It is true that your S&B generally goes up in value and of course your RV is tumbling down. Down here in SW Florida, depending on your exact location and price point, your home could have been averaging an annual increase in value of 8% to 12% the last few years.

I guess the conclusion we came to was did we want to continue to pay the expenses of home ownership and only live in it 6 or 7 months a year. It takes a week to reopen the house when we return and gets things back to normal. Even though the house isn't that old it seems I am always doing some type of maintenance, plus still visiting the RV and taking care of it.

The DW had two knees replaced at different times a few years ago. One was done while we were in the S&B and one was done while we were full timing in the Montana. She said the recovery was much easier living in the Montana because everything was closer and easier to get to.

Everyone's situation is different. There are probably full timers out there traveling the U.S.A. on a budget of $25,000 a year and others needing $200,000 to get through a full year.
