Finally Fulltimers

[beetlebob]

Better get it weighed before you go to far. Sounds like you put A LOT of things inside.

Best of luck Stan and Lynn!

Ron and I are (hopefully) just a few months away from the beginning of our FT adventure...I will be following closely! We're in Florida (Sarasota) and hoping to get to Maine in the Spring - sounds like we might have a similar route. We're also registered for the Canopener so hope to meet you both then.

I would be interested in seeing pictures of how you have outfitted your AS. We have a 2011 27FB and I just might want to be a copycat!

Lastly, what did you find to be the best way to "cull" down your belongings. Looking around our house I get so overwhelmed on how to actually sell, donate, get rid of "stuff" I become paralyzed. We'll store sentimental items (which we'll limit) and I'm not all that attached to the rest, but getting it all to go bye-bye -- what do you suggest?

Can't wait to hear about your travels.

We are envious. See you at Canopener, if not before.

Hi Karis!

I didn't see this until now because we've been too busy getting rid of all our stuff to start full-timing too! I'd be happy to offer my newfound advice. Private message me your email address?

PS: This was our yard sale sign. It got a lot of attention!!

We unexpectedly sold our house in 1 day and were faced with getting rid of all our stuff (except for some artwork and papers put in storage) in a very short period. We hired an estate sale company. They did all the sorting, pricing, selling. The cut they took was well worth it to us. They even recommended a "clean out" crew who took all the unsold stuff to charity AND cleaned the house for the new owners. We were actually on the road, full-timing, before the actual closing.

When we sold our cottage (cabin) we did a similar thing - we got an auction company to take care of the sale for us. We removed everything we wanted to keep, they took care of everything else.
