Coming back off the road
Let me start by saying that I am in my 40s and I am not a full timer. It is my hope that someday this will happen and we will spend our retirement in the wind. I had put a decent amount of thought...

When we started full timing we knew that at some point we would have to or would want to leave the road. We also knew we would not want to live in a rental or an apartment. We put the money from the sale of the house away to draw interest.
After 11 years of full timing the time came when it was time to leave the road. We had all of our stuff in storage in NH moved to the house we bought in CO.
The 4 bedroom house sits on 3/4 of an acre and has a detached 20 X 30 metal shop building and an attached two car heated garage.
There is some grass in front and on the side but most of it including the back yard is xeriscaped (desert landscaped) and requires very little maintenance. The house has vinyl siding - also very low maintenance.
I did have to get a lawnmower for the small amount of grass we have. His name is Salvador and he charges $10 per week to mow and trim during the summer months.
We have two RV sites in the side yard.
Why four bedrooms? One large bedroom for us, a guest bedroom for kids or friends when they visit, an office and a hobby room for my wife.
We have a robot vacuum cleaner and a robot mopper.
There is a great medical community here and the house has wide doors so if needed a wheel chair will fit through them. No stairs.
Just took the motor home to a local dealer this morning. For ten percent he will sell it and handle the loan process.
This is what worked for us.
