Full Time Rving Family

P782

I found this very interesting blog that is fun to read and inspiring for any family dreaming of living on the road even if only for a year like the Sorenti-Burns family.

Here is an excerpt from the blog. Go here to get the full story: from: http://fulltimervfamily.com/welcome-to-the-full-time-rv-family-blog.php#more-1

Nope, we are not “professional RV people”…we’re not even experienced RV people.

In fact, we have barely ever camped, RVed or done anything remotely related to “roughing it” in the outdoors. The only other time we ever vacationed in an RV was a three day RV rental that cost us a small fortune to Acadia National Park in Maine over three years ago.

We were so bad at it we vowed we’d never do it again. Never being ones to shy away from completely intimidating tasks that could easily over match us, and despite that first major setback, we decided to give it another go…but this time do it 100% – doing it full time.

Why Full Time RVing?
Most people thought we wouldn’t actually go. We have a nice home in a nice neighborhood with good friends and family nearby. We have good jobs and our kids are doing pretty well in school and life overall is good. We consider ourselves to be very fortunate.

So why throw all that aside and go in an RV full time for a year? The main reason is that we love to travel. We’ve traveled and vacationed in the continental United States and Canada many times before but always felt we never had enough time to really enjoy all the sites, as well as see all the places we’ve always wanted to go to.

So we decided that to get a real taste of what our country is really all about, we had to do it by RV. In fact, this passion to see the U.S is so strong that in spite of our lack of experience and knowledge of RVing full time, we would buy an RV site unseen on the Internet, buy a big honkin’ truck to pull it (twice in fact, but more on that later), take the kids out of school for a year and home school them, totally take our own businesses mobile and travel the country for a year living in an RV full time.
