I've been in an RV park for 2 years. I absolutely love it. 650.00 per month including water, sewer, sanitation, 100.00 in electric, pool, bathhouse, fishing pond, trails. Very quiet. I'm staying my ass right here. 🤣
I'm not doing it yet, but to me, two of the pros are: 1) Living lighter and being able to do the things I really want to do with my life, rather than spending my time earning money to take care of my house and stuff, pay for it, etc. 2) Being able to clean my home in 1 hour.
Hi 👋 Jo-Jo and thanks for watching! Yes stationary RV living can be very rewarding when you know the pros and cons (and what to look 👀 for) glad you and your husband are enjoying your travel trailer ❤️ BloggingBrandi
1st time viewer new subscriber. Ive been living stationary full time at a RV resort for over 3 years. I No longer need my $1400 month f350 truck payment. If i need to move my 45ft 5th wheel, i hire it out. I love my RV life!
Living in an RV park full time means you can have a regular doctor, dentist, etc. You can have an electrician, plumber, and other service people without having to go looking each time if you are on the road. Also, you will have favorite restaurants, activities, etc.
🙋♀️ So true @steveocal1 I couldn’t agree more! Living stationary in an RV is like having a house, neighborhood, and being part of a community. Thanks for watching and chiming in! Glad you enjoyed this ☝️ one! 💕 @BloggingBrandi
Great video! Newly retired, late 50's here and getting ready to live the "Snowbird" RV Lifestyle. Gonna do 6 months of Seasonal Florida Winters Nov.-April and Maine beaches Summer Seasonal. Owned a mint Holiday 32 ft. Summer Seasonal on the water at York Beach, Maine for quite a few yrs back in the 80's and 90's. Now I'm a retired single w/kids all grown up into young professional adults, I'm gone! I just remember the enjoyment of being in my 20's back in the 80's and living every summer at the beach. Just like Eddie Money singing "I Wanna Go Back." I'm done w/New England Winters and the Nor'easters, blizzards, ice & snowstorms. So sick of Winters. Time for the Snowbird Lifestyle!
Hi Neil! Thank you and thanks for watching! 🙏 Congrats on retirement and I love that your RVing no matter the lifestyle! 🙌 I love Florida & beaches 🏖 are my favorite 💕. I wish I would’ve known about RV park living season or not so many years ago! You got in the club early! But after 5 years full time I can say there are way more benefits of stationary living vs traveling 🧳 so I like your plan 👍 Which RV are you going to be enjoying your best years ever in? 🤔 ❤️ Bloggin Brandi
Hi Geovanni! You’re welcome! 🙏 Thanks for watching and chiming in! I’m glad you found this one ☝️ so informative! 🤔 Have you been thinking about living in an RV park? ❤️ Bloggin Brandi
I like your thought process Brian. When I’m traveling I drop my laundry off at a laundry mat for wash n fold. But, right now stationary my Mom lives close by so I go over there 👉 😂 as the RV park I’m at doesn’t offer any washers or dryers. 💕BlogginBrandi
Yay @NatashaIsraelYeke excited to hear that and glad you enjoyed this video! BTW if you’re thinking about stationary Rving I just shared my new travel trailer setup at the RV park! 👉 ruclips.net/video/z9qOPysNu50/видео.htmlsi=Db3mnyXnMQlQ9anx ❤️ @BloggingBrandi
Great Video! I have ended up living stationary on a lease lot. I go to my mom's that is about 30 miles away to take care of her. This is my getaway to just unwind at times. Like you say there are pros & cons. I hope to have a travel van one day for my traveling times. It does take time and watching you has made me think about things that have save me allot of troubles. Thanks again!
Thank you for the video. I love all the reasons for living in an RV park. It's exactly what I want to do. Saving on gas, wear and tear, moving a lot are all things that I'm thinking about.
Excellent info. I was considering living full time in a park model rv, but now, I'm not sure it's for me; (or that I am that kind of guy.) I'm older now, and not as physically capable as I once was. Plus, I'm retired, and there is a lot of things I just don't want to do any more. (I know how I am.) I'll still look into it, but this has made me think about specific things. (I'm not as tolerant of noisy neighbors as others might be. And I don't think I'd take care of the RV like I should.) But THANKS, it made me realize what I'd be getting into, and I'm not sure I would be a good fit for that lifestyle.
Remember, stationary is relative. That could be a year at a time or just a few months at a time. You can get monthly rates at a lot of parks. Spend a few months maybe work camping at one park, then find another work camping gig a little ways away that gives you new scenery and new things to check out on your off days. Summer up north and winter down south. That said, we had a great time wintering in the hills or NW Oregon. It was a little creepy when we got over a foot of snow and we knew there was only one other person in the entire state park. A definite "Shining" moment.
I could see that and relate to those feelings! I agree on the stationary stuff. I didn’t plan to be stationary for so long I have had lots of family issues to tend to and the pandemic all played a role in my decision. But, I love the idea workamping and did stay for 2 weeks to a month before my present situation! Thanks for all your comments & watching my video! 💕BlogginBrandi
Correct about less wear & tear on your RV. Great point. People don't realize as your traveling w/your RV there is a lot of flexing on the unit. Especially w/a travel trailer besides the motorhome. Continuous flexing can cause more maintenance of the weather seals around windows, roofline, ac's etc.. Especially on the lower quality RV's. A lot of them out there! Less wear & tear on a Seasonal or Full Time site RV.
I couldn’t agree with you more Neil! Most people definitely do NOT realize the benefits of Full Time RV life and the RVs. BUT it does depend on how people take care of their RVs too 🤔 I’ve seen some strange things with people do with stationary for a while and what they do NOT do! (Like maintenance 🤦♀️) Thinking back most of my problems have come while “moving” or in the process of arrivals, departures, & on the road trips! Thanks for sharing your thoughts 💭 Neil! ❤️ Bloggin Brandi

