RV Living · 55+ Communities · Retirement · Travel
Open Range Assets helps people over 55 plan the move: hitting the road full time, settling into an active adult community, or doing a little of both.
Four ways to retire well
Most of the people we work with try more than one. Start where you are curious.
Full time, snowbird, or summers only. Choosing a rig, a home base, and a route that fits your budget.
Life on the road → Path 2Active adult neighborhoods, RV resorts with lot ownership, and low-maintenance homes near what matters to you.
Find your neighbors → Path 3Downsizing the house, simplifying what you own, and building a week you actually look forward to.
Plan the next chapter → Path 4National parks, seasonal routes, RV rallies, and trips where someone else does the driving.

Full-time RVers trade square footage for scenery. Done right, it can cost less than keeping a house, and you wake up somewhere new whenever you like.
| Rig type | Typical length | Good fit for |
|---|---|---|
| Class A | 29 to 45 ft | Full-timers who want home-sized living space and plan to tow a car |
| Bus conversion | 40 to 45 ft | Travelers who want a coach chassis built for millions of highway miles |
| Fifth wheel | 30 to 44 ft | Long seasonal stays, with the truck free for day trips |
| Class C | 21 to 35 ft | Couples easing in, part-time travel, easier driving and parking |
| Class B | 18 to 24 ft | Weekend trips and travelers who want to fit in a regular parking space |
Path 2 · 55+ Communities
Active adult communities trade the yard work for clubhouses, pickleball, and people who are free on a Tuesday afternoon.
Path 3 · Retirement Life
Whether you roll or settle, the planning starts in the same place: what you keep, what you let go, and what you want your days to hold.
Sort the house room by room. Decide what goes with you, what goes to family, and what gets sold.
Online courses and virtual workshops walk you through each stage of the transition at your own pace.
Plan for fuel, site fees, insurance, maintenance, and HOA dues before you commit to either path.
Mail forwarding, mobile internet, doctors on the road, and a plan for seeing the grandkids.
Path 4 · Travel
Retirement is the first time many people can travel on their own calendar. Go in the off season, stay as long as you like, and skip the crowds.
Courses & Coaching
Online courses you take at your own pace, live virtual workshops, and one-on-one coaching with Bill.
Go from "should we?" to a confident first year of RV life. Each module ends with a decision you write down, so you finish with your own Road Plan.
Sort a lifetime of belongings room by room and decide what comes along, what goes to family, and what you let go.
What to look for in HOA documents, how to tour, and which communities welcome RVs.
Monthly 90-minute sessions on one topic at a time, with time for your questions. Replays included.
Private sessions to plan a next chapter that is active, purposeful, and built around what matters to you.
About Us
Open Range Assets is a family business run by Bill and Deb Bergfeld. We started it to help people over 55 plan the life they want next, whether that means a motorcoach, a home in an active adult community, or a little of both.
Deb brings a career in Texas homes and home staging to Open Range. She teaches the downsizing side of the move: sorting a lifetime of belongings, simplifying what you own, and choosing a lifestyle that fits, whether it has wheels or a foundation.
Bill earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Texas A&M University and went on to teach equine surgery at Auburn University. He later owned and operated veterinary clinics in Montgomery County, Texas. Bill also shows Arabian horses, specializing in Western ranch riding.
Today he coaches retirees, helping them plan a next chapter that is active, purposeful, and on their own terms.
Plan your next chapter
Whether you are pricing your first coach, touring 55+ communities, or deciding what to keep and what to let go, start with a conversation.
