Fulltimers Put Togetherness to the Test: Fulltime in a Truck Camper
You gotta like togetherness. It’s a good thing that Sasha and Laura Jevetich like it, because their
fulltiming world is compactly put in an 8′ 10″ SnowRiver truck camper. We’ll let the Jevtichs explain their reasoning:
“We sold our home May 2007. With the mortgage, the property taxes, utilities, lawn care, storage, newspaper, maid, insurance, HOA fees, and maintenance we were averaging about $3000 a month. We both worked full-time and many of our weekends were cleaning up or maintaining the home. We were feeling stifled by the home. We wanted OUT!
“Most of the reason was that we found a new adventure, we became full-timers in an RV, in our case a Truck Camper. Much smaller than most RVs, it works for our purpose, because we are hardly in it, except to sleep and eat. Sasha works full-time, and I started volunteering at a National Park, so we do not have to pay for a living space, and our utilities are also paid for.”
It hasn’t been the smoothest road, but Sasha and Laura are getting the bugs worked out. In the process they’ve put together a rather definitive website of their life adventure. Many fulltime wannabes will be interested in the precise records of expenses the couple racks up in their fulltime lifestyle.
For example, what do you do with all that “stuff” when you close out your “sticks and bricks” home? For Laura and Sasha, the answer was on the Internet. Small stuff was old on E-Bay, and larger items that would be difficult to ship were sold on Craigslist. They also found that sometimes giving stuff away to charity was a better proposition than an outright sale. For example, CDs might fetch $1.50 in tax deductions where in the real-world they might not have been able to sell them at all.
How do they “make it” in the fulltiming world? Sasha is still holding down a fulltime job, planning ahead for early retirement. Laura stays with the rig and does a lot of camp hosting and other “volunteer” jobs that come with a free RV site. Who knows what the future holds–once Sasha’s done with the nine to five, you never know where you’ll find them. Meantime, Sasha uses a motorcycle for his daily commute.
The couple was recently interviewed by Truck Camper Magazine and the questions and answers read like a pattern for making your getway to the fulltime RV lifestyle. Check it out here.
