In this episode (three of six) of "The Road to Full-Time RV Life," Charles Calabritto—your RV Freedom coach and nomadic homeowner since 2018—explains why successful RV transitions don’t begin with a purchase… they begin with a plan.

You’ll learn how to avoid the most common mistake people make when they get excited about RV life: jumping into decisions before defining their values.
 Charles introduces one of his core planning tools: the RV Transition Triangle—Quickly, Inexpensively, or Comfortably: pick two.
 It’s a practical way to bring clarity and intention to your timeline, your budget, and your lifestyle goals.

If you’re ready to stop second-guessing yourself and start designing your life with purpose, this episode gives you the mindset—and the tools—to do it right.
