Ideas to assist you.
After you have bought the motor home or trailer of your dreams, read this. Now you can determine if you want to live in it full time or just jaunt about on mini vacations as time allows.
I would like to address this to anyone who is thinking about the pros and cons of spending time in the RV.
If your RV has a trailer hitch you might be trailering a car, small truck or SUV behind for easy access to sightseeing or picking up that loaf of bread you forgot to buy before hooking up to utilities at the camp site. some people are bringing bikes or small motor scooters for just that need, rather than unhook often. If you have this convenience, you might think the coming statements are so helpful. Just in case you do not h ave a hitch with a second vehicle at your disposal, I KNOW the following will assist you greatly. The spaces that are rented have options in most RV parks. Some of those are: water, sewer, and electric. If you will be living in the RV full time and renting a space for a month or more, you will also possibly be given garbage included in the monthly fee.
The pros of living in an RV are numerous in comparison to house or apartment. The fees, especially on a monthly basis, are considerably lower. Another attribute is that you have all or some utilities included in that monthly check.. Plus, all the maintenance is done by someone else, leaving all your time for fun. RV’s are much smaller than homes, so house cleaning is a breeze taking only a small amount of time to do everything. Since they are not stationary, there are no taxes on your motor home. Yes, you have licensing fees, however they are a drop in the bucket in comparison to land taxes.
Let us talk about traveling rather than staying in one place permanently.
If the weather is inclement, pack up and go to a better climate instead of waiting out the storm. Generally people will come see you and not expect you to put them up for the night when you are living in a motor home. You will get invited to their homes for celebration dinners and special holidays.
When you want to visit anyone in another state, you get to sleep in a bed in which you know who was in it last. If you are thirsty or hungry, those are easily satisfied by pulling off the side of the road . Some places like some Wal-Marts allow you to stay in the parking lots for free. In my state of Oregon, anyone can pull off the side of the road and stay overnight unless it is specifically marked “no overnight parking”. Check out your state.
Have a great trip!

OK you sold me on it, I’m going out now to buy one LOL Sounds like a good life, I really think I might look into renting one first though. Very good read. Michael

I have a friend who lives permanently in an RV and he loves it. It does sound nice, especially having less space to clean. Housework is not my most favorite way to spend the day.

Very interesting article here, some things to think about indeed. When my family had one we would just use it to go on camping\fishing trips. However, great information here :]

My Wife and I live in a Travel Trailer full time and just love it. We even bought a place that is zoned RV’s and live there as well as another place we have so we actually have two places we live much cheaper than one place with a house. We love the fish fries with neighbors and fishing and just fun, fun, fun. Have a fun day, life is just too short not too!!!
