Your word "retirement" is one of the keys here. We are 18 month members of the Oldy Oldster Do As You Please Club and are enjoying RVing more than ever.
We were weekend warriors for many years and now can't believe we could ever do it. Friday afternoons busting out of town just to set up in the dark and collapse. Go go go Saturday to get everything in before we had to pack up and get out by noon or so Sunday. We loved it.
In retirement we leisurely roll out after church on Sunday and stay until Friday. If the site isn't booked for the weekend we stay longer if we want to. There are so many great state and federal campgrounds on the water they are never all full, and we use commercial CGs as needed for fill in. We've visited old friends and family that we haven't seen in years. We've been out 57 days this year and it would have been more if the new to us house closing had been earlier. We have 2 months booked for 2018 and will probably double that at least.
Enjoy the journey as well as the destination and you will be fine. Buy used for the first one so that you get the feel of exactly what you want before you plop down the big bucks for the perfect one. Have a great time with all of it.
THIS is what I am looking forward to!
Get out of the weekend camping mindset.
