We half timed, used the Motorhome all winter. Giving it up for a couple of reasons. First, even our 44 footer grows very, very small after a few months. Even though we owned a site in an absolutely fantastic resort, we eventually missed having a home and the room to spread out. The other thing was everyone else also had wheels and friends turned over a bit quicker than we would have liked. The sense of community was not as solid as with a traditional neighborhood. We made lots of friends, but they were kind of short term friends, not a bad thing, just different. We also felt like if we took a traditional vacation with planes and rental cars, it was somehow being dishonest to the RV. Winter locked us in to a relatively small geographic location (southern California and Arizona, South Texas and South Florida), without the ability to go from one to the other easily. Airline travel, on the other hand opens up the whole world. It might be a lot different if we could travel spring, summer and fall, but we can't.
This was EXACTLY us also.
It would be extremely easy for us to go FT, and we might within the next year or so. But, DW and I know it would not be long term for all of the above reasons. For us FT'ing would be just a cheap and effective way to travel, not a cultural lifestyle statement to the rest of society.
