'Fulltimer' is a term that is debated by some; that is they debate over what constitutes being a fulltimer. For us, our only home is Harvey . . . the motorhome.
 
But we feel anyone is a 'fulltimer' if they consider the 'portable homestead' as being their main home. We will leave the finer details, arguments, and judgments to others. Anyway if you are a fulltimer, wish to be a fulltimer, or are just interested in learning more about full-timing . . . here are a few resources that we have found helpful.
