Hi,
My thoughts, looking at similar are moving to an RV for pqart of the year and cruising part if the year. The costs of home ownership, and the anchor it represents are not to my or my wife's liking and there is a lot of the states we have yet to see. this is more expensive than cruising, but hey, we can' t take it with us. There are a number of cruisers that do this its seems, one you may know is Steve Pavlidas who wrote many cruising guides.
