Walk us through that conversation, the decisions, and the whole process, 'cause that's a big change.

Mark DouyardGUEST
Yeah, so this is our fifth summer camping with a fifth wheel, and a couple years ago we went for almost 12 weeks and decided that was a bit of a budget buster, 'cause we still have a home that we maintained.

Mark DouyardGUEST
And last year I looked at Barb and I said, "What do you think if we did this full time?" And she said, "I don't wanna sell the house." So when we got home, we met with our realtor, found out that we were in a market that would be easy to rent, and so we made the decision to go on the road.

Mark DouyardGUEST
Originally we were thinking about going on the road for one year, and then the realtor recommended that we take all of our personal stuff, empty out the house, put everything in storage, which meant that we'd have moving expense.

Mark DouyardGUEST
It, it probably took us a good six months of planning from the time we met with the realtor to determine renting the house, what we were gonna rent the house for.
