6 years ? , you have time to think this all through.
I would not turn in my house keys until i was sure that this wing is going to fly or not. You need to see what your style of camping is.
Start camping and talking to owners of various types of campers.
Renting an rv multiple times or long term is too expensive an option.
As said, go to RV shows . Check the last link for different types of rv's/campers .
I would buy a small light pop up , something used, and spend a few yrs. getting into camping . Try to find a used motorcycle pop up camping trailer. I'll bet your Subaru could tow one if you add a transmission cooler to it .
It would get you into camping to try different types of campgrounds. Campgrounds with hookups and activities vs. wilderness type camping offering peace, quiet and solitude.
Down the road, once you decide what camper type you like, you then have to think about your 'home state residency' and mail options for tax purposes , auto registrations and voting rights. Unless you keep your house and rent it as income.
If you decide you prefer solitude, outdoor activities and have your health to do it then you need to check out truck camper life . There are some people and couples that use TC's to full time.
For 11 years, we have used one for a month at a time off grid, towing an enclosed utility trailer. We had enough room and really liked it.
When traveling without a trailer, we were able to fit the camper into a single parking spot to spend a night in a parking lot somewhere . We never got kicked out of anywhere .
Dave , he is my favorite all time camper , he is very funny too. I do not suggest to drive in the places he does. :E
