Question: My wife and I would like to resign a year from now (4/2018), travel in our RV for a year or two then settle into enjoyable hobbyjobs. Is this a reality or financially irresponsible.

We have a $50,000 line of credit on our home with zero balance. I'm about 25% through building a small cabin on the timberland, which has been a lifelong ambition. It will likely become a home base for us post FE. Our primary residence has a market rental value of about $1000 per mo, after expenses it would net around $600 additional monthly income. I think our gross hobbyjob income would be around $50,000 post travel.
So what do you think, can we do this in a year, should we work longer? How much longer?
