Well ... what you are thinking about is nothing new by a long shot. Folks have been living as gypsies and nomads for milleniums all over the world.

So far the DW and myself are trying to retain the best of both worlds - keep our home which is situated "in nature" with quietness, trees, views, gardens, deer, etc. - but also enjoy outings in the RV for as long as 10 weeks, so far. Both worlds have their advantages and disadvantages up to a certain point.

HOWEVER, in no way would we want to be a gypsy or nomad when we're "old" ... that would be a bad situation in our opinion. So if you're thinking about going FT in an RV, in my opinion you better have an (expected) old-age or (unexpected) physical-limitation exit plan that is well thought out with regard to both medical logistics and financial realities.

P.S. We also have friends, loved ones, and service groups that simply "keeping in touch via a smartphone" for long periods would just plain not be appropriate or work.

Im with you on this on. Everyone should have an exit plan. I don't think it has to be all or nothing. I too live on 10 acres of beautiful wilderness. Travelling most of the year is my dream too, but I need somewhere to call home, and Im not willing to give up my 4 wheeler, snowmobiles, boat etc. They have to go somewhere. For me it is not all or nothing. What if you don't like it. Test the waters for a while. I have been dipping my toes for several years now. When I come home after being gone for months, I kind of feel like I just want to keep going. After being home for a month or two, Im ready to go again. Who knows, maybe next time I might feel different, and don't feel like going again. Options are a good thing. Only your heart knows for sure.
