We are among those who have "been there, done that" but our full-timing was only 9 months. We loved it and ended up wanting a home base other than an address for mail. So, we designed, purchased and located a manufactured home, 1000 square feet, 2 br, 2 bath, covered deck and plopped it down in Santa Fe where we lived for about 20 years. it's turn key and we simply lock it and leave whenever the spirit moves us which it tends to do often. Cost was reasonable, under $60K. Like many fellow gurus, we enjoy the freedom, independence, traveling life-style for all the obvious reasons of going wherever we want, staying however long or briefly we want, meeting some wonderful people, etc. I can still work part time regardless where we are so that's a plus too.

Larry, we have seen Forest and Cindy's coach. It's a beauty and well cared for. There are, of course, others on the market too.
We wanted to get ours from Newell as it came with a two year warranty. Motorhomes of Texas usually have a few for sale and California Coach does too but theirs tend to be more high-end. We would trade ours for a 40' to facilitate getting into a lot more places as our 47' is simply too big to fit some of the places we like to go, Mexico for example. If you have questions, this is a great bunch of folks who have the answers.
