I started RVing many years ago. I'm on my 6th, and final, motorhome.
Early on, I found out that the maintenance/repairs on the motorhome, for me, was a breeze compared to the work that had to be done on the cabin (at the lake). I briefly owned a "cabin" at Elephant Butte NM, but most of the time I was there was taken working on the dern thing.
Yes, we still RV (fulltiming only lasted about 3-1/2 years). BUT, the motorhome sits in our backyard most of the time. Our bodies are worn out (feeling older by the year). Funny thing, our brains are younger than our bodies. Of course, we now have to watch our budget as well.
I'm sure some of you know how that goes.
