My aunt and uncle did the travel-the-country-in-an-RV thing in the late 80s. They had farmed all their lives, decided to liquidate the farm, buy an RV and spend several months traveling. After they were done traveling, they settled in an RV park and lived in the RV. I thought it sounded awful, but they seemed to like it. One time, my Aunt caught Legionnaire's disease, because they didn't maintain the AC properly.
