Introduction
Vision and Overview
It is my vision to see all those who have made this choice, be well equipped for their new adventure. And to be able to hit the road in a shorter period of time than it took my wife and I.
With this course, you can expect to get the knowledge that you need to start your adventure without having to stress over doing the research yourself. You could actually be living your Full Time RV Lifestyle, within 60 days of starting the course. If all goes according to plan. But you will have a plan. I want to share with you a direction that my wife and I did not have when we made our choice to go fulltime.
The Course
Module 1 will ask and answer What is the Fulltime RV Lifestyle?, what is your reason why?, you will define your dream, and answer the question, what is the Mindset of the Fulltime RVer?
Module 2 will Prepare you for the Dream. You have to make decisions about your home, you have to downsize in order to live in an RV and deal with your stuff, and you should choose your domicile, mail delivery, and insurance.
Module 3 is Your New Home or RV choices, preparing your RV for the Road, and getting down to the nitty gritty of planning a budget for your new adventure.
Module 4 is Your Life on Road. The type of camping choices (like buying land for your RV, RV parks, BLM), RV Clubs and Membership Campgrounds, and how to keep in touch with loved ones.
Module 5 is Your RV. You should know something about your RV, maintenance tips, and items you should have with you. Insurance
Module 6 is Recommended items for Your RV Lifestyle. Trip planning, organization, and tools. And we will end with having an Escape Plan.
Meet the Teacher
Hi, my name is Fred Rye. My wife Kerry and I started our Fulltime RV Lifestyle nine years ago. I was in my thirty-eighth year working as a Film Projectionist at a Film Studio in Hollywood California. At the end of the year, 2013, I had to early retire because digital technology took over my profession that year. Although there were some jobs available in the digital field, they were not being offered as full-time employment. Needing a full-time income, I chose to retire. At my retirement party, when asked what I was going to do, I did not say “I’m going to Disneyland”, no, I said I am going to sell the house and live in my motorhome fulltime. My wife and I were not sure where to start, we had a dream, but we did not have a plan. We had to do a lot of research to know where to start. So many questions to ask and find the answers to. Like, sell the house, downsize or belongings, develop a budget for our new adventure, so much to do, and no direction.
