I don't agree with being one wreck away from being homeless. Sadly, your home can burn down etc. Both homes are insured and can be replaced.

You may not be one wreck away from homeless, but you are one major mechanical malfunction away, or 10 years of depreciation away from being extremely house poor. Your stick home generally appreciates long-term, at least keeping your net worth somewhere close to staying even with inflation (assuming your home is your largest asset) Making your RV rig your largest asset is a sure way to see your net worth start circling the drain.
Well one thing for sure you can't take it with you, and when I'm all stove up at the end of my days, I bet I'll have a lot of great memories to reflect on.
The lifestyle may not be for everyone, but for most of us we only have one shot at doing this and really enjoying it.
There are other ways to invest and make money also.
