One of the mantras of RVing is, "if you don't like the weather or the neighbors, just move".
I suspect that has a lot to do with it. I think 60-80 is still pretty young in terms of traveling and seeing and experiencing things you've only dreamed or read about, or seen on the TV. I think that may be why fewer people are picking up roots up north, only to put them down farther south. They want to maintain their mobility for as long as possible, after decades of always returning to the same address every day after work or whatever. Modern day nomads?
I know it's our preferred travel mode. We spent the last 10 years as "tourists", literally touring North America, but as we get older, we realize we'd now like to slow down a bit, and stay a while at some of the places we used to use as our favorite stopovers along the trails.
Doesn't mean we'll park it permanently, just for longer than a day or two, depending on the weather and the neighbors. :B
