Hi everyone I am not yet in a van but I making plans now to do so. First gotta sell my house. I moved to Corpus Christi,bought a house after my husband died and thought that this would be my retirement place and lived here 8 yrs. Now the itch has returned. My husband and I had moved many places during our marriage. I am now 70 .I am young at heart but old of body and I am dying by degrees from just sitting around. I did garden but arthritis has put an end to that. My son states I need to get traveling again to which I agree. So my next stop is to Arkansas and the to Florida's panhandle. Just gotta sell my house........

This is a great time to be selling a house in Texas. The real-estate industry is typically "feast or famine." Right now it feast for sellers. That could blow up in the next two years. Some people say that now is the best time to sell. Good luck getting into an RV or conversion van. Prices on those will drop soon enough as the summer RVing industry goes into winter. People build their own rigs because most RV's are built cheaply. There is one company that builds with all aluminum, but they are trailers. So there is nothing to rot out that way. Trailers can be more difficult if you are alone. Backing into places can be a challenge at first. Some Class B motorhomes are really nice and really expensive. There are custom conversion van companies out there too.
Have fun. Welcome to the Nomads.
