The 50 state experience is a fairly common subset within the RV community. We're relatively new to RVing and the "50" state gig is something we might do in the future. I previously considered doing a non-RV multi-state renting option early on in our retirement planning but decided that finding short term rentals in all the states was more hassle than it was worth to us. We have dogs which complicates the rental availability situation quite a bit.
What is dissapointing is to actually LIVE in 50 states, for most places you will see no difference. The suburbs of south bend, Indiana will be exactly like the suburbs of Jackson, MS and Sacramento, CA - 3 bedroom ranch house, McDonalds down the road, Interstate highway 3 miles away, same supermarket chain.
The real magic in seeing what differntiates the US is in the rural areas and outdoors. So RVing to live in 50 states, and then setting up in a rurul or state park - good idea. Actually moving 50 times to live in this McTown and then that McTown? No way. Just the thought of sitting in each states driver's license office to get the license changed makes me shiver in horror.
