[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 2991105, member: 7900"] When the wife and I decided to do this after retirement, it was with the intent to stay in one place for an extended time so that we could see more of the natural and man made attractions of an area before moving on. We retired at the end of June in 2014 and moved to the Colorado Springs area, and we lived at an RV park there for 20 months before moving on to Oregon. In our case here, our RV site and utilities are paid as we are volunteer Ranch Hosts, so the savings from those normal expenses are being applied to a few lingering debts. We look to be here for perhaps another year to a year and a half. That will let us do more with debts and to get some things done here at the Ranch that we see need to be addressed. For instance, when we arrived, there was some junk alongside the main entrance road because that road used to not be the main entrance. However, when they changed entrances, they failed to move the junk. When we leave here, we hope to find another opportunity to volunteer somewhere for an extended time in a new area. For instance, I would love to go to southern Utah so that we would have the opportunity to see and photograph all of the national parks in that state and northern Arizona, as well as many other national and state parts and monuments. As for other RV'ers, I would have to say that unless they choose to do what is called "workkamping," most will move on a lot more frequently. Some will spend the winter in the south somewhere and then move north when it warms up. Many move every few weeks when they are traveling. [/QUOTE]
