There was a similar thread here about 2 years ago re the same topic, and I seem to recall I got lots of specific info from it. Might do a Searchin the archives. Also suggest the Escapee's Forum for similar info.
In general, we have found full timing to be cheaper than maintaining a home (with a mortgage). If you don't owe anything on the stone house, maybe it would be a wash, but then you don't have the benefit of the travel. I will tell you that selling a home now on this ever-climbing housing market will cost you $$ in the long run. Your TV and Monty certainly won't appreciate in value, and whatever "piggy bank" you put the $$ into almost certainly won't appreciate as fast as the house under present conditions. Would I do it again, knowing what I do now? Almost certainly, because I still don't believe the housing market can support these prices, and we wanted to get out of the S. Calif area.
Hope that view is of some value....more specifics copming via e-mail..
Best,
