I’ve given some thought to upon retirement 10-15 years buying a modest house and a decent fifth wheel. Free camping at Wal-Mart.
Haven’t run that by my wife yet.
We currently live in a modest house, but in outrageously expensive Maryland.
I think we could pull that off.
I should re-evaluate my 401K and add more. Last kid just graduated, we’re only helping one with college and he’s almost done. We loaned him much of the money and will start seeing it returned in a year or so. (aerospace engineer-real job)

Also, before you buy, join < https://rv.org/ > and get access to their RV Ratings data. Will save You a lot of $$ and avoid buying mistakes.
Hope Your retirement dreams all come true.
You may find that Camping in a Walmart aparking lot isn’t much fun. All pavement, no services(water,electric,sewer). Generally you can’t stay at Walmart very long.
