Anyone use a 5th wheel as a 'snowbird home'?

Has anyone used a 5th wheel (or a TT) and set it up on a lot, using it as a snowbird place in the winter to escape the cold north for a few months? If you have, what has your experience been? Was it worth it or did you regret it? Pros and cons?

We own property in a southern state and the plan was to relocate south and build a home for retirement. An option that I've been mulling lately is to maybe just keep our home in the northeast, and buy a clean, large (with multiple slideouts) used 5th wheeler and set it up on our lot and use it for a few months each year, mostly in the winter.

Just curious as to whether this is a viable idea and how others who've tried it liked it.

How many people will be living in the RV, what are there ages, how long is the 5th wheel ,how many slides will it have, how big are black,grey and fresh water tanks. Does your lot have electircity, or a sewer dump and fresh water. what kind of weather will your RV subjected to?
