We retired out of Temecula in So Cal. I was fed up with the traffic. Spent the better part of 4 years traveling in our 37'er, looking for a better place to live. 360 days of the year, So Cal's weather is unbeatable. I learned that the rest of the country has weather. So Cal doesn't. We adored coastal Alabama in the winter, but 3"s of rain every 4 days got old. And straight line winds? What are those? A last minute change of plans had us miss that awful tornado that devastated Moore, OK. I could go on . . . What we found was that anywhere we wanted to live had traffic as bad or worse than where we left. So we came back to Murrieta (right next door to Temecula), found a 55+ mobile home community where you own the lot. We bought an old unit, pulled it out & had a brand new unit put in with full hook-ups & parking for our rig. All for just slightly more than the depreciation would have been had we bought the brand new 43' Dutch Star we were considering. Our plan now is 3 months on the road. 3 months at home. This country has some beautiful places to visit, but after being spoiled by So Cal's weather my entire adult life, it is home.
