We met an unhappy couple who sold their home and "hit the open road". Man and wife were happy for some time, worked at state RV camps. Had a semi-permanent screened patio, she had a sewing machine, etc. Wife started to miss home living, friends, kids, BUT they could not afford to buy a house. "Wither thou goest" does not always work. Males may be fine with full timing, females may change their mind about it. Best to try some extended tours and staying put for some time, before selling your home.
We met some folks who had done the same in a nice class A after selling home. A few months in, the wife became disenchanted and wanted a house again. So they bought one and divorced (after 20+ years) within a year. Had to sell that house and the RV. Big expensive mess.
Knew another couple who bought a very pricey cruising sailboat, moved aboard and quit jobs. Guy was in heaven sailing around the Caribbean living his dream, not so much the wife. They sold the wonderful boat, which broke his heart, and moved back ashore, back to jobs. Sadly the wife died a year later.
So I agree with your advice.
