As noted, the advice given to your question can get overwhelming. I certainly agree with the suggestion to rent an RV to get an idea of what might best serve your needs.

Where in VA are you? We are in Bedford County on Smith Mountain Lake. If we were possibly close, I would be happy to meet you and give you some tips, hints, or otherwise share the mistakes I've made lessons learned.
We are twenty minutes from Roanoke on the Blue Ridge Parkway. We spent about two years in an airstream when we came here in 1993. We built two houses on this property and we love it here, but we now want to move on with the ability to select the kind of weather and environment we want to stay in. I would either have to sell the home, or trade the equity for a motorhome of equal value, and either might take a while. In the mean time, I know there is much to learn about full timing and I thought the forum would be a good place to start. Thanks.
