Much good information and thoughts have been shared and I hope more to come. My bride still has many concerns and rightfully so as it’s a step in a very different direction that we are taking, I think it’s only fair to add some additional pieces of our story for a clearer picture of our end goal and perhaps make me look a little less wreck less as well. We now have the opportunity to travel full time if we wish or something in between, not without limits mind you but realistically secure and safely. What we both feel is this; we have never been very happy doing what we have been doing over the years and desperately desire something different. We have bought homes in small towns and homes in large cities living downtown, owned ranches in the Texas hill country raised horses, cattle, goats, deer and lamas and never found a desire to stop looking elsewhere for yet something new to do. I am 50 and Michelle is 10 years younger but with some medical issues which is why we purchased the bus in the first place allowing us the ability to travel even if she was having health complications. We are currently negotiating on a piece of commercial property in Texas just off I.H.35 between Waco and Dallas, our intention to purchase a warehouse type property downtown allowing us ample room to park our bus and room for an additional bus space inside for our visiting friends complete with all hookups. Inside we will also construct a small one bedroom open type concept dwelling using it for a base for travels and room to live outside of the bus when we are there. Michelle and I are placing our Stephenville house on the market next week but who knows how long in this current market it will take to sell and at what price, so we are also considering using some of the extra space for RV and boat type contract storage allowing the property to become more self sustaining if we need it to be. Not having a place to have our stuff just seems unwise, and at some point we will perhaps even tired of always moving about without a base point for grounding so a “place” we both feel is a must both for our mental wellbeing and financially something to gain in value as we grow older… just not a conventional house with a conventional yard. We have met some extremely good people in our travel and believe that there are many more friends and places we have yet to experience. I see this as our best chance for something different for us both…if you dont do something different then how can you expect a different result...ed
