Sorry. But there is a difference in driving away and turning the corner knowing you will never be back. I believe they call it a "Parachute" or "safety net," or just an extended vacation when you lock the home/apartment and drive away with intentions of returning. If you have done it, you would know, just as when someone lives together and one gets married. It is a commitment. Just like many call it Boondocking when they are dry camping in a Forest Service and or BLM Campground. There is a difference.
While I agree doing some test trips to verify this is the right decision and I have suggested this many times. In fact I have suggested one to try different seasons too, as it takes different skills, planning and preparation for different seasons and weather conditions.
Again, this is why I suggested to the OP to weigh the comments for what best fits his goals and that includes input from both long trippers and full timers.
