Living Mobile

[Moonglow]

Once the last child is gone, I plan on getting an RV and traveling the nation until I can't anymore....

I did the motor home thing first. I sucks as the "cockpit" area is wasted space when you are parked. Then I did the 5th wheel bit for a number of years. 38 foot with three slides but you lose truck bed space.

Pull behind IS the way to go. That truck bed is better used for your four wheeler/bike or whatever.

I was thinking of one of the smaller RV's not one of the big ones.It just be me and a dog...

 

[Freewill]

Shiiiitttt!!!! Thats a great way to retire for little money.

RVs are not exactly cheap, they cost near what some homes would cost. But then again you should be able to deduct mortgage payments.

Work out of it and claim it on business expense....

I have considered that, only problem is the work part. What I hear there is summer work at the national parks. Maybe volunteer but it might include free rent, don't know not ready yet.

An older Shasta is a great start.

They are around 6-8k around here for a used one...

Shop Arizona and Texas. Those are the cheapest states to buy.

You can get a job with the state and watch state parks.

Shiiiitttt!!!! Thats a great way to retire for little money.

Before I had kids I would take my pup tent, sleeping bags and cooking equipment and travel, sleeping where ever I could..or in the station wagon..The last time I went Colorado and traveled the state..That was 1983...

We did that in our younger days.
The wife and I discussed getting a small RV for it's ease of use and roaming the U.S. in search of the final retirement place.

You should be able to buy it outright at that point in your life.
And the tow behinds are not all that expensive and they work the best for what Fury is doing.
You park the trailer and use the tow vehicle for everyday driving.

A small travel is also a good portable home in case of fire/flood or whatever. You can set up 200 miles away in a Walmart parking lot to avoid an approaching disaster.

Any abode that is well-maintained in a nice location can be an enjoyable living environment.

I'd rather live in a beautiful trailer on the beach than in an inner city or meth-valley slum.

We have at least one member here who thinks its a reason to shame somebody and a bigger fool there is not. Living mobile allows me to enjoy sunshine and great temps ALMOST every day of the year. I have not even seen snow in a decade let alone have to shovel it. I live and travel by "Air Stream" and I can live places where people with ten times my income cannot live.

Any member here have a beach house in California? I HAVE... Here is THE place to be..

Yeah, Guno it really sucks to live like this. I'm sure ALL the folks feel the "SHAME" of living like this...

YOU folks can call that "Trailer Park" and MAYBE reserve a spot IF someone died. Rates for regulars are lower say about 600 for a month. Do you have any idea how hard it is to live like this in the middle of winter? It might get down to a bone chilling 50 degrees at night.

I LOVE the portable privacy wall these folks put in and if you look at the bottom left that waterfall ROCKS!

Now I myself LOVE my Mahogany walls, I just flat LOVE the grain the pattern and the color. So now you want to buy an old one but don't want to "restore" it and yes they have clubs and still make parts to restore old Airstreams AND Shasta's.

Well some member like our village idiot sees this and starts yelling "TRAILER TRASH" which is fine because it keeps HIS kind the hell away.

This is a real "mobile home" folks, a forty foot pull behind. But the owner gutted it to the shell and did a remodel added the sliding glass door you see and then knocking out HIS idea for the inside.

I got money that says this kitchen is finer then that member ever has had or ever will. But hey time to rest at that beach resort right?

True punishment right? GOT what they deserve right? They MUST be stupid retards right?

I live on the edge of the Senora during the winter and the White Apache Mountains during the summer. While that SAME member is out shoveling snow or putting up with rain I am sandal wearing beach side with a campfire for 600 a month.

Now granted 600 a month may sound a little high but when you throw in a Sauna a hot tub a pool a billiard room, weight room and the almost nightly outdoor camp fire it does not seem so bad. Me? I have a mount for my flat scree on the OUTSIDE of my unit so I can watch my favorite movie by camp fire with coffee.

And I smile and snicker at every trailer trash joke that member makes as he shovels snow as I post beach side/desert side or atop the grandest mountains.
I think I will continue to suffer, someone has to take a "hit" for the team right?

People in the south will buy 50 acres and slap a trailer on it.
It's the property they care about,not the house.

And if where you are living even starts to in the tank you move. No big deal.

Been to 46 States in our RV. But never stayed here before, looks like we missed something.

TRY and get a spot at the one I pictured at the start of the thread. It will NOT disappoint.

Where is Senora, do you mean Sonora?

As a kid we lived the whole summer in a cabin cruiser boat of the 1950's at the great lakes..

Doing this is on the top of my bucket list...I would probably go on my own because I just want to drive a couple hours and see the sights take it easy.
While my husband has adhd and wants to slam it down and drive far and fast to the next stop.

I want to get a small RV , not the trailer although they are nice too.
Especially the kind that you have an Air Streamer is the best out there..

If someone was to break in I can take off and not be stuck in a trailer, of coarse I would probably get a small weapon too.

Something like this, although very expensive.

A snub nose 38 or 32 is my choice with the first shot being "snake shot". I know a fellow with a 410 Derringer that is very pleased with his. "Out there" you will shoot a snake long before you face an ignorant person.

Big difference between an RV which is used primarily as a vacation vehicle and a single or double wide in Floyd's jesus is lard trailer park , like the one you dwell in . Nice try though!!!

I have been mobile for about 12 years now. NOT quite as long as you have been a reptile though.

As a woman alone, it may be different running into those icky people. Especially an older woman..not for me anymore but to steal my camper

I love doing things on my own, so does my husband.

So do you pay for satellite or dish / comcast for TV / or internet?
