Sorry to see you're hanging up the keys, Effy, but we all have to do what works best for our own situations. My wife and I faced a similar decision some years back after unloading the motorhome once again after a short trip. We decided to go the other way though, and now keep nearly everything in the motorhome year round, and continue to live in it most of the time, even when we're at our lakeside cottage in upstate NY. We're both in our mid-70's and have no idea now when we'll hang u the keys. We have found we enjoy staying longer at many parks though, and cutting down on the travel time in between them. Interferes with our afternoon naps... ;)
