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...

We've been full time for over ten years...our "exit plan" is a little different than most.
We purchased (paid cash) an RV lot with a fully functional coach house in a 55+, RV based community. It is lock and leave, no maintenance required...we use it currently as our winter destination and can rent it out when not using it, so it pays for itself (taxes and maintenance dues). This gives us a home base while we continue to full time without the headaches of a traditional home...in addition, it has risen considerably in value since we bought it...as evidenced by sales of other lots around us...so it's been a sound investment.
When we are done traveling, for whatever reason, we will park our RV there and live out the rest of our lives for less than $400 a month...can't find a decent apartment for that!