Thanks Brandi. I'm currently traveling with an RV club for full-time single RVers in my class A motorhome. I'm paying an outrageous amount of money for fuel on the road, so thinking of parking in an RV park and getting a job. Last winter,, I workamped at an RV park and spa in southern California from Oct 2020 to April 2021 and accumulated a ton of stuff, which I've reluctantly given away or tossed into trash even though nothing was wrong with it, I just didn't have space to carry it and still be comfortable in my RV. TLDR: Thanks, I enjoyed and appreciated your video and have experienced some of what you discussed.
Hi 👋 Lilac! The RV club sounds fun but traveling vs staying longer at RV parks does make a difference on the bank account 💰 The spa workamping idea sounds amazing! Hopefully you took advantage of the “spa” part while you were there 🙌 And you’re right staying in one place does cause more stuff to accumulate. I’m constantly minimizing my life! Glad you can relate & thanks for watching Lilac! 🙏 ❤ XO ❤ Bloggin Brandi 🗣 P.S. JOIN MY SECRET FACEBOOK GROUP & Interact with me BTS: rversity.com/secretgroup
Thank you for posting an excellent video. I have a house and a class b rv. I’m considering downsizing and leasing my house and then live in my class b for about a year or two. You gave me a lot to think about and made me think twice. I need to make sure I have covered all of my bases before diving in. If I make a video on this, I’ll shout you out for certain!! You got yourself a new subbie!! 💚🦚💚🦚 stay safe 🤗🤗
My wife and I are from Canada and we are retiring in 2 years and we've had enough of winters, so we're getting an RV so we can live the snowbird lifestyle, so 6 months down south for the winter and back up home for the summer. We'll have different destinations every year but will settle in the same camp at the destination we choose for the season.
my husband and I will be forced to live in an rv while we attend courses in California. RV life isn't our 1st choice (mine was an arched cabin but could find nowhere to build it in California). We've adapted to our circumstances though and now we're really excited for stationary rv life!
I truly understand the pros and cons. Just put your mind on positive and it will come together. (just have to wait for the right moment) Thanks for the info.
Tomorrow will be my first day in my first RV. 2022 Grand Design Reflection RD260. I'm excited and yet nervous. Going to Black Sands Resort in Grand View, Idaho. Glad I found you!

