> going with a RV route is looking more like the best possible option for the future, cause you can just pick up and leave when bad weather comes.

That's fine when young and healthy, but when you're older, have several recurring doctor appointments and some mild impairments, a home is a lot better.

Not saying it can't be done, after all there are nomad populations with elderly people who live on the road. But they usually have a support system that travels along, too.

Indeed a recent family experience revealed that if you're in a town where you don't have a primary care doctor and you get sick, you're SOL. We ended up having to fly my relative back to his home town so he could be treated.
