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...

Fortunately we are very very close to our youngest daughter and future son-in-law, who intend to purchase our acreage off us, renting for a couple to four years initially when we hit the road, to ensure they can handle the commitment and costs. We are putting enough funds aside to build a Mother-in-law type suite on the property for the future (their home address, which is our current one will be our home base address hopefully indefinitely for ease).
That's the plan in the big scheme of things for coming off the road, however, we are realists and realize that even on occasion the most solid relationships can rock. Heaven forbid if that were to occur, and assuming we could absolutely no longer travel/drive the RV we'd consider the following options as a last resort:
a) Move to a more moderate climate in Canada ie; British Columbia on an RV lot
b) Remain in our Freezer Box but purchase a small condo (yuck, but ........)
We know we are not renter mindsets, and couldn't handle the worry of what if at the end of the next year the landlord wants us out to sell or otherwise, and it occurred when we were not as able bodied to handle such upheavals. You know yourself better than anyone and we know we couldn't handle being a tenant.
Bottom line is to have some sort of a plan and ideally a back up idea to cover "what ifs" but we believe wholeheartedly first and foremost live for TODAY, as it's a gift which is why it's called the present. We do however try to plan for tomorrow as best we can but there are no guarantees for every eventuality.
