sticks & bricks definition:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

A regular house, condo, apartment, or dwelling on some type of permanent foundation that does not have wheels. Sticks & bricks have a physical address. Sticks & bricks are always located at the same place on the map.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]

Have you ever thought about giving up your sticks & bricks and going full-time RV?<\/b><\/h2>\n

That\u2019s exactly what we did, two years ago, in our new-to-us 2016 Entegra Aspire. We named her <\/span>Charlie-The-Unicorn RV<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

People have so many questions about living, working, and traveling full time in an RV!\u00a0<\/span>We did, too. We had no idea how or what we were doing \u2013 the logistics of it all \u2013 when we made the decision to go full time. We figured it out, mostly in the 60 days before we took off on this exciting and unknown adventure.<\/span><\/p>\n

And, of course, we\u2019re still learning.<\/span><\/p>\n

So if you are thinking, planning, dreaming, or just wondering about the logistics and transition to full-time RVing from full-time sticks & bricks, keep reading\u2026 If we can survive this adventure, you can, too!\u00a0<\/span>I\u2019ll do my best to share our experience and answer those burning FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions).<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font_size=”24px” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
