FWIW, when we began in '96, our goal was to find "the" place we wanted to pull up at when we "finished". It, of course, is '13 and we have not found THE place. We have been from the far NW to FL to NE to CA plus Canada. During this journey, we have decided that our current rig, 38' HH and FL60, parked in a mild climate in a nice park that has reasonable rates, is fairly close to shopping, medical and equal distance from kids, will work for us.
However, our legal address is about 100+ miles away (Livingston, TX) but since everything we do banking, bills, ins., etc is by 'puter, its no big deal. Good luck on your research.
