Hello all,
Thank your for your suggestions and advice. You have given me some stuff to check out.

Yes, for this coming winter. Thanks for the suggestion but their monthly rate is a bit high for what we are looking for. Hoping to find something for under $500 plus electric. Just starting to look and see what the prices are.

We don’t mind it being a little cool. That is what long sleeve shirts and sweaters are for but we are looking to avoid rain, snow and sub 45 degrees temperatures. We would like to Boondock but I am not quite setup for that yet.
Quartzsite would be something to experience for maybe a week but not much longer. Also, I doubt that the internet would be very good with all the people there which is a must have for me.

I would like that but we are going to have to add the solar panels in stages. I have watched a lot of YouTube videos and want to upgrade my battery bank and add panels. I do have a generator but only want to run it if I have to charge up the batteries and do some heave AC appliances. I basically would need to be able to run the lights, laptop, couple of monitors and other misc all day. With a good battery bank and inverter, I think that is doable and only run the generator for maybe an hour or two.
Since I will be working full time, having strong reliable internet is a must. My work has not done a lot with people working remote, so I need to make this a good experience for them (and me).
For TV we just stream Netflix, Amazon or YouTube, another reason for the good cell signal. We have a WeBoost 4GX-RV but I have not yet permanently mounted it. I do not want to cut any holes in the roof. Still trying to figure out how to run the wires and have it so that the inside antenna is on my desk.
We want to Boondock as well but until I can do the upgrades that I mentioned earlier, I was planning on staying in RV Parks. It might turn out that we will have to try and do the upgrades sooner then I planned.

We can handle the colder weather. I have lived in the Grants Pass, Oregon area all of my life and it regularly gets down into the 30’s and 20’s over the winter. We do not get a lot of snow, but we have had a couple of years where at my old place, we had quite a bit for week or two. 60’s to 70’s sounds good to me but I bet my wife would like the 80’s better.

I have not explored the Washington coast at all, but would like to, and I do know that the Oregon coast is great, being a Webfoot and all (slang for a native Oregonian). Some rain would be fine but I would like to avoid a ton of rain as it would just add to the potential of moisture problems (we do have a dehumidifier) in the RV and water leaks.
