I can see how people would be down on the RV experience doing 2 weeks a summer and holiday weekends at popular parks. But that's a very small part of the experience and what's left is marvelous.
Our first retirement trip was 6 months and 16 states across the southeast. We had a ball. The best part was being able to move mid-week and not have to fight the crowds. Nearly every place we stopped was empty when we pulled in and filled up on Friday night.
We did realize, as did DEBishop, that we needed to stay and see the places we were staying at. The trouble was we weren't towing and needed to rent cars to get around. Next trip we'll be towing the Equinox so we should have time to go exploring.
Bottom line; if or when it stops being fun, stop. Find something else to do - like flying.
