we plan to become elderly gypsies, living out of our RV most of the year, driving the highways, driving the backroads, seeing what there is to see, hoping to visit new states, seeing new sights, meeting new folks...

You and your husband might consider becoming pilot/escort drivers (aka: flag cars) after your retirement. Escorts drive those cars/pickups with lights, flags, and signs that accompany over-size loads. You'll see them moving factory manufactured homes, large boats, roof trusses, etc. An escort's function is to warn the motoring public of the presence of an overdimensional load to insure the safe delivery of the load. Lots of retirees here in Florida are escorts...they work when they want, see the country, meet new people, and get paid to do it!

Thanks a lot for that information...I have seen those escort cars, and just assumed that they worked for the company moving the oversized load....so this is a very useful piece of information...I will be sure to mention it to my husband...it certainly opens up our options...thanks....
