    I love it! I think that your experience in life regarding to the apartment cost it is exactly the way that I feel about it. Sorry if a make some mistakes in my English. I'm still learning. So, I'm planning to move to the US from Chile, in a changing life experience. And one of the things that I really want to change for my previos life experience is the debts. I really don't want to be trap in debts anymore in my life, so I'm more than willing to make the life changes needed to make that happen. Live with less it is definitely live with so much more for me, more time to go to the parks, to the museums, to the all the free and wonderful thing that the city could offer, and some of them will be never know for people trap in the dept style of living. So, thanks very mucho for sharing your Wonderful experience. I have only one question that I'm sure that you answer in other video but I will ask anyway: how much is your RV cost? Understanding that additional to that buying cost we have to add the rent and maintenance cost. And the other normal cost of living like electricity, gas, internet, etc. Thank in advance for your time.

    I've live stationary in my motorhome for two years now. I had a cousin with a full hook-up space they used while building their house and he's charging me a reasonable rent. My plan is to head to Eastern Arizona to find land next spring. In Apache county as long as my land has septic I can live full time in my RV. I have everything I need for solar, and I'll truck in water. Depending on if I have to do a personal loan to purchase the land and septic, after the loans are paid off in 5-6 years my housing expense will be about $3 a month to save for the annual property tax. Water will run about $80 every few months to have it trucked in and pumped into a storage tank.

    We too full-time stationary in a 30 foot travel trailer but in Southwest Texas. My sister full-times in a 40+ foot Class A motor home outside Ventura California. We live an inexpensive 55+ RV park. We have amenities and community oriented to Seniors. My sister outside Ventura is is a big open to all ages major franchise campground that mostly has short term campers. They have children and teenage oriented activities. She literally pays triple the lot rent that we do and she doesn't have sewer hookup. She needs to pay to get pumped out once or twice a week. We do travel North during the summer. But every year we travel less and less. Full-time RV living is a lifestyle choice. It's not necessarily inexpensive.

    After fifteen years in my 30 foot travel trailer, I found the perfect portable washing machine. It is small, forty pounds, washes twelve pounds of clothes per load. It has a high speed spinner that dry spins until the clothes are barely damp. It can be set in your shower or tub and filled with your shower then drained in the shower drain. (No pumps, gravity only). It is found on RUclips, I think. I forgot the company name and it’s not on the washer. The wash cycle is fifteen minutes and the spin cycle is five minutes. When not in use it fits in a closet.

    What made you decide on a travel trailer instead of a class A motorhome or 5th wheel? Do you guys ever boondock? Are you ever going to consider putting solar? How much is the RV park you are currently at? I'm thinking about selling my home and going full time. I'm 57, no wife, no kids, no pets Big house and feel as though time is just passing me by. Thinking about a smaller class A and maybe 15 acres of land in TN with electric on site. Thanks for any info.

    I live full time in a large Rv Resort park in Central Florida. There are thousands of full time RVers in Florida and many other states. You can be in a membership group and move from park to park every 3 weeks or become an annual and stay put. Another option is seasonal snow birds who spend 6 months here and six months up north etc. My living expenses are very low. I have great amenities and choices of sites plus many mobile Rv techs available right in the park if I need a repair. I could never afford an apartment in this area and would not want one. I feel fortunate to have this amazing lifestyle.

    ALWAYS turn off your water at the spicket and your propane when you leave your camper. It seems like a PIA but it really only takes 3 seconds and it avoids SO many potential problems. And dont forget to wash your awning (on both sides) every 2-3 months.

    In Winter you absolutely will blow through propane. Also I typically had my pipes freeze. I was in the high desert so it would get up to the 40s during the day so my pipes would unfreeze and I could shower then. The newer furnaces in RV's are junk, and I had problems with mine all the time.
