Choices after coming off the road ...
Just wondering what others have done when the decision has been made to no longer travel in the "full-time" mode in our RVs .. know there are some who continue to live in their RV units, and some even...

Part of our story is planning and part was pure dumb luck market timing. Always have been a real estate investor and so when we went FT in '97 we bought a FL RV resort lot for spending some winter months recharging our FT batteries. Over our 14 yr run, we bought and sold several more lots ending with our last one in Silver Lakes Golf & RV Park in Naples, When we decided to come off the road, we put the lot, the MDT and the 5ver up for sale separately. That was early 2011 and the resort market was still hot here. All sold to separate buyers within 30 days.
And so we started looking. That same hot resort type market was a very cool regular residential market and we found a 10 yr 2BR/2BA old deep waterfront condo with slip, direct, no bridge Gulf and 10,000 Island Nat'l Preserve access, large boat marina/fuel etc in the project, here in the Naples area offered as a short sale. Offered dollar for dollar what we rec'd for our vacant RV lot and 2 months of hotel living later, moved in.
DW passed 6 months later and after a few years of struggle with my loss, finally bought a Class C {B+) fir my new summer travel schedule. Did 5 months of summer travel in both 2015 and 2016 (2016 travelog linked in my sig) and just starting to plan for 2017.
