Where would you buy two STRs to have comfortable weather year round?

I have been living in Eastern Europe for the last 3 years. I had a couple STRs in the Tahoe area a few years back. They did great. I'm not as young as I used to be and decided I don't want to shovel snow anymore. Tahoe area can get feet of snow in a day or two multiple times per season. 

When I return to the US, I plan to go full time in an RV, just me and my dog. I would like to buy a couple of STRs. Maybe one in Arizona and another in Oregon. About the only thing I dislike more than shoveling snow is heat and humidity. I never thought I would be interested in Arizona but now I'm seeing some appeal for the winter months. If I had an escape route for when it starts to get hot in late May, or early February or whatever, I could get out of town. I could use my STRs when I'm there, or not even very much. A bonus would be having a place to park my RV that would not disrupt guests. 

I've got 350 liquid and would plan to pay cash. I've looked at Lake Havasu and Brookings, among others. LHC has tome condos with long parking spaces for boats. Brookings is more rural so RV parking might be easier. I think I'll be avoiding California but wouldn't rule it out entirely. I was born in LA and lived all my life in the Sacramento area, so it's home.

Just kicking around ideas and looking for input.
