Maybe try parking in a permanent or seasonal spot close to home. Your wife can enjoy the camping experience with or without you, no one has to drive the rig, and packing is minimal.
A bunch of us (from the same little town) do this for a variety of reasons. One friend won't drive a rig for health reasons, and his wife wants to be within a short drive to the grandchildren.
Another couple have farm duties and make the 1/2 hour trip back home each day. This is their only vacation option.
Two more couples have a boatload of little kids in many activities and love the easy getaway.
We are tied to our jobs and just don't have the burning desire to travel for now.
You can take it down a notch and just reinvent what you loved to do.
