Wow, that's a lot of change. I recommend to proceed with any changes very slowly. If it were me, I would not buy such an expensive rig until back to a steady-state condition.

Words of wisdom and restraint are what I am looking for, friend. I appreciate it.

If selling the big house and buying a popup truck camper means living full time in a FWC, then it might be a good idea to consider a van or other RV before spending big dollars on any RV.

That is sensible. I was thinking of a cheap rental apartment to supplement the FWC, but I see what you mean, a less expensive setup would make more sense.

I would just watch this forum and others to find a better price point vehicle and truck, bank the savings and travel for a few years. It sounds like you have the desire to be "on your own" for a bit. You'll meet great people, etc. too.

Not sure that living in an FWC full-time while working makes sense. Also, using truck with camper as a daily driver if there is any kind of commute/traffic isn't the most enjoyable nor is it fuel efficient (I did it for a few years). I would look at the truck camper combo as being my getaway/explore/vacation piece, have a small inexpensive home base and a used car that can be used for commuting and running around town. For me the $$ I save not commuting in the truck/camper just about makes the car payments on my commuter and the stress level is a lot lower driving a smaller car on the freeway in traffic every day.

Maybe I missed it but are you considering living in it full-time, or buying it as an escape when you can get away? Do you have time off of work enough to make good use of it?
