I think you should first establish the area where you want to be. If your idea of snowbirding includes relaxing outside under an umbrella (or not), with a book in one hand and a cold one in the other, then SW Florida should be on your list of possible destinations. Also nice to find is a place that allows for a smooth transition from the RV lifestyle into the 55+ community lifestyle when the time comes. The majority of our neighbors are former RVers like us!
This has been a wonderful season -- only two rainstorms that eliminated outside activities, a short cold spell (degrees under 60 for the most part), and best of all -- we have breezes, not WIND like the RGV.
