Progress towards the fulltiming goal

We are still living in the motorhome on the side yard of our "sold" house for now. We sold all the furniture, did a yard sale of the bulk of the "stuff", and donated a large car load to charity. The house is almost empty.

We are still arranging and re-arranging our motorhome storage space for the stuff we are keeping with us, and have a storage facility for stuff we are keeping but not taking with us.

The house inspections are complete, the appraisal covered the sales price, and everything is progressing nicely.

We move to a local campground for about 6 weeks on Feb 22 before the house closes on Feb 27. We are doing all the change of address, email change etc. We still have final vision, dental and medical appointments, and Dan works until 6 March, Sandy 19 March.

We are doing a few motorhome upgrades in the meantime (new fresh water/grey water/black water monitor, and a tow brake system install).

We are working on establishing South Dakota domicile. We have mail forwarding from Rapid City, plates for the motorhome and tow car so far. We will make a quick car trip to SD for drivers license and voter registration late March. Dan's sister lives near Rapid City, and has invited us to stay with her while we do the change on the documents. In our research, SD, FL, and TX had the best domicile for full time RV travelers. Dan's sister in SD sealed the deal for us.

Our son Shaun will stay in our motorhome with the 4 cats (2 too many) here in Albuquerque for the 5 days it will take us for a quick car trip to SD to accomplish the final changes on domicile.

Thanks for joining us our journey. For those of you with blogs, we are reading your posts as well. What a wonderfull advantage cell phones and the internet have given us for full time RV travel.
