Rick...I enjoyed reading your post and all the replies.
You might like to read the blog of "Tioga George". Just google him and you'll find his blog. Lots of people on this forum are familiar with his blog. He's a retired man who spent many years traveling the west and Mexico in his Tioga Class C motorhome. More recently he had to give that up and he moved into an apartment. And just a couple months ago, he decided to give up apartment living and bought a new trailer to live in at an RV park. He had a company move the trailer to his campsite. He's done several of his own modifications to the trailer to suit his lifestyle. I think the September blog posts would be a good place to start reading.
Good luck with everything. I hope it all works out well for you.
