 If RV lifestyle suits you, it's a good time to buy San Francisco Chronicle Share     For some, the vagabond life in an RV is the last way to live free. You turn the key and away you go. Just by parking, you can create your own coastal villa, lakeshore cottage or mountain retreat. You can roam wherever you want, stay at a spot overnight or for days, and venture off on daily adventures. Suddenly, you are off the grid, beholden to no one. This might feel like perfection for those who subscribe to the philosophy of Billy Joe Shaver, the old Texas songwriter, "Moving is the closest thing to being free." More
