We fulltime and sold everything that did not fit into our fifth wheel, all bar a couple of family heirlooms which are being kept by our daughter.
Yes i,m going to put as much as l can in the RV fill the lockers will big plastic boxes with labels on and a good safe, l can use my daughters address for ins and tax and penions when i,m old, Paul
Hate to dampen your spirits but when my neighbours sold up last year to move to Brittany they had to give their furniture away. If you consider trying to sell it off, just be prepared to watch your most expensive and prized possessions go for next to nothing!Sold my house moving out soon, do l store the best bits of furniture or sell the lot and live in my RV.......

We sold up a couple of years ago and thankful that we did. The number of fulltimers who can't really enjoy the freedom because they have a house somewhere is depressing. Just said goodbye to a Danish couple here in Sicily going back because there is no-one else to mow the grass!Hate to dampen your spirits but when my neighbours sold up last year to move to Brittany they had to give their furniture away.

live the dream by all means but make a contingency plan of some sort just in case.
My uncle sold his house to live on a narrowboat. he was happy as a pig in ..... then his wife died so he was alone on the boat. Then he fell ill so that he couldnt use the boat. He had to move in with family but luckily they made use of the boat. Others may nor be so lucky.
Just consider this point before commiting fully. then once decided do it and dont look back:thumb:

Sell it all!
The cost of storage will quickly outstrip the value of your stored items and you can buy new and better things when you need to
You'll also cut out the hassle of paying for and monitoring storage
This puts quite a different light on what to do about material things etc now.I lost my wife in 2008 and decided not to do anythink for 12 months, and found l just rattle round a big house so thats why l sold, l know were your coming from and found the last 12 months a challege even going away in the RV but sadly life go,s on and now l am just begining to get on with things Paul

You dont dampen my spirit l agree with you just wanted members views l would proberly take most of it to the tip or charity shops, when l moved from a big farm house a couple of years ago l took loads of RV bits to the stratford show and sold them under my awning, now if l carnt eat it wear it drink it or drive it l dont buy it,oh: Paul

Except for Red Cross shops John. They will take anything, particularly clothing.dont rely on the charity shops to take it.....
they are very particular these days and if it aint in A1 first class condition they'll turn there nose up at it.:Angry:
We ebayed, dumped, charity shopped everything except five boxes of photos, kids trophies,teddies, keepsafes etc that we have left at various family members for 10 years.
We have now bought a house( yes papajohn, there are other options than renting ) and furnished it through ebay, charity shops and of course Ikea.
The five boxes were fun to open and look through, the photos were a laugh, the five boxes have reduced to one, the rest binned or charity shopped and the remaining one has been bundled up again and put in the cellar.
Storage is just so expensive it was never an option.

hi, lot's of interesting view's regarding full timing, i also lost my other half in 2008,and rattle around in a 4 bed house, and i have been thinking about doing like wise, but i would need a back-up in case i needed to return for what ever ie ill health, you just don't know what's round the corner, as i found out when my late wife was taken ill at 45 year's old, one way i could go is to down size and let the property out, giving me extra income and security at the same time.:thumb: . you only have to look at the expat's in spain who can't afford to stay due to the value of their pension's dropping

That depends on the age factor.Now is a good time to buy (and a bad time to sell).
