If you are planning to snowbird in seven to nine years, any planning you do now will need changing by the time you actually implement your plan.
But think about a few things. You live in San Antonio...Where will you be snowbirding to. RGV? San Diego? I never thought San Antonio got that cold for that long. Maybe you'll need to "SUNBIRD"? You know...run to the deep North to escape the high summer heat? Another thing...Are you going it alone? Have a partner? You want a trailer or a MH? In 9 years you might want another newer vehicle.
Now forget snowbirding for a while. And get into RV'ing. You know...summer trips here and there. Maybe get a 5th wheel now or a TH. Go out one weekends, holidays, week or two vacations. See if you like the RV lifestyle, before you actually make the commitment to 'part-timing'...like snowbirding is. Then in seven to nine years, you'll have a better idea what you can do...and what to expect.
