Full-time RVing: to keep the house or to sell
Friday, June 17th, 2011When pondering whether to keep your house or sell it as you transition into full-time RVing, there are a number of factors involved, and a number of questions to ask yourself to help decide if you should keep your house, or sell it.
Financial Stability
Ask yourself, do I need the money from selling my house to support my full-time RVing lifestyle?
Do I make enough money to support both a house and a full-time RV lifestyle?
Can I rent the house while RVing?
Do I have a large enough parachute in case something negative happens to the house or RV while on the road?
Are market conditions good for me to sell the house?
Lifestyle
Am I 100% confident in the lifestyle choice? If not, can I afford a trial period of 6 months or 1 year of RVing?
Will I return to the same town regularly?
Can I get used to sleeping in a different place every night, albeit in the same bed?
Do I have a comfortable home made in the RV?

Once you’ve asked yourself these questions, if all signs point to ‘sell’, give it another few months to be 100% certain in your choice. After that, happy RVing!!
