Since my wife died, no longer have road trip partner, my RV is used mostly as the cabin on the lake. Luckily, I have suitable lakes 15 and 30 miles from home. Nearest lake where I could actually have a cabin is more like 100 miles, so I'd probably just move there. And I'd need to buy a boat more expensive to use, and keep up, than the already paid for RV.
So change of lifestyle for now just means a change in how I use the RV. For the way I'm using it, something different, small TT or van camper might work better. But what I have, works.
We used to cruise, 20-40 days a year, cannot yet make myself do that alone, though I still have destinations. Substitute for that has been group touring, local travel club has a few hundred members, four to forty might go on any particular tour.
Life changes, we adjust.
