If possible you may want to move south earlier, and if you must return in January do so with just the truck, or fly in for a while.
On the money side, I sure hope you are overthinking/worrying this. I am in a similar position, we have two prospects currently working at arranging financing on our house. We will hit the road with an all new rig smaller than yours, but only about $2600 a month in retirement income, but with a larger nestegg. Were hoping to travel extensively the first couple years, then settle into a more modest set of moves.
My retirement will keep me here till pretty much January.....just curious did you go with a fifth wheel or other. Are you doing anything about having cable internet, etc.
Still waffeling. M'lady prefers the 5th wheels, she likes the Montana's in a 35 foot range.
Because of her leg problems, I would rather go Class A so she can reduce the up and down steps some. So, we will no doubt end up in a new truck and 5er. :)
Internet we have switched to straight talk for a phone line. $55 a month with unl talk and text and 60 gigs of data. We have satellite internet at home, but that has been running us $70 a month for 12 gigs at high speed and throtteled after that. So were trying the straight talk now.
Did have 2 lines total wireless which was $60 a month with only 15 gigs of data and that seemed to work well so am assuming this will as well.
Oh for tv we download a lot of netflix or Amazon prime videos when we stop at a restaurant or library for watching later.