We are really considering this lifestyle that you are living. I truly love that you can have an enclosed yard for your fur-kids and also living on a lake. Can you tell me where your RV park is located? It sounds perfect for us. The idea of living on a lake on an island sounds splendid!
No roaches, high rent, blasting music from neighbors, ppls annoying dogs barking all day, etc. Here in Houston there are strict rules for RV parks. Apartments here are infested with bugs and ghetto ppl. RV life it is for me and my kiddo come March 🙏🏼

So rv living is cheaper then a house or apartment, you never have to mow your lawn unless you choose to go stationery, you can bring your house with you and travel to beautiful places anytime you want, it can be more eco friendly because if your using solar panels for power its better for the environment then your average home owner, you have less stuff and therefore have less to clean, if your moving a lot you are forced to keep things clean and tidy leaving little to no room for laziness..... This is sounding better and better by the minute...

@@stephaniedekinger2463 OMG I'm so sorry to hear that! I'd always recommend pulling your credit report and knowing where you stand before applying for an RV. Keep in mind RVs are considered luxury items. There are ways to get approved even with bad credit. It also depends on the RV price, your downpayment, the bank etc... I was turned down for my Motorhome by a few banks until one approved me. And that was with STELLAR credit!!! The dealership and your relationship with the bank/financing company play a role. What you put on the application or how things are worded, plus So much more and too much to text here.

Omg I am just starting out on the research part of rving stationary. I feel so lucky to have found you because I KNOW NOTHING. It’ll be me and my mom. I am 50 and my mom is 70. We are on a very limited income however we have a lot of equity in our home that we are going to sell and take the profits and buy an rv. I’m a nervous wreck but tired of worrying about if I’ll have enough money to live each month.
@@The_GingerFiles oh good. what area do u live in? if u get snow in winter, u will have to hurry this up in order to drive/tow the rv south for the winter, otherwise all your rv plumbing will freeze n break.

That's not always true. My park is heavily treed and the spaces are large. Large enough to keep two cars on your lot. Noise is kept at a minimum. Quiet time is no noise after 9 pm.
An rv park is convenient. We will live winters in Louisiana to be close to family. We will spend summers in New Mexico because we want to be away from hurricanes.
Very helpful! Thank you sooo much! We are considering living in a “kid hauler” full time. We have 4 kids and plan on being stationary during the school year to give them some normalcy than travel when they have long weekends and during the summer.
Hello and Thanks for watching! So glad you enjoyed these pros and cons of my "stationary" RV Park life! Excited to hear you are thinking about diving into RV Living!

We currently live stationary in an rv park. We have full hook ups and we do have laundry on site and our garbage gets picked up. My husband has a job 20 minutes away and my son has a summer job 5 minutes away. There isn't anymore weekend warriors in this park. The park is strictly full timers. Not sure if we will stay here for more than a year. We do want to do some traveling and are just needing to be wise about when and how long we're gone.

Most of the cons weren’t necessarily cons because you would have the same problems if you lived in a normal house or apartment or based off personal preference it was about 2 solid cons that she mentioned (maintenance to a certain extent and weather conditions) so the pros outweigh the cons I feel like it’s more about finding a good rv park location that works for you

My God I heard of these RVS being SUPER expensive to live in especially traveling in one but by you saying that these systems break down without even being used that takes it to a whole different level there wow
Hi @scottvickery2057 it depends on the RV Park. Some allow them, but you have to pay for it and leave them if you depart. Some already have them pre-built. All depends on the "rv park owner" I would say see what others are doing. Mine just had to be "portable or removable" but You can see my latest Stationary set-up and car port (not big enough for an RV you'll see) 👉 ruclips.net/video/rAzS9gu0MUY/видео.html I hope this helps! ❤ @BloggingBrandi
We’re full time we don’t move people are nice have 1 couple that’s not nice but we don’t fret them we have done this years ago for 4 years & now we’re back at again loving it we’re on fixed income we can’t afford a house or high rent Home base is nice we have a small camper we use to local travel for camping it’s the lifestyle we can afford to do…❤
To me, being stationary in an RV defeats the purpose of being in an RV. In some areas you could easily buy a house for the same or less than what you paid for the camper. And the house goes up in value. If I were stationary, I would go for a mobile home and have more space that’s better built.
Most people's fear of RVing is safety. Mine is what kind of neighbors do I have to deal with. Do you have any recommendations what to look for before you land somewhere to avoid horrible neighbors as much as possible?
How frequently do you flush and sanitize your water system? You don't want to just sit around long term with your tank full and should sanitize the system at least annually.
Hi Brian & Thanks for watching! I dump every few days or so. Never leave my lines open. I sanitize more often annually. Weekly or monthly whatever I feel is necessary. 💕BlogginBrandi
7 years in a 5th wheel and i l-ove it. Would never go stix and brix It is FAR overrated and as far as investment if you suck out expenses and interest and expenses, you dont make that much on appreciation

