Wintering in southern latitudes with a motorhome

We often hear about people rolling away with their motorhomes to more southern latitudes when it gets dark and cold in Sweden. These are people (pensioners) who choose to play migratory birds and spend the cold season in, for example, Spain or Portugal.

Difficult when you are not a pensioner

The idea of spending the cold part of the year in the south is certainly appealing. Now, this is a pretty impossible project if you are under 65 and have children in school and a job to do. But avoiding the darkness and cold sounds appealing! 

On the other hand, we have read about people who seem to have a rather monotonous existence down there; staying at the same campsite, eating long breakfasts, reading the newspaper, doing crossword puzzles, hanging out with the neighbours, having dinner... Could it be boring? Or would it be ... really, really wonderful?

What is your opinion? Do you have experience of wintering in southern Europe? How have you lived down there? And if you haven't tried it, would you consider doing so?
