Thanks to both of you——I’m a senior who stays north and I’d freeze to death rather than travel and live in a camper.
I know people who would love that life-——not me.

Possibly not as many make it from MA to Arizona as do Western Canadians. But unlike the rest of the country during winter, AZ is usually dry. Drier than Florida, even when it's not raining (in Florida). But it can rain in AZ in the winter. Quartzsite is in dry-bone area though, not much rain there at all. Supplying water for all those RV'ers is a challenge to area government and private enterprise.
Just off-hand I would wager Phoenix and Tuscon get more rain than Quartzsite.

Well, I've never been to England
But I kinda like the Beatles
Well, I headed for Las Vegas
Only made it out to Needles

Thought about buying an RV trailer then looked at all the ones for sale that were only one or two years old. Obviously people quickly got tired of them
There’s an appeal to stripping your life down to bare essentials and hitting the road, for a growing number of people, even working age rather than retired. Follow the mild weather around the country, work in kind to pay for the campground site and utilities, do freelance or contract work remotely for income. Even Amazon has programs for “WorKampers,” it’s gotten that prevalent.
The type of RV or trailer tends to matter. Some are a lot better for live aboard than others. Some are true four season, most aren’t. Many research what’s available and renovate older RV’s and trailers. Airstreams age well, well constructed, hold their value, well designed. Old GMC motorhomes are the same if you’d rather have an RV and tow a small car or SUV. Many others that fit the bill, too, it’s a whole subculture and a growing one.
I had an old GMC basically land in my lap for a very good price and am seriously considering doing this, myself.