Ah, ever heard of depreciating assets though? So unless you tell me your RV is worth more after 5 years than you bought it, you have still less than a mortgage towards a house that cyclically will be worth more over time.
Hi @vtr-vegasteslarides569 🙋♀️ Thanks for watching and chiming in! YES normally I'd say RVs are depreciating assets especially a new one. BUT, there was a HUGE shift over the past few years that did allow A LOT of people (including me) to SELL their RVs for MORE $$$ than they paid for! Supply & Demand. I think it all depends on people's reason for RV Living especially Stationary in an RV Park. Paying for an apartment doesn't add any value to your portfolio either. Same with a mortgage it all only works out as planned if you pay it down, get the right loan terms, etc... WHY are you thinking about "Stationary RV Living" and buying an RV?

lower monthly rent. I manage the park so I get FSHU and WiFi. The drawback is a lack of freedom and I am 71 so I am retiring and looking for another park to be in fulltime then leave every winter for the sunbelt.
This might be a silly question, but I've never lived in an RV. When you say you haven't moved it for a year, does that mean you can drain the water and stuff like that from your parked spot? Or do you have to drive it to another water hook up place on the property? Thanks!
Hi Emily! Thanks for watching and that's not a silly question! We all have to start somewhere. NO I NEVER have to move my RV. Hooking up at an RV Park with "Full Hook Ups" means you have all you're utilities there Water, Sewer, Electric... The ONLY thing I have to go get or have filled is my propane.

Question: how long can you keep an rv parked before the elements/moisture starts to ruin everything? Wouldn't you have to buy a newer one every 6 or 7 years? Sitting in one spot, wouldn't that wreck the tires? Thanks
Hi Karen! Great question 🙋♀️ even while the RV is parked I still reseal the roof! Wash the RV. My tires are covered, and the tires are also coated with a film that helps protect them. The stabilizer jacks are down and that helps relieve some pressure off the tires also we have installed some jacks under the slides to help with stability. Tires are replaceable! They’re just regular tires 🛞 also if we ever move our RVs we have an air compressor - always check the pressure before moving. I made some more videos about my rv park life you can watch below!

All the RV parks around me seem to want people who don’t live in their Rv….. just vacationers. The ones that I’ve visited all have clauses that say no more than 150-180 days consecutive or whatever. That has been a real problem and I’d love if anyone knows any way around that? Maybe? Or maybe I’m just in a bad area (Delaware).
Hi Christina! And thanks for watching :) sooo my 1st ? - How do they know how long you’re staying? Why not leave or go on vacation (go to work) pretend whatever for a few days, a week etc…??? Also another thing an RV park owner suggested to me once was rent the spot in my name for the maximum amount of days per that area etc and then switch it to my spouse, partner, friend, mom, dog, cat imaginary friend ya know :) hope this helps haha 😂 💕 Blogging Brandi
Hi 👋 thanks for watching and chiming in! Florida has tons of RV parks all different prices. You’ll save a lot when paying to stay long term in an Rv park vs short term overnight/weekly parking.

Hi @Studmuffin00 thanks for watching and chiming in! Depends on the RV Park! Some that I've been to only allow one vehicle at your spot and make you park the other in a different area, like for visitors, etc., but some will let you park 1, 2, 3 cars as long as they all fit in your space. I personally haven't been charged for parking my car at my RV. So YES for me it's always been free! 🙋♀️ -- @BloggingBrandi P.S.

