An observation...
Now that you've retired and have the High Country, don't just leave it at the daughter's house. Use it and take advantage of the new found free time.
I retired in 2006. I had recently divested myself of my last RV and thought "property" was what we would want. Ended up with 4 houses - lake house (summer/winter), mountain house (summer/winter holidays), main house (off and on year round - big garden) and a small inherited house in nowhere USA. Seemed fun for a while but the repetition and constant maintenance, even though I had grounds mtce. folks for the places, got to be a huge irritant. Decided we would get another RV to broaden our horizons and get us to new and different places - boy, are we SO glad we did. We've sold 2 properties, in the process of selling the 3rd and will be left with the main house which will never be sold. The versatility and flexibility you have with an RV is unmatched IMO and opens so many opportunities you otherwise would not have. And, being retired, you can go at the drop of a hat to see and do things you normally wouldn't.
So, don't let it just sit. Hook it up and stretch its legs (and yours). Find places that look interesting that you've never been and go explore. We have a rule of no less than 2 weeks wherever we go (destination, not traveling to/from). Works for us and gives us time to leasurely "take in the sights". Give it a whirl and enjoy that new found freedom. Good luck and have fun.
Edit: Whoops!! Welcome to the forum from a fellow Texan!
