    That sounds good to me as well, we were thinking of doing a similar trip , but we are 5 yrs away from that .to go for 6 months though!
    Our only concern was renovating our retirement home (currently being rented)before or after we start to travel.
    I said to the wife to travel first and the renters can pay for our way and when we get back to kick them out and start the renovations after instead of before

    Yes travel first. You never know when something can happen to change your life. Do it as soon as you can. We really weren't planning on do it this early. (I am 50) When we met with our accountant and he told us we wouldn't live long enough to to spend all of our money. (this is based on us living like we do now and not going crazy buying stuff) Then we said let's do it now.

    What I did not expect is that it is so much cheaper living full time in the RV. I have put it all in a spreadsheet and believe I added enough contingencies to cover anything that could happen. It came up to about 60% of our current cost of living per month, so we will be saving 30-40% each month. This will just add to the nest egg. I couldn't believe it so I keep rerunning the numbers. Added even more oh shit money and we still will be less.

    Hope I am right.
