A Gen X empty nester sold her house to travel by RV full time. Here's what life is like after five years of traveling.
"We were mostly stationary for almost the first year. We were kind of going with the flow. That was the plan, to save money while living this lifestyle to pay cash for property and a house one day, so when we are done traveling we will have no payments."
"After spending the summer of 2024 in Alaska, her husband suggested visiting the remaining 20 states they hadn't been to with an RV, hitting every state before their five-year nomad anniversary in October 2025. That's a big milestone to say you've lived in an RV and traveled in it for that long."
Patty and Shane Gill, full-time RVers in their 50s, sold their Texas home in October 2020 during the pandemic housing market to pursue life on the road as empty nesters. Initially staying mostly stationary within Texas, they gradually embraced full-time RV living after previously enjoying weekend camping in an RV. After spending summer 2024 in Alaska, Shane suggested visiting the remaining 20 states they hadn't explored, motivating them to complete all 50 states before their five-year nomad anniversary. They recently purchased a small piece of land in Texas as a home base while planning to build a tiny home, aiming to pay cash for property with savings from their nomadic lifestyle.
