Beat me to it. Don't sell the house until you've had time to let things settle out.
As a single guy, you can get away with a fairly small trailer. Trade in your truck for a 1/2 ton and look at something in the 22-25ft range (check the towing and payload ratings). You should be able to get set up for under $20k with a good reliable rig.
Yes, it's very much doable to stay at various RV parks. Just depends how often you want to move. We are currently in a very nice park on the Texas Gulf Coast for $550/month. On the beach, lots of activities (covid limited this year). While on the move you will pay more but rarely do we pay more than $35/n and usually in the $15-25 range.
While some mobile home parks will allow RVs, they are usually the more run down type that are less desirable.
Move with the seasons staying in comfortable weather.
PS: Sorry for your difficult situation.
