Early Planning Stages from a Full-Time RVer

[MnMgo]

Hi all, we're starting to get serious about trading our 43-foot motorhome for a comparable boat in the future, probably in late 2027. We live in our motorhome and don't have a "sticks and bricks" house now, and we plan on living (or mostly living, not sure yet) on the future boat. We'd probably like to home base in Florida somewhere.

Lots of planning and reading on this and other forums in my future! I'm looking forward to every minute of it.


It comes with its own challenges, but we love it.

In case you haven’t heard of them, Gone With the Wynns transitioned from their RV to a Leopard 43. Their YT library is full of videos of their journey from land to sea, done in Florida.

I see a lot of posts about restrictions in FL that make live-aboard more challenging. Perhaps hard to predict what it will be like in 2027.

Good luck!

Nice! I used to follow them to get ready for RV full-timing a few years ago. I'll check them out again, thanks for the tip.

I think any time you live your life in an out-of-ordinary way it will be challenging, but the rewards are worth it. I'll keep an eye out for that information, though, thanks.

Welcome to CruisersForum!

I would suggest updating your profile with your general location and your boat make & model or “Looking” in the "Boat" category. This info shows up under your UserName in every post in the web view. Many questions are boat and/or location dependent and having these tidbits under your UserName saves answering those questions repeatedly. If you need help setting up your profile then click on this link: https://www.cruisersforum.com/forums...ml#post3308797

I would happily help more if the link above is not enough.
