^^^^^This would be us. No way will DW full time in an RV and absolutely wouldn't sell her house. Heck, she wouldn't even let me sell it and build a new one in FL....or MO, or AR - so here we (I) are.

Over the last several years we have watched folks age and have issues. Some either had their homes and gave up RVing. Some had to sell their RV and then had enough to buy a tiny home. Some still live in the RV. Option 1 is the way to go IMO. Like most things I think one will know when "it's time" and the things required to be in an RV are too much trouble...or you can't do them.

To each his own on how to proceed into "aging" but when they took my knee out I found lots of things either impossible or difficult to the extreme. I built a new bathroom just for that eventuality; you can't do that in an RV.
