Looking back on my RV journey...
I purchased my RV in April 2011 and began my full-time journey in November of 2011.
1st night @ Lazydays RV in Florida
Although I had looked at some RV's at dealers in IL and checked out a few on Craigslist, I pretty much just jumped into this RVing life. I found my RV on a website. The dealer sent me measurements and videos of the interior. For a small refundable deposit they held it for me until I was able to get to Florida after tax season.
When I arrived in FL, I had never driven an RV. Luckily, Lazydays RV in Seffner, FL offered a free driving class. A few hours after finishing the class, I was heading down the highway.
I would like to have a "home base" someday. A small piece of land to park the RV, maybe a few outbuildings. Just a place to stop and rest between travels. I really am not interested in owning a house again. Of course, I could change my mind in the future.
Red rocks of Utah - near Bryce Canyon
North Rim of the Grand Canyon
I've worked at Mesa Verde National Park, Grand Canyon North Rim and in the town of Cody, WY near Yellowstone. I also worked at the South Padre KOA and volunteered at Laguna Atascosa NWR in South Texas.
It is an amazing experience to live/work for several months at a national park, most visitors only stay a few hours.
I have overnighted in only a handful of states so far...
Florida - Mississippi - Missouri - Illinois
Kansas - Colorado - Arkansas - Texas
Wyoming - Montana - New Mexico
Utah - Arizona - Oklahoma - Iowa and Louisiana

I work seasonally and I have the freedom to travel, explore and visit with family whenever and wherever I want. I am not limited to a specific number of vacation days and I do not have to worry about getting back to a home that needs to be taken care of.
My hopes and dreams are to travel to all the corners of the U.S. and Canada - Alaska is high on the list.
Wishing you Health, Happiness and Prosperity
