Hi Lynwood,
It was a little of both. We have all way's been into camping. My Dad gave us his Airstream when we were first married and we would park at the beach and go to work from there for about 2 to 3 weeks at a time and loved it. Then family started and of course we had to have a home for the kids. We have 4 daughters 3 of them were adopted. I don't think the adoption agency would loved it if we were living in the trailer at the time. But we kept on camping. Got our first 5th wheeler back in 1994 when the kids were in there teen's.
When Sofia and I turned 55 in 2010 we retired and traveled with a 5th wheel for about 4 to 6 months at a time. We were running into full timers and we were all way's asking question's to them about the full timing life style. Of course we saw some of the bad that goes with it also. The poor folk's that were living in broken down trailer's that should have not even been out on the road.
But what happen here was my older brother took sick and I took him in to care for him. He and his wife were living in a car at the time and his health was really bad. He passed away almost 2 years ago and the sister in law went back to be with her family. So we were in this huge house with just the 2 of us on 22 acres of land and very big electric bill's (all electric home). started to travel more with the trailer and I started to go to Motorcycle show's around the country. I got into a toy hauler, cheap one, and we were kind of full timing with it. When this last winter came up on us. Not a lot of snow but very very cold (15 to 22 deg's for about a month). We froze being inside that toy hauler. was not a 4 season trailer.
We were at a trailer show back in January back in California when we saw the Montana line up. Sofia 1 question was how cold can you live in the trailer before you freeze up..LOL We both liked the answer and then we saw it. The front bathroom 3931FB. We both fell in love with the floor plan and we had to get one. So that's where we are at now. This was our second night and it been great. We had everything done and put away when we moved in here on Friday. So hopefully we should be good to go...
I didn't mean to write you a novel but you did ask and this was the only way I new how to answer you. again Lynwood thanks for all of you help with us and also you kindness. That mean's a lot to Sofia and myself.
May you be Blessed by GOD the all mighty one all way's
