Traveling FT vs being anchored
I get that some people simply want the smaller living they get in an RV as opposed to a McMansion. A lot of them don't seem to travel but park and live in one spot (or two if they are snowbirds). For ...

I am a disabled veteran in my late 60’s; got diabetic neuropathy in both legs, feet and hands. I was totally blind for about 5-years, could not see anything, and went thru about a dozen eye surgeries before regaining my sight. I take various medications daily but being out here in nature full-time is better for me than any medication my doctor has prescribed. I started RVing after regaining my eyesight and retiring from the work-a-day world.
I got rid of my household goods and sold my house. Over the course of many decades I have owned 4-different houses, 2-in Colorado at different times, 1-in Washington State, and 1-in California. If it becomes necessary for me to leave my RV I do have enough money in savings to rent an apartment wherever I might be, regardless where I am located, and put my RV in storage. I am not attached to owning a house. When I can no longer operate an RV, and right now I’m out here alone full-time RVing as my wife passed 17-years ago; I will find an apartment to rent in a nearby town and take/handle things from there.
I have a feature in my full-timer RV insurance which lowers my premium when I put my RV in storage. I think it is important for full-time RV’ers to have an “Exit Plan” and that exit plan should include how your medical insurance and RV insurance can work for you if you can no longer RV. It is also best to keep a chunk of money in reserve for emergency purposes, and review whether your medical insurance will cover you regardless where you are at, or what state you are located in. I am glad I got rid of my house and the HOA that came with it. Not having a house means I have more discretionary money.
