My suggestion would be to use the money you have saved, to buy your RV now, rather than later.
Then take a long vacation (how much time can you and DW take at any one time?), and get away for the whole time. Try and "live" the way you would want to when you do retire...don't go crazy with spending, but also don't be so frugal, that you don't enjoy yourselves.
You will then have a fairly accurate account of what your monthly expenses will be, and you can figure out if you can make it with the money you have saved, or if you will need to supplement with additional income.

A rig for full time would be much heavier, so that would dictate the truck would need to be able to pull it.
Right now we have TT that we pull with a trailblazer, so we need to purchase both 5th and truck. (We have camped since we were kids)
