Any form of living that doesn't have enough space for a decent grand piano is not for me.

Seriously, though: If I'd want to go on vacation for a year, I'd take a normal car and rent houses/apartments/... as needed. Much more comfortable. I've rented a trailer for a vacation a few years ago. It was a "never again" experience. The things that annoyed me most would be the same in an RV, even when it's a $2M RV.

The old adage about the three "Fs" might apply to RV's as well.

Exactly.

Although my friend found it impossible or ridiculously expensive to rent for a year. I forget which.

He actually broke even on his sale, probably lucky timing.

I broke even (roughly) owning 3 airplanes over a few years.

But you can't put a price on the fun.

Flying your plane all over the place is worth something.

Of course, you never know what you might find in your RV...

I very much doubt that as a 70 year old retiree I will walk into my newly acquired RV and find that inside.

That bread seems racist.

To paraphrase Lefty Frizzel, If you've got the money, the honey has the time.

If living for months at a time at different locations were my thing, I'd just go for owning a small, cheap to maintain house/condo as a base, and travel as necessary. There seems to be no shortage of places to rent while traveling.

This is what I would like to do - slow travel thing. Have a home base that can be easily left, and then go somewhere, stay for as long as I like (weeks or months) and then go back to base or to another place.

Some friends of a friend are revamping an old school bus and turning it into a RV. I haven't seen there specifically, but there are some pretty cool revamps that people have done.

I will talk to my friend and see if they have any pictures of what they do so far.

Below is an example of one I have seen on the internet.

Usually, they don't have much insulation and you have problems staying warm or cool...
