I have both a home and the RV and I enjoy both. I have no issues with either way of living. A great thing about this country is that we have choices not available in many parts of the world.
One reason I like having the house is that I worry about really bad times coming. I know that you can move with the RV but you can only move so far if fuel is not available. I think it is good idea to have at least a month of emergency supplies available - more if you can do it. This takes a lot of space. I am also considering solar power at the house as a hedge against rising power costs. I hope all of this is never needed but I want to be prepared.
I am not in any way diminishing the appeal of living in an RV. I was very tempted to do so after we sold the house last year. But I decided to get a low maintenance house in an area where I feel comfortable leaving the house empty for extended trips. I did not purchase the house as an investment. I purchased it as a place to live.
