Sorry to hear your medical issue has ended your RV lifestyle. Financial considerations ended ours.
We sold our '02 Georgetown 325 (a purchase from the original owners in 2010) on consignment with a local dealership. We initially got screwed by the reported "only" offer, two months after the consignment, of half of what the dealership's "value consultant" thought it was worth. The owner of the dealership got a "conscience" when I started bad-mouthing them by name on this forum and others.
It turned out that the owner of the dealership had bought the RV, had some minor problems solved by his techs and then sold it for 80% more than the reported "only bid".
He finally fessed up when I started giving the outfit a hard time by name on this forum and a couple of others, and we renegotiated the deal to a value close to what I'd figured the rig was worth.
We're now out of the life-style due to cost. IMO if your hobby starts taking money out of your IRA, maybe a re-assessment is appropriate. That was our conclusion. We miss the lifestyle, too, but living in Anacortes has a lot of positives.
