Fewer and fewer new retirees are choosing the condo/ park model roots to tie them down to one place in the winter for the next 10-20 years.
While a condo may be best for your desires, my personal opinion is that selling it if your plans / desires change will be difficult.
An RV offers a lot of flexibility, and let’s you explore different areas. Unless you already have a favorite community picked out , I would strongly discourage a major real estate investment.
One other thing. Many of us have made purchases thinking the kids and or grandkids will come and enjoy traveling / visiting with us. Bad decision.
They will occasionally visit, but not enough to be worth investing in extra bedrooms in a condo or a bunkhouse RV. Get the best floor plan for you and the wife. If need be, the kids/gk can spent a night or two on a pallet/ quilt on the floor, in a tent or nearby motel.
I agree with you,there is a lot to see in the country and perhaps we may find other area's in the country to settle after all the touring. We are well aware of both sides of the coin between condo/Rving.The kids and grandkids? Yeah,they say they would use the condo...Hmmm. If they meet us at the rv, they better bring their tent!
