This is a very interesting thread to me. I want to travel around the country when I retire, but with an open mind towards settling down somewhere, if I like it a lot. I could still travel part-time, but enjoy a cheap, simple life away from the rat-race of the big city the rest of the year. What search terms would you use in this website's search feature to find more threads on this subject? I'd like to get an idea of the approximate costs involved, although I realize it will vary a lot from campground to campground and area of the country. The rental idea is very interesting, too. Maybe I can become an RV campground landlord tycoon in my retirement.
