Why are you waiting to mid Jan to head south? We usually leave Christmas day. Why just two months... it's still cold in MI in March. I agree going someplace different for the winter may help. As long as the kids do not take the keys I plan on going and then they can drive me there. We are happy being half timers and are disappointed when something decreases that and we've been RV for 40+ years.
I hope to go to the Tetons and Yellowstone another six times. Granted my roll model is a couple I meet 12 years ago at a Beaver MH Rally in OR. They had made it from South Carolina in four days. That's over 600 miles/day and pretty impressive, but there is more to this story. He was 85 and she was 86 and they had just bought a new Beaver 40' DP. She was limping having broken a leg snow skiing the previous winter. Only 15 more years until I can match that minus the new MH.
I've always said ATTITUDE is everything so my question is: What are you going to do with your time if you stop RVing? Whatever that is, why can it not be done while RVing? At 71 I'm not ready to throw in the towel on much of anything.
