I wouldn't mind having a home base, but it wouldn't be a house.
I'm a fairly "handy" guy, grandpa taught me how to fix cars before I was old enough to drive, always done my own home repairs, etc... Since we went full-time 2 years ago I find I'm spending WAY too much money having other people do repairs and maintenance that I'd be perfectly fine doing myself. Plus, I prefer doing it myself because then I know it's been done right. Since going full-time, there are certain things that I simply don't have a suitable spot to do.
My perfect home base would be 2 or 3 acres of wooded land, about 10 miles out from a decent sized city (so parts and supplies are handy), with a shed large enough to pull the motorhome or a couple of cars into. Add on a concrete pad with full RV hookups, and I'd call it perfect.
