Just an alternative "full time RV life". This could be a temporary or permanent plan depending on your medical needs relative to how much care you need. Just as a start I would be pick a winter and summer area ,RV Resort or park you really like. The idea is to just switch back and forth depending on the weather conditions. i.e. Winter in Ariz. or Indio Ca., and then Oregon the coast in the summer or some other state, area that is relatively cool in the summer. Cooler than Texas:):) This plan also allows you to take advantage of special (cheaper) prices for RVers that stay 3 to 4 months at a time. In Ariz., if I register for for Oct. Nov. & Dec. the resort will give me one extra months stay free. This will vary from Resort to Resort and location to location.This gives you the best of both worlds year round. This also gives you an opportunity to discover new RV areas, RV resorts you might like and eventually you will find a permanent RV home.

With regard to medical needs and services you and the wife might need, places like Surprise, El Mirage, Phoenix in Ariz. has medical doctors and hospitals is abundance. Same for example in the Palm Springs, Indio and Hemet areas. When I first started "snow Birding" in Ariz, the first thing I did was contact a hospital and asked for the contact information for the type of Dr. I needed. I then make an appoint and established the Dr. as my primary care Dr. and then had all my current medical records sent to the new primary Doctors office. I also checked with the hospitals and Doctors regarding what insurances they would accept. My primary Doctor in my home town can also write a lab work up document for me to take to a lab in Ariz. and then have the results faxed back to my home town Dr.
