Just be sure you have accurate estimates of all real costs involved. AC in AZ in summer can be expensive. Project costs for a year in advance and then evaluate the actual vs the projected to see how close you are.
With my house,I am paying a fixed $375 every month. I suspect it would be less for an RV
a little further north.The trailer also has the foil insulation

You REALLY need to research this thru thoroughly BEFORE you sell your house if you think you can live in an RV for less than $375.
Trailer parks and CG's charge 'extra' for electricity and as everyone has posted the heat where you are planning to stay will be VERY uncomfortable in an RV. AND the electric bill costly. Foil insulation will not do squat. Any trailer and/or a MH is nothing more than a box sitting in the blazing heat. There is a reason snowbirds and full timers do not stay there in the summer!
Good luck on your endeavor. But do some serious research on the CG's in the area you think you would being staying at before you leap.:C
