Welcome! This reminds me of how I learned about RVing in the 70s. I was stationed in AK and some of those closer to retirement had the early Winnebagos, the boxy ones, and they were referred to as "lifer mobiles", they had their retirement plans ready and waiting to go. Being able to hold on to a dream can get someone through the worst of the getting there.
Do you have many years left before retirement or are you closer to the dream?
