Ours was a very short stint, after 3 months my DW told me enough is enough she wanted a home and only travel 1 month out of 4 and never in the winter--1 week excursions are OK. The full timing thing was just not for her. Me? I was having the time of my life, staying in new places, seeing grandchildren, no yard work, house maintenance/repair, etc. So we how have a grandparents mobile home on our oldest daughters property and I am saddled with all the things I dislike doing and DW is happy as a clam. But happy wife happy life so there ya go. If something would happen to her, Lord willing I would be back on the road again in a heartbeat.
Not sure if that answers your question, but that is our experience.
Why dont you just go fulltiming by yourself? Leave your wife to do all the things you do around the house that you hate doing and she may come to see fulltiming a bit differently. Besides there is no law that says you must do the same things just because you are married.
Why should you be miserable just to please a wife? Go have fun by yourself. My bet is she will follow.
