RV Living Coming to an End. What now?

Should I buy a house in retirement?

I am financially able but wondering if there is another path to 'sticks and bricks' living that is more flexible.

My husband had I have been living in our big ol' RV for the last 8 years traveling around. We have decided it's time to find a house and use the RV for 'rec-creating'.

We picked Kentucky (zero ties to this state) and have been exploring Zillow with a real estate agent. I am really torn about going from no long term debt to a mortgage and all those other home-owner expenses, in a completely unknown place.

I know it will be good for us to get off the road (better nutrition, fitness, maybe some friendships/fellowships.

I just can't get past making this insane commitment at this stage of my life (65yo, retired).
