RV friendly residential airparks
I am in the (very) early stages of retirement planning, and am searching for airpark candidates. If I don't stay here in North Florida, my desired area sort of spans both north & south Texas, since home is the hill country and Pecan Bayou. I'd like to find something in the area bounded by San Antonio, Brady, Abilene, and Fort Worth. Prefer very laid-back - not interested in high-end places like Spruce Creek. Looking for lots as opposed to built homes. Any recommendations will be gratefully accepted!

Take a look at Silverwings (TS36) just west of Fredericksburg. Mostly 4 acre lots. 3800X80 lighted runway built by the gummit. Several RVs here.

And with the largest Grumman Yankee/Cheetah/Tiger repair facility in the US at the end of the runway.
Should be a good nearby source for small hardware items...
Buy a big pick-up with a strong front end - ask the neighbors how many deer strikes they have had on the roads.

Big truck
Gil -
Already got a Ram 1500. As a native Texan and a Son of the Republic, I know to have a big truck!

Silverwings
Jim -
Tried to check out their website. Fredericksburg would do nicely. All I got was a blank screen when I brought their site up.

Sam, Once all the lots were sold by developer, he apparently let the website expire (or whatever websites do). Take a look at Google Earth. There are a few lots for resale. About $100K for 4 acre lots and more for the few 40 acre lots.
As mentioned before, Fletchair is a good neighbor to have!