It sounds crazy but I'm really thinking of living in one for 3-5 years and save 100k plus in that time....my granny is cool with us putting one on their concrete slab they have at their home
you need full hookups, water coming into the trailer; sufficient power coming into the rv, and a secure sewer hookup or septic tank nearby. dont try it without these things.
Hey Ryan, so I’ve been watching a few ( ok, lots) of RV’ers episodes and I saw on “Big Truck, Big Travels” that there might be of interest to y’all about the issue you have at the (drop down) area at the front. On their 5th wheel (which they had custom built) there is a large gusset on each side. Don’t know if it’s something that would work for you but I thought I’d send this to you. How can I send you pictures?

Hey there, I've been thinking a lot about stationary RV living for a while and one of my biggest questions is how well the slides hold up. If I plan to be stationary (and I mean really stationary, as in rarely if ever moving the RV once it's placed) it would be nice to keep the slides open as much as possible for the extra room. They wouldn't be getting bounced around from driving and I could always put some kind of tarps and weather sealant on them, or at least that's what I figure. Do you or any of the other RV lifers that you know keep their slides open more or less year round?
@@Ray96744 Is that safe for the slide and the home itself though? I'm assuming that the slides aren't meant to spend months or years left open but I wouldn't know.
theres a video on yt shows a gal that uses that wavy style plastic sheeting on top of her slides (hold in place with a rock) it drains the water off very easily; much cheaper than slider awnings and no leaks!
Wait wait wait just a min! Lol did you just say that these Super Expensive depreciating vehicle homes don't actually keep you cool or warm ? My god that is a deal breaker for about 98% of people who wants to live in a box with no AC because you just basically said it doesn't cool your rv enough meaning its uncomfortable, wow

Hey OKIE Girl, you have a depreciating asset you weird 🤡
I've been in an RV park for 2 years. I absolutely love it. 650.00 per month including water, sewer, sanitation, 100.00 in electric, pool, bathhouse, fishing pond, trails. Very quiet. I'm staying my ass right here. 🤣
Sooo...you pay $750 total for RV living per month?
@@georgiayoung9124 No I pay 650 plus any electric over my 100.00 amount built into lot rent. This month my total was 13.00 for electric overage.
Omgggg exactly what I’m planning! Hopefully by March,
Just seeing all these. Now. Now my big sis got me a duplex… nice area…for $330 month total
I'm new to RV living. I want to be stationed and hooked to sewer, electric and water. I'm clueless
I'm not doing it yet, but to me, two of the pros are: 1) Living lighter and being able to do the things I really want to do with my life, rather than spending my time earning money to take care of my house and stuff, pay for it, etc. 2) Being able to clean my home in 1 hour.
You ain't lying about the cleaning. Mines spotless inside and out in about an hour. I mean deep cleaning.
Number 1 is huge. There are loads of miserable people in cubicle farms, suburbs and cities.
My husband and I have been living in my travel trailer and the park that it currently set up at for almost a year now and i can honestly say I love it
Hi 👋 Jo-Jo and thanks for watching! Yes stationary RV living can be very rewarding when you know the pros and cons (and what to look 👀 for) glad you and your husband are enjoying your travel trailer ❤️ BloggingBrandi
Same.
1st time viewer new subscriber. Ive been living stationary full time at a RV resort for over 3 years. I No longer need my $1400 month f350 truck payment. If i need to move my 45ft 5th wheel, i hire it out. I love my RV life!
how much is your lot rent ???
Living in an RV park full time means you can have a regular doctor, dentist, etc. You can have an electrician, plumber, and other service people without having to go looking each time if you are on the road. Also, you will have favorite restaurants, activities, etc.
🙋♀️ So true @steveocal1 I couldn’t agree more! Living stationary in an RV is like having a house, neighborhood, and being part of a community. Thanks for watching and chiming in! Glad you enjoyed this ☝️ one! 💕 @BloggingBrandi
Great video! Newly retired, late 50's here and getting ready to live the "Snowbird" RV Lifestyle. Gonna do 6 months of Seasonal Florida Winters Nov.-April and Maine beaches Summer Seasonal. Owned a mint Holiday 32 ft. Summer Seasonal on the water at York Beach, Maine for quite a few yrs back in the 80's and 90's. Now I'm a retired single w/kids all grown up into young professional adults, I'm gone! I just remember the enjoyment of being in my 20's back in the 80's and living every summer at the beach. Just like Eddie Money singing "I Wanna Go Back." I'm done w/New England Winters and the Nor'easters, blizzards, ice & snowstorms. So sick of Winters. Time for the Snowbird Lifestyle!
Hi Neil! Thank you and thanks for watching! 🙏 Congrats on retirement and I love that your RVing no matter the lifestyle! 🙌 I love Florida & beaches 🏖 are my favorite 💕. I wish I would’ve known about RV park living season or not so many years ago! You got in the club early! But after 5 years full time I can say there are way more benefits of stationary living vs traveling 🧳 so I like your plan 👍 Which RV are you going to be enjoying your best years ever in? 🤔
❤️ Bloggin Brandi

