My late wife and I loved to travel and had planned to buy a large 5th wheel, then cancer changed our lives, and took my wife’s life in 2011. After spending 6 months trying decide whether or not to join her, I finally pulled out of my depression and decided to pursue our original travel plans, only on a smaller scale. The problem was our troubles had left me financially devastated as well. A year later I received a small monetary windfall which I used to purchase my present home, a 33’ class A MH. Since June I’ve been living in it and fixing it up (the MH is a monument to deferred maintenance, hence its affordable purchase price). Come November I’m heading to Arizona for a few months and then plan to take a 5,000 mile loop through the west. I plan to live in the MH until my health fails (I do work at keeping fit). I’m hoping for a 20 year run, however when I can’t go any farther I’ll pursue the exit plan I formulated after my dear wife passed away. After watching my mother slowly die of heart problems and clogged arteries and my loving wife slowly die of cancer, I’ve concluded that one’s death is too important an event to leave to chance.
