Great thread with even better feedback!:)
At one time I thought I wouldn't like being a fulltimer, but my wife and I are starting to rethink things a bit. After spending a few nights at a Palm Springs RV resort we couldn't help but relish in the friendliness of the residence (mostly snowbirds) as well as enjoying an endless list of activities. It was like being on a cruise ship on land (without $10 beers or getting sea sick).
Anyway, we've been discussing selling our California home upon retirement, establishing residency in Oregon with our current 5th wheel, and then purchasing a rig to enjoy the country during our 60's. After a year in Oregon (for obvious reasons) we'll establish residency in a retirement friendly state like South Dakota or Texas.
This should give us an opportunity to "test drive" several states and communities before we settle down in our more "slow go" years.
Thanks for the insight everyone!
