I am not yet in a position to retire, but the campworking idea may appeal to me at some point. If you are in a financial position to retire, then I can understand not wanting to work once you retire. But if you could offset the cost of your "rent" by working here and there, then that might be a win-win
That is true, just make sure you have a plan for if/when you are not able to even work part time. Campsite and fuel costs can be two of the biggest expenses of RV travel. You also need to consider that leaving the workforce too early may affect Social Security benefits by adding zeros or small amounts into the calculation of average earnings. Withdrawing from IRAs too early can result in tax penalties. If you are not eligible for Medicare or have a company sponsored retiree health plan, you need to consider that as well.
