This is why millions of folks chuck it all and go full-time in their RV. You move with the weather. :) No packing and unpacking. You're always 'home'.
This was the year we could have went FT, everything was in place for it, place was sold, cash in hand, "stuff" in storage, rig and TV all ready to go, but DW said no at the very bitter end.
I don't blame her either. An RV is not a home that will last a lifetime, it is a temporary structure that you can make feel like a home. Sure, you can go anywhere, but after awhile on the road you find out you're really nowhere when there is an issue be it health, mechanical, financial, or just wanting to go out with old friends or family.
Is it fun, you bet as long as the money will support "your" level of enjoyment. Many FT'ers live on a shoestring that I meet. Nothing wrong with it, just some want (or require) more out of life for it to be rich and full.
BTW, I really don't think there are "millions" of traveling FT'ers. I do know parks with park models that people that use to travel now live in FT. So I guess they must make up those "millions." I don't understand how that is not just simply living in a trailer on a 35 foot wide lot though, stuck with other neighbors for one's remaining years (choose wisely.)
To each their own, let just not spin things to gain acceptance, or romanticize it, because others may make life choices on what they read and think is fact.
