MiMiPawPaw stated above, there is something about seeing so much of your "stuff" out on the curb that it really solidified the idea that it was time to downsize and jump into the RV fulltime. It took us five months to sort and clean out the mess in the house, create a storage solution for things we just couldn't let go of or take with us, and get ourselves into a new frame of mind. Now we see the flooding as a blessing for us. We gave away to others in real need and it was easier to let go of many things that we otherwise wouldn't have had the heart to part with. less
Ray and Vicki Tue at 10:16 AM
Thoughts and prayers for a quick recovery from the storm. You'll get through it ... temporary set back to your plan. Keep the dream alive!
Carol Ann Lee Bennett Tue at 10:38 AM
Thanks for your response. We realize Florence slowed us down a bit but we are sticking to our plan. Hopefully by this time next year we’ll be experienced FTers??!
Celene: Mon at 8:48 AM Thank you for adding me to this group. I have a question - I would like to come out of full retirement and work part-time from home. Does anyone do this and if so, what is it that you are doing? All suggestions welcomed. Thank you, in advance, for your assistance.
gypsy ken Mon at 9:23 AM
I was taught as a youngster that "playing the stock market" is legalized gambling for rich folk, and my observations since then, now at age 90, support that view. I've never had the money to gamble with.
Celene Mon at 9:23 AM
Thank you for your great suggestions. I will check back for more. I have 35 years of adminstrative, managerial, accounting. I have a lot of computer knowledge and skills.
Chris & Jennifer [ThxHarvey] Mon at 1:55 PM
There are many part time jobs you can do from home or the RV even. All depends on your skillset and interests. In addition to "workamper" as mentioned above, look at "weworkremotely.com" (this one is free to join) or "flexjobs.com"(small cost).

Peggy and Sam Hines Mon at 3:18 AM
I saw a few of those directed to the residents of the Carolinas fleeing the hurricane. That might have been what you saw.

No, this was in California.

We plan to leave our Class A Winnebago Sightseer 29R at our property in Kentucky and commute by car from Missouri when we can. There are no utilities on the property...yet! I will be using generators and solar panels for general electric, and propane for heat and fridge. Short of winterizing the RV, is there any good way to keep the water lines from freezing while we are staying in the RV? We may be able carry water with us, but I can do without frozen water lines while we are staying in the RV. I thought maybe some skirting around the RV would help, but will it be enough? less

Pattid September 23
Hey, I lived in a camper through winter in Georgia 2 years ago, my water hose froze once, my contractor sent me to home depot for heat tape,I wrapped it around the length of the hose and then the Styrofoam, never froze again
Charles R Baringer SR. (hasbeencowboy) September 23
The heating pad works on AC and (DC it is 12 volts from a battery). Posted for people who hasn't learned the differents.
Lyle & Jan Huff September 23
Using your internal tank, and not connecting a fresh water hose, is the safest. Your furnace will heat the tanks while you are there, but you will have to winterize each time.
Jeff and Sandra Doan September 23Thanks for the advice! I do have a basement and the furnace should keep it above freezing! I forgot about that!

I do have a basement and the furnace should keep it above freezing! I forgot about that! I may be able to use a 12v heating pad if my solar system can keep up! So far it's only 600 Watts, but it will grow with a ground mounted solar array and a storage shed full of batteries and a separate controller! less
Norm & Sharon B: September 23 Headed for Waterloo Iowa for the night. Staying at Lost Island Waterpark KOA. Anything we need to see?
Curtis September 23
Your location shows you in Famile Campground in South Dakota. Check into the KOA park page and check with folks whomare there, or who have come before ya.
Curtis: September 22 Such a great map. Hope to see some color this year! Thanks TheClearyClan
Colorado Slim: September 22 Am heading east in a few days, wondering if anyone knows if you can stay overnight at the Walmart in Colby, KS. I don't see it listed on the "Do not stay" website for Walmart's, but sometimes it is inaccurate. Many Thanks in advance.

Obtain permission from store, per Walmart Corporate Policy. Park in far S part of lot, away from store. SE corner of lot is quieter, as it's away from trucks which tend to park on W side of lot; likely truck noise & I-70 road noise. Well lighted, appears level. No known restaurants in store or within walking distance, but there are at least 10 eating places Exit 53, some on N side and some on S side of I-70." less
SouthParkSteve September 22
Also...there are several rest areas along I-70 in KS that have dump stations if you need one. On my way down to Florida last month, I just stayed at a rest area near Wakeeney (I think that's how you spell it....).
