We've RV'ed for over 40 years and thought about full timing but have not. I don't know about apprehensive but some thoughts: If you own a home (gaining in value) any RV will depreciate a lot and quickly.So if you buy one now to FT it will suffer wear and tear and be worth little if you need to replace it in 15 years while a home will increase a lot during that time. Also, full-timing may not be economical in other ways unless you workamp or favor dry camping. Site rental could equal $1000/month apartment rental. Of course some of this applies to RVing if you don't full-time.
Have you figured property taxes into your equation. 10 years of property tax at 5K a year is $50K.Thats 50K towards off setting that depreciation
