Your wife will have 'issues' changing her lifestyle.
Prior to fully jumping in have you considered going away for 3-4 months and letting her dip her toes in the pool before you commit to a lifestyle that she ends up not enjoying???
Even if she thinks it will be OK..........have Plan B (EXIT PLAN)
Full Timing is NOT for everyone.
The above is excellent advice.
We too had visions of FTing after retirement, but decided to try it for two long winters first, before selling our home.
Long story short, sold the 40' 5er and replaced it with a TC. We like CAMPING, not so much RVing.
Tried expensive RV resorts. Found the folks mostly stand offish and snobbish. We come from the country where everyone is at ease and friendly, and not in a rush.
Crime was horrible in central Florida, not so bad in parts of Arizona, Utah, and Wyoming.
Car crashes and aggressive driving was a daily event while roaming the rat races of Florida. Common courtesy is non existent.
Try FT RVing for a while before selling everything and make your own decision. Good for some, not so much for others.
Good luck.
