Looking for friendly airport to tiedown, get a rental car for a trip to South Pasadena, Florida that will last several days. Looks like Albert Whitted (KSPG) is the closest airport. Clearwater (KCWL) has 90-cent per gallon lower fuel and will be a longer drive. My flight plan shows that I will need 21-gallons of fuel when I land so $18.90 fuel price difference is something but not sure if is worth the price for a longer drive.
The other options are two people fly commercial or drive from Pennsylvania. To me that sounds like two days driving and a night in a hotel to get there times two for the return trip, $800 commercial airfare plus rental car, or less than 6-hours one way in the RV with less than $480 AvGas plus rental car.
Just thinking out loud. With an 86.5-year old passenger, the RV is doable but getting in and out is difficult plus quick restroom breaks will not be quick.
