We PT for 6 months a year. I think my DW puts it the best way "RV'ing is very low impact." For having a low impact lifestyle you do not have the chores that some are referring too. I enjoy our time on the road, because it means less chores for me, and more time to lounge around, relax and spend fun time with the DW.
On the other hand you also do not have the rewards from a "high impact" lifestyle that those chores and $$$'s bring you. When you have a "high impact" lifestyle you have real square feet to live in, a garage to house things, land to work and make yours, pride of ownership when you do those chores, hobbies that require space, a place to entertain more then six people, a kitchen bigger then in Barbie's play house, heat and AC that is even and not spotty, hot water for a good long shower, a bath tube to soak in, neighbors which are more then 15 feet away on each side of you, a full size gas grill and a proper deck to use it on, etc.... All that might explain why FT'ing seems to be more of a chapter in peoples lives, and not a lifetime commitment (if they can afford to move on.)
