Jayco virgin!
Hi everyone!I turn 51 in 3 weeks so heck with normal life, sell the house, trade in the truck, sell every possession and hit the road!!!!
We bought a 2012 Jayco Pinnacle 5th wheel. We bought a 2015 Ford F-250 that I just received the VIN # on a few days ago. We are having special upgrades done so it's still on the assembly line.
We sold the house last week so it's full steam ahead.
We are very excited and a full time RV life!
Happy to be here!

That sounds great Gypsy. I'm 56 and still traveling 37 miles each way to and from my job. I'm hoping I can just stay alive till I'm 60 and maybe have enough money to do what you are doing. Good luck to you!

Thanks everyone! Hubby was forced to retire early after 34 years with the same company. I'm disabled from Health issues. We have nothing but time, I don't have any family so there's nothing keeping us anywhere. I have a bucket list to check off while I can! I joined Harvest Hosts so we plan to do some winery hoping!

Congratulations on making the move. We're 6 years into our 5 year plan and expect to be good to go in 2. (Pause while you re-read that). I see you're looking for a stuffed pig. Add Austin Mn to your trip planner and stop by the Hormel offices.

Congratulations, Gypsy, and welcome to The Forum! I did the same thing last July, and haven't regretted a moment of the "Full-Time" life! Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
