When you look at a luxury RV coach, you likely imagine you're looking at a house on wheels. In fact, many retirees make it exactly that. They sell their house and move into the RV full time. For many people, retiring to an RV coach has always been the dream. While living a nomadic lifestyle does present some challenges, it has many benefits, too.
Keep reading for benefits of retiring to a luxury RV coach.
The main reason people dream of retiring to an RV is because of the travel. You can take an RV coach anywhere the road is wide enough. RV parks exist all over the United States, so you can visit any kind of destination you'd like. Many retirees living in an RV hitch a car to the back so they can park the RV at the park and drive all over towns and cities with ease.
On a similar note, many of the RV parks are in scenic parts of the country. Both private and state-owned parks are often near forests, lakes, beaches, and other beautiful areas. You can park your RV and orient your outdoor furniture to enjoy any kind of view you want. These are views that would normally cost extra either in a house or in a hotel. In some cases, they're completely unique.
Many RV kitchens are as luxurious as in a high-end home just on a smaller scale. So, if you're an avid cook, you'll have the resources to prepare good meals in your RV coach. What's more, you can make use of seasonal ingredients particular to the place you parked. You can eat in or dine al fresco. You also have the opportunity to eat at restaurants in new cities to try their local specialties.
As noted, many RV parks are near areas of natural beauty. Those areas typically have extensive trails at differing levels of difficulty. Many retirees use those facts as motivation to get out and exercise more than if they'd stayed at home. Conversely, you might stay at a park near the ocean or lake, which could provide an opportunity for swimming in nature.
Some people find difficulty in trying or maintaining hobbies when they still work full time. Sometimes they just stick to familiar activities such as watching TV or going to sporting events. When you retire, you have the time for hobbies, and the nomadic life can provide new opportunities. For instance, you could learn to fly fish in the river or boogie board in the ocean.
One of the challenges after retirement is to find ways to make new, exciting memories. It may feel difficult to keep your curiosity level up. However, public lands such as state parks usually feature areas of geological or natural significance, so your visits can help you create exciting new memories. What's more, the mental stimulation will help your mind stay sharp and healthy.
While some RV parks offer wide-open spaces to park an RV coach, many of them feature closer quarters. When you set up your outdoor furniture, you'll probably have a neighbor with a similar setup. That proximity makes striking up a conversation easier. If you stay in a place long enough, you may even make new friends. Either way, these conversations promote mental stimulation, too.
Through the years, friends and even families scatter across the country as they pursue new aspects of their lives. Booking flights and hotels to visit them is expensive. When you live in an RV coach, though, you can drive over to see them anytime you want — and enjoy the journey along the way. Some retirees even make a regular cycle of visits between their friends and family.
