It's not for everybody. And it's not as 'easy' as some think it is either. Regardless of age or experience, it still takes an effort to RV. When interests change and the effort is more than one wants, it's time to move on to something different.
Many, many years ago (I was a young teen ager) I knew this couple (married, about 10 years older than me. They jumped from hobby to hobby and burned out each time. I could hardly keep up with their changing interests. They went from RC airplanes and helicopters, to photography, to exercise equipment, to becoming landlords (which didn't work out very well), to ancient satellite television, their first Tandy (Radio Shack) computer, which fizzled out after 2 weeks, motorcycles, nudist resort (sorry, I didn't go along with them to the resort), wine making, oh my goodness, the list goes on and on. I don't think they ever did find something that they settled into that brought them real satisfaction and contentment. The only thing that remained constant with (him), he was a very good "Jack of all trades". He was pretty skilled at home repairs to auto repairs. Eventually, (after his wife died and he remarried), he opened a self-employed business, a Mr. Fix-it, and contracted with a couple apartment complexes and has been pretty happy ever since. I think he finally found that "nitch". But I haven't seen him in years and years now.
So ya know, it's OK if the "passion" is just not there for RVing. It really is not for everyone. At least you recognize that now. But word of advise, you don't have to apologize to anyone for loosing interest. Times just change, people's interest change, and sometimes "things" change us.
Good luck!
