11. RV Living and Continuous Travel

For the adventurous retiree, traditional housing might not hold any appeal at all. A growing number of seniors are selling their primary residences and buying recreational vehicles (RVs) to travel the country full-time. This nomadic lifestyle allows you to chase good weather, visit family scattered across the country, and explore national parks at your own pace.

Full-time RV living requires strategic financial planning. You must establish a domicile state for tax purposes, vehicle registration, and voting—popular choices include Florida, Texas, and South Dakota due to their lack of state income tax and mail-forwarding services. You also need a solid plan for accessing healthcare across state lines, as some Medicare Advantage networks are highly localized.