Hi Geovanni! You’re welcome! 🙏 Thanks for watching and chiming in! I’m glad you found this one ☝️ so informative! 🤔 Have you been thinking about living in an RV park?
❤️ Bloggin Brandi
I love stationary RV living. For me it's the home base and the ability to save money towards my goals.
Regarding laundry, to me it's actually a pro to use a laundromat. I'm done with laundry in about 1.5 hours instead of spending all day doing it.
I like your thought process Brian. When I’m traveling I drop my laundry off at a laundry mat for wash n fold. But, right now stationary my Mom lives close by so I go over there 👉 😂 as the RV park I’m at doesn’t offer any washers or dryers.
💕BlogginBrandi
Yesss! As a child we would go to the laundromat and get all of the laundry for 5 siblings and two adults done in 2 hours rather than 2 weeks
so much cheaper easier to use a twin tub spinner washer in your own unit, just put it in the shower stall!
Hearing the pros and cons make me want to start rv life asap. This was very helpful and I can't wait ❤
Yay @NatashaIsraelYeke excited to hear that and glad you enjoyed this video! BTW if you’re thinking about stationary Rving I just shared my new travel trailer setup at the RV park! 👉 ruclips.net/video/z9qOPysNu50/видео.htmlsi=Db3mnyXnMQlQ9anx

Great Video! I have ended up living stationary on a lease lot. I go to my mom's that is about 30 miles away to take care of her. This is my getaway to just unwind at times. Like you say there are pros & cons. I hope to have a travel van one day for my traveling times. It does take time and watching you has made me think about things that have save me allot of troubles. Thanks again!
Yay! So glad you found this video helpful and are living out your Rv dream no matter what it maybe! Happy to be an inspiration 😘 Blogging Brandi
Thank you for the video. I love all the reasons for living in an RV park. It's exactly what I want to do. Saving on gas, wear and tear, moving a lot are all things that I'm thinking about.
Excellent info. I was considering living full time in a park model rv, but now, I'm not sure it's for me; (or that I am that kind of guy.) I'm older now, and not as physically capable as I once was. Plus, I'm retired, and there is a lot of things I just don't want to do any more. (I know how I am.) I'll still look into it, but this has made me think about specific things. (I'm not as tolerant of noisy neighbors as others might be. And I don't think I'd take care of the RV like I should.) But THANKS, it made me realize what I'd be getting into, and I'm not sure I would be a good fit for that lifestyle.
Remember, stationary is relative. That could be a year at a time or just a few months at a time. You can get monthly rates at a lot of parks. Spend a few months maybe work camping at one park, then find another work camping gig a little ways away that gives you new scenery and new things to check out on your off days. Summer up north and winter down south. That said, we had a great time wintering in the hills or NW Oregon. It was a little creepy when we got over a foot of snow and we knew there was only one other person in the entire state park. A definite "Shining" moment.
I could see that and relate to those feelings! I agree on the stationary stuff. I didn’t plan to be stationary for so long I have had lots of family issues to tend to and the pandemic all played a role in my decision. But, I love the idea workamping and did stay for 2 weeks to a month before my present situation! Thanks for all your comments & watching my video!
💕BlogginBrandi
In terms of weather... I know the rv gets cold... But living in an rv in winter time sounds so cozy and nice
Correct about less wear & tear on your RV. Great point. People don't realize as your traveling w/your RV there is a lot of flexing on the unit. Especially w/a travel trailer besides the motorhome. Continuous flexing can cause more maintenance of the weather seals around windows, roofline, ac's etc.. Especially on the lower quality RV's. A lot of them out there! Less wear & tear on a Seasonal or Full Time site RV.
I couldn’t agree with you more Neil! Most people definitely do NOT realize the benefits of Full Time RV life and the RVs. BUT it does depend on how people take care of their RVs too 🤔 I’ve seen some strange things with people do with stationary for a while and what they do NOT do! (Like maintenance 🤦♀️) Thinking back most of my problems have come while “moving” or in the process of arrivals, departures, & on the road trips! Thanks for sharing your thoughts 💭 Neil!

