Thank you to all who posted replies. This forum is a great resource, not only for those living the RV life, but also for those who are uncertain of things but dream of what it might be like. So from what I gathered of the responses, this is what I got: 1. Don't make any extreme decisions...

We only borrowed 230k...but realize you pay back at least twice that much. We bought the house because we were tired of paying rent. Seemed like logical step. It is in a growing suburban area 30 mi north of Dallas with high growth potential. So the house will be an asset. We may try to pay it...
