What would you do?
After 4 yrs of fulltiming, I bought/built 3 homes in 3 of my favorite areas of the west to use as part time stop overs during my RV travels. So if I was you I'd find a nice home in your favorite part of Colorado to use as a summer home base, use this Tx home in spring/fall, and use your RV to go south in winter.
Maintenance on most homes is minimal and gives you something to do when you stay there during spring/fall. Its usually the landscaping that takes more time, but you can change the landscaping, if needed, to be low maintenance type.
To minimize security concerns get to know a few nearby neighbors and install a security sys with cameras; and have a good full coverage insurance policy. Be sure to tell the agent its a seasonal home, then there is no issue leaving it vacant half the year.
But its your choice, do whatever makes you happy and meets your priorities & preferences. Don't worry about what others think you should do.
