Someone wise told me don’t bother thinking about retirement until you are close because the variables change so much and you will only be thinking about the context of the times in which you retire.

How far out are you?

I've read that many full-timers recommend a diesel "pusher" type of Class-A - the engine is in the back.

Anyone have experience with those?

You could stay in a lot of really swanky hotels before you'd spent $2 million, plus you wouldn't have to clean out your own septic tank.

And buy your own linens and cookware!

A suite at the Ritz Carlton....about $750 a night, let's say.

$2,000,000/750 = about 7.4 years.

Of course, room service and tips are extra.

You could stay at Hill Top Farm, complete with libidinous farmer's daughter, for decades.

I guess it would get old, eventually

For fifty grand you could get blown in a jet and you'd definitely notice.

I got a great massage from a tall blond stewardess in first class one night. Probably as close as I’ll get to that.

@doctor-phibes she was better looking than any woman who ever looked at you.

I don't know how to break this to you, but that wasn't a scented candle.

I have always thought a 5th wheel and truck made the most sense. If looked after, the trailer unit keeps its value longer over time. A well maintained 3/4 or 1 ton truck also have a decent used vehicle market value. The same cannot be said for RVs.

Having said that, my preference would be always be a truck bed camper. I sold my camper this year for exactly what I paid for it 24 years ago. I still have the 3/4 ton 4X4 long box truck.
