r/FullTimeRVing

My boyfriend and I both work remotely, our plan was to get a rv and travel using the thousand trails membership. We got the highest package there was to book the most in advance and longer stays.

Our camper was delivered broken: dead batteries, latches were broke, leveling system wouldn’t work, we ended up declining the RV and got our money back.

I reached out to our lovely agent who was very helpful with the sign up. He signed me up not even a week prior. Emailed and called left multiple voicemails. He has not responded. I left a message on the thousands trails membership website requesting a call. No call back. I requested another for a “new membership” they called me within an hour. After I explain I would like to cancel bc our rv fell through. They need to approve by a supervisor and it takes up to a week for cancellation. It’s been over two weeks now. I have sent in a written request via mail. Now going to try to dispute the charges with all my receipts.

Has anyone had any luck with cancellations? This is a 8k membership. Over $300 a month.. IM STRESSED! lol any recommendations?

genuinely curious about this because i've never had a good system for it.

Max has been with me through multiple states, a couple of different vets, one emergency visit that i was not prepared for, and every time i'm sitting in a new vet's office trying to remember when his last vaccine was or whether i have the paperwork somewhere in the rig.

i know people at home probably have a folder somewhere or just rely on their regular vet to keep everything. but when you're moving around, that whole system kind of falls apart.

do you have something that actually works? a folder, an app, photos on your phone, just vibes and hope? or is this one of those things we're all quietly winging?

My boyfriend and I are looking to get out of nyc and jump into full time camper/rv living. We feel a little stuck when we can’t exactly afford to live in the city, but have spent so much rent that we can’t leave our jobs to get out either. We’re both nearly 30 so this part might sound crazy but his parents HATE the idea. They’re pissed. We need tons of advice for this life change but right now I’m wondering how to deal with those around us who don’t understand why we want to do this. How were you able to calm your loved ones and help them understand? Then of course please share actual living advice you found insightful. Thank you

Newbie here. Looking at purchasing a class C doing my research on the best manufacturers, but I’d also like the community opinion on the best dealers to purchase from.

Hi folks!

Long time lurker here. I have previous experience living in my travel trailer (Gulfstream Vintage 19ERD) for about 3-4 months in coastal North Carolina several years ago. I’m looking to full time again, but I’m in Virginia (DC-adjacent) and wanting to do it year round. I am thinking I’d upgrade to an RV, as I’d like more space and the ability to tow my car.

My biggest concern is the climate. I did my living in NC from August-November. It was perfect weather. Winters in VA are not harsh necessarily (I’m from Wisconsin) but I would want to mitigate risk of plumbing problems, and even finding a full time site I know could be tricky.

Who out there is full timing in areas that get snow / cold? Tips and tricks? Best way to find parks? Anything helps! I’m probably about one year out from making the purchases and the move and want to start really seriously thinking about this.

Thank you in advance!🙂

Does anyone use all solar for their power source?? Or anybody have any other ideas. Looking for free energy options

I want to move out of my parents house & buy an RV (not motorized) but all the places I have seen that are Not for elders are really sketchy. I live in Tucson, is there any where you guys recommend looking into?

I want a nice calm park that is more for families. Something long-term!
