Starting Over - Heart Attack
I just had a heart attack a couple days ago and part of my heart got damaged. We had left RVing to go sailing, but being many hours or days away from help seems a little less appealing now. So, we...

Thanks for the responses. I was afraid I’d get the response to just forget RVing in Europe. It’s been a dream of mine to go back by boat or RV for decades. I’d like to live there for a couple years with a movable home, like I do here in the USA.
So that’s best done by Airbnb?
Regarding the advice to follow doctor’s orders, I’m definitely doing exactly what they say. No deviation. I’d like to get as back to normal as possible.
Oddly, I already eat the Mediterranean diet, plant based protein, no dairy, etc etc. I had only a little plaque on my artery walls. It was a stress induced heart attack. Plaque broke off from stress caused by breathing in a chemical. Then my body sent in the clots to try to fix it, giving me the widow maker heart attack.
So I have a lot less lifestyle changes to make than most. I weigh 155lbs.
I just have to do some cardio rehab, not expose myself to dangerous chemicals and stresses and I should be ok, assuming the lagging part of my heart comes back to life a bit.
I don’t think we could live in a class B full time. We enjoy cooking (Mediterranean diet) and need a decent kitchen with storage too. Just our spice collection would fill a class B kitchen up. Ha ha.
I’m coming from a 50ft sailboat that is good for off grid indefinitely and a truck camper with slides set up the same. I have lots of solar and have been living off grid for decades. Just pointing that out so nobody has to walk me through systems. Keeping the truck camper might be an option but we just need a tiny bit more space and a nicer interior. My arctic fox tc is holding up well, but it’s dated.
Basically I’m trying to figure out what sort of vehicle combination would work best.
I was looking at those Host Mammoth type TCs with multiple slides and maybe keeping the Dodge Ran diesel.
But I was thinking there might be smarter ideas.
