Yes, this is a long one like last year. Both of which have purpose, last year was more fun, this one has other reasons for me being out west. It takes time to transition from S&B to MH but after a period of time it gets very comfortable and enjoyable. I think it can be a little more draining, this time around for sure due to my commitments but I've learned from some of the fulltimers the longer stays are necessary to avoid burnout. Moving CG's often and traveling wears you down.
After this trip it will go back to my typical "long" trips which are 2-3 months max unless I'm making a trip out west again for either Glacier, Canada, or Alaska. Those are at least two years out from now at the earliest. I really enjoy east coast RVing I've come to learn. Great blend of mountains and beaches. I'm sure the north west will offer great scenery too, I'm done with the south and west for a while.
