nope, not at all.... i would be more concern with the guy that thinks its wrong choice to live that way.... you see its the one who judges someone else for the choices they make about where and how they wanna live, that has the problem and is a shallow person..

IMHO

This is also a good point.I just bought a new trailer,and the wife and I were talking about something like this being in our future.Some really nice parks out there,and I don't have a pool or hot tub at my place.Would still keep the home base,but would be nice to have those amenities w/o the upkeep.

3.5 years ago we sold the house and almost everything in it. Started with a 2012 F350 Diesel pulling a 38' 5th wheel. Stayed full time for 3 years and ended up with a 39' 2014 5th wheel.


I wanted to keep my Harley back then and we looked at every Toy Hauler out there. Problem was by the time you had the 10' or 12' garage part it just didn't leave much living area for full timing. Gave up riding for the three years and just traveled all over the country.


Anyone that tells you that traveling in a RV is a cheap way to travel the country probably has never done it for an extended period of time. Campgrounds charge anywhere from $25.00 per night to $80.00. Even if you stick to state parks and cheaper places you still have fuel and other expenses.


The bottom line is can you survive living full time in about 350 square feet (large 5th wheel or motorhome?) Could you live in just 250 square feet (large toy hauler minus the garage).

I think there is a trend now to buy a toyhauler and use the garage specifically as a second bedroom.

Will be taking of to Quartzsite AZ January for the rv jamboree along with the RG and ATV. The cool thing its BLM camping in the desert then off to Yuma for more BLM camping, just really comfortable riding around lake Havasu and laughlin. I seem I have more energy to ride when I tow my bike.

For thought, all rv's depreciate at a faster rate than a mobile home, and last about the same. Don't sell the house,lol.
