You have heart issues (pots) your wife has heart issues.
Why would you want to travel far from your doctors.
What will happen if you take ill in Wyoming (or other place) and cannot drive the rig? Is your wife capable.
Picking on WY medical?:B . Actually a good point. We live in NW WY. Although Cody has a fancy hospital if we need a good DR for heart problems or other serious med problems we have to drive a 100 miles to Billings, MT. We have been in a few states in rural areas where fellow FT campers were having devastating med problems. Sad and gets my attention. Cases where husband doing 100% of driving stuck in an area with less than good medical and in serious condition and wife unable to drive RV and unable to pay to have it moved.
These problems aren't totally rare with older seniors. However, We FT'd for about 4 years 2000 - 2004. Maybe others can chime in but I didn't find FTing a cheap way to live. JMHO. We didn't quit FTing because of med problems or the expense. We got bored and were cramped into a small box. Being married 45 years we love rural and we love RVing. A few months a year in our MH is about all we can take.
