Home Base for Winter or Summer

I have been having a discussion with a co-worker regarding retirement and RVing (Camping). My thoughts are to have a home base(sticks and Bricks) located in the north for use in the summer months and traveling south to warmer climates for some of the colder months. My co-worker believes the opposite, live in the warmer south and travel northerly during the warmer months.

Curious as to what other forum members think regarding the pros and cons of each scenario. The home base necessity has already been determined.

sunbirds vs snowbirds...my wife and I have had this same conversation. we're still yaking about it but I see it this way. if something should happen that would require us to stay off the road either permanently or temporarily where would we want to call home? sure, you can always move but I'm looking at it as a sudden onset of illness. we're both sick and tired of snow and hope to never see it again.
