New Year --- Full-timer?


DL Rupper

Senior Member
This year may bring a big change in my hallowed status as a Full-timer. The drop in interest rates and housing prices have FORCED me to take a realistic look at my continued RVing outlook. Therefore, with advancing feeble mindedness and a blasphemous heart, I'm negotiating for a Condo in Ohio.

This may and I say may bring about a future change in my status as a Full-timer and require a humbling change to part-time (spring/fall) RV'er. I will accept all condolences with a heavy heart and head hung in shame.

Wow what a sad news start for the new year. Now DL, you know ya'll can't be happy just part timing :( What about those diesel fumes :dead: and remember once in that condo you can't move when you have bad neighbors :laugh: . All the best in whatever decision ya'll make DL but we will miss all the adventures you tell here while fulltiming.

Sadly it's true. This just might be the right time. Of course on the bright side, it all might fall through. :laugh: I really don't like RVing in the summer much anyway. Too hot, too many kids, bonfires, and dogs. Bah humbug, just getting old. ;)

I'll just have to add extra DieselKleen to the diesel in the fall/spring so I get my fix of good smelling fumes.

Remember DL, diesels are made to run and now since you will be a parttimer ya'll have to go gas and smell the gas fumes :laugh: :laugh:

Hey DL good luck on the new adventure. We have a condo now and most likely will never full-time. Just do the few months at a time. We have too many irons in the fire to full-time, I have too many hobbies and too many related items to ever fit in any RV as does the wife. But I feel a condo is the way to go if one can afford to do so. Other than paying the bills the condo itself is maintainance free, other than the inside so a turn of the key and I am on the road. Besides we have the habit of collecting small memory items(art and treasures) everywhere I go so I will have things to remind me of my travels when I can no longer do so. Plus the wife an I Do travel where the RV can't take us plus a family cabin in the San Juan Islands that we enjoy.
To Each his own.

DL I am sorry to hear that, I know it was a hard decision just to think about it, must less make an offer. I know most of us on the forum wish you the best and hope you stay on line so we can pick your brain on some of the best camping grounds , and related RV problems, remember Rod (730) and Nash are to be trusted just so much :laugh: . I guess with 14 years under your belt you are well travel and have a memory most of us only dream of. Although I have never met you in person, and I was hoping to do so, I feel that I am losing a friend. So good luck in the future and park the Dodge out front and go smell the fumes to keep you on track. :laugh: :laugh:

Wow! Now this is news...what kinds of options will you have with the condo if you change your mind? Can you lease it out or will you be stuck?

Hey DL, sure you don't want to park your unit down South and visit it when you can?

Well DL that is a long time to be in an RV....are you sure you'll know how to act in a condo with all that room? You'll probably be trying to stuff things under the sofa and walking around out side trying to figure out how to dump the tanks on the condo!

DL and his lady (in that old Dodge truck) will pull up to the curb next to the driveway at the new condo .

The lady will get out at the end of the driveway and walk up the driveway looking all around for obstructions while DL starts backing that diesel burner into the driveway and watching those side mirrors; first right, then left.

Meanwhile, that dear lady is waiting at the garage door quickly waving her right hand forwards to back, "Come on, hurry up! I gotta pee!"

They then both realize they don't have the 5ver on the back! :clown:

Re: New Year --- Full-timer?

Thanks for all the advice and funny comments. We won't know for awhile if we will be part timers. We either had to rent an apt at some point in time or get a condo. Time wise with the economy a condo looks good now. We will probably spend more time each year in the RV than in the condo.

This was my idea and I sprung it out of the blue on the wife. She's OK with it as long as we get out spring and fall.
