Hi

welcome, there are lots of good posts on full timing, there is also a full timers forum .. take your time reading and weigh up the pros and cons.

It's not a long holiday nor living a dream, .. it's a lifestyle, which some find great, others not... there are many things to consider and it's a lot more difficult than many would have you believe.

* Plan your finances.
Sounds obvious, but you must have a sustainable income and sound financial plan..
Budget for an expenditure of at least £12k - £14k per annum.. and that's a minimum, no fancy meals out, extravagant living or expensive sites.

* If you change your mind, have a way back.. a 'get out of jail card'
Too many say , I'll cross that bridge when or if I come to it.. that may be too late.

We have just returned to bricks and mortar after three years 'on the road'. It was a great experience and we have no regrets but are happy to be back under slates, however, it was a lot harder 'getting back' than going away.

Good luck and ask plenty of questions..

jim
