Since you are a Jeeper, I think you'd probably love RVing, you probably don't mind doing a little work on things, and you enjoy the outdoors.
One thing you mentioned that I might caution you on is spur of the moment travel. It may be different out west, but here in the south east finding a campsite can be tough. We leave for the beach tomorrow,we are having to stay Sunday-Friday, we could not get the weekends included, they were booked. Back in March every Friday and Saturday night for the entire summer was booked at every state park on the northern gulf coast. In May I looked to book a site in the North Georgia mountains for a weekend in Oct that my kids are out of School on Fri and Mon, and only one of the 6 or so state parks had availability.
Granted my times to go due to us working, and having kids in school, tend to be in the busy season, and weekends.
I've never camped out west (bucket list), but from reading here, it seems there is lots of dry camping areas where you can just find a spot in the woods to camp. Seems that would be great with the Jeep, but maybe difficult if you don't know the area.
