I was just reading a thread on Escapee's forum defining full-time and I wondered how many here consider themselves full-time. Then there was the question of what the definition of full-time is. Most would say 365-24-7, however some say it is if they spend more time in their RV than in their home.
I don't think there are any clear cut numbers of how many are actually living in their RV....especially if they have financed their unit as most banks don't want to do a loan if the client says they are full-time.
So what is YOUR definition of full-time?

I can tell you what my insurance company says is full time.

I keep my trailer set up at a campground in VA and stay in it when I'm in the area. They said since it is in a campground on a full time basis they have to charge me for fulltimer's insurance.

A full timer to me is a person, couple or small family that; does not have any other abode and actually moves their RV at least occasionally. If the RV does not ever move it is just a small mobile home and as such is no longer an RV. If you have a house that you stay in on occasion, you are no different than a snowbird.

We consider ourselves fulltime because we live in our trailer and have no other home to live in. We have a small farm in east Texas where we set up on our own place for a few months during the year. I guess if fuel gets too high or we decide not to travel anymore, we can stay fulltime on our own place. Right now, I wouldn't even consider living in a house, we love living in our trailer. We like east Texas during the fall and spring, but love to leave winter and summer.

We to consider ourselves Full-Timers since we live full time in our MS.
Hubby hasn't retired and we lived in ours for one year before taking it on it's first trip in Oct. of this year.
We have since moved to a new park and now have cement all around us
with a large patio and small lawn area where I plant flowers but our home is our MobileSuite and we love living in it...wouldn't even think of a stick house at this time in our lives. Of course, we are looking forward to moving around here and there after he retires but that won't happen for another year!

We have no other home and live in the trailer as an RV not a fixed park model. I'm with the 365 24/7 crowd as a definition of full time.

24/7/365 here too.
If you don't move it then it not truly a RV. If it is left in 1 park 365 then they don't know what the problems of RVing are.
Tire, suspension, slide, and tow vertical don't come into the picture when your not moving it around.
