Since the Great Recession of 2008, I've relocated every 6 to 12 months from 2009 to 2017 due to selling off most of my stuff from my "starving artist" life, and becoming a seasonal national park ranger. I long ago learned how to squeeze my life into every square inch of space in my vehicles. Now that I'm in my permanent home in my "semi-retirement," I am free of the stress of those types of moves. I have a friend who is in her late 70s and moves twice a year to volunteer for various wildlife refuges, or to stay with friends. She absolutely refuses to stay rooted somewhere. Many other friends sold their home and possessions to RV all over the country - often volunteering for national parks or campgrounds for a 3-6 month stint before moving on. It takes both a sense of adventure and a "must do" doggedness to be continually uprooted. You knew how to make it easy on yourself. Bravo!
You are the only person I know whose ways of traveling around the USA for business have resembled mine. I wouldn't say it was easy on either of us, but our methods suited our needs. I sometimes envied the few who lived in a travel trailer and simply pulled their home to each new worksite. There is a lot to be said for not having to pack at all in order to relocate. But I would have needed a much bigger, hungrier vehicle and didn't want to do that to the environment.
