Hi Bob,
I have similar finance situation as yourself, 63 and retired, but no SS, and no pension. I am "mining" my savings account. Money is a non-renewable resource.
I own a 29 ft Coachman Leprechaun RV, and a Chevy Metro. The RV gets 9MPG on a good day, but the Metro gets closer to 60MPG. I tow the Metro behind the RV.
I bounce back and forth between Florida and Texas a few times a year. I try to park someplace central, and use the Metro as much as possible. I have slept many nights in the Metro.
I removed all seats except drivers seat, and put in a camping cot on the right side. A mosquito net is a good thing, so you can keep the windows open for a breeze.
The RV has solar panels, and I can park it in the boonies for about 3 weeks before I have to dump the tanks.
I can do cheap because I have two friends that have ranches that allow me to stay on. But no hookups.
Good luck on what you decide.
