We are in the same situation. The difference is that we have camped and traveled all of our adult lives. We would love to go full time or at least nearly full time but we can't due to my mother age 90. My mother in law passed away a few years ago and my wife took care of her until the end visiting every day at the nursing home. The one thing she always says is "I know that I did all I could to make my mothers last days bareable" I want to be able to say the same thing. My sister lives 1000 miles away so cannot take as much part in My mothers care as we can, living in the same city as her. What we are able to do is leave for 3 weeks this winter to go south. My sister will stay with my mother during that time frame. My mother lost my father at age 40 yet managed to raise 2 productive kids on her own, the least I can do is adjust a little to make her finial days bareable. We do go regulary on short trips throughout the year and check in by phone and it works for my mother and us, not a perfect world but an acceptable one.
