Will admit it was a great deal of adjustments, including going from a 10x10 storage unit to a 5x10 which is getting smaller and smaller. We are not sure if an apartment is for us or will buy a larger RV which is already sited in an RV Park and 'come off the road' .. we just can't see ourselves buying a house or staying in an apartment ..
As for this Fall/Winter/Spring we are volunteering up and down the Oregon Coast and seeing places we have promised ourselves we would see for awhile now.
May even consider choosing two places and staying summer/early Fall in South Eastern Washington State (where our daughters/grandchildren live) and Winters in South Western Oregon or North Central California in the winter to get out of cold days/nights, who knows.