I’m selling my house next month and I’m definitely getting a RV now and I really appreciate your video and your ideas! Thank you 🙏🏻!
Thanks Brandi. I'm currently traveling with an RV club for full-time single RVers in my class A motorhome. I'm paying an outrageous amount of money for fuel on the road, so thinking of parking in an RV park and getting a job.
Last winter,, I workamped at an RV park and spa in southern California
from Oct 2020 to April 2021 and accumulated a ton of stuff, which I've reluctantly given away or tossed into trash even though nothing was wrong with it, I just didn't have space to carry it and still be comfortable in my RV.
TLDR: Thanks, I enjoyed and appreciated your video and have experienced some of what you discussed.
Hi 👋 Lilac! The RV club sounds fun but traveling vs staying longer at RV parks does make a difference on the bank account 💰
The spa workamping idea sounds amazing! Hopefully you took advantage of the “spa” part while you were there 🙌
And you’re right staying in one place does cause more stuff to accumulate. I’m constantly minimizing my life!
Glad you can relate & thanks for watching Lilac! 🙏

Thank you for posting an excellent video. I have a house and a class b rv. I’m considering downsizing and leasing my house and then live in my class b for about a year or two. You gave me a lot to think about and made me think twice. I need to make sure I have covered all of my bases before diving in. If I make a video on this, I’ll shout you out for certain!! You got yourself a new subbie!! 💚🦚💚🦚 stay safe 🤗🤗
My wife and I are from Canada and we are retiring in 2 years and we've had enough of winters, so we're getting an RV so we can live the snowbird lifestyle, so 6 months down south for the winter and back up home for the summer. We'll have different destinations every year but will settle in the same camp at the destination we choose for the season.
my husband and I will be forced to live in an rv while we attend courses in California. RV life isn't our 1st choice (mine was an arched cabin but could find nowhere to build it in California). We've adapted to our circumstances though and now we're really excited for stationary rv life!
hows it working
I truly understand the pros and cons. Just put your mind on positive and it will come together. (just have to wait for the right moment) Thanks for the info.

My favorite reason living in an rv park stationary, is no upstairs neighbors 😊 and being able to park our cars right outside not like an apartment
No roaches, high rent, blasting music from neighbors, ppls annoying dogs barking all day, etc. Here in Houston there are strict rules for RV parks. Apartments here are infested with bugs and ghetto ppl. RV life it is for me and my kiddo come March 🙏🏼
This was helpful, thanks. I’m about to spend 4 months at one RV park so nice to know what to expect. Thank you!

So rv living is cheaper then a house or apartment, you never have to mow your lawn unless you choose to go stationery, you can bring your house with you and travel to beautiful places anytime you want, it can be more eco friendly because if your using solar panels for power its better for the environment then your average home owner, you have less stuff and therefore have less to clean, if your moving a lot you are forced to keep things clean and tidy leaving little to no room for laziness..... This is sounding better and better by the minute...
I'm hoping you are still well. Thank you for the advice. And a lot of understanding.
This video has helped me out a lot. I will rewatch and take note. I find this cheaper than renting an apartment.
All of these Pros resonate with me I work remotely and want to adopt a dog❤❤❤❤

@@stephaniedekinger2463 OMG I'm so sorry to hear that! I'd always recommend pulling your credit report and knowing where you stand before applying for an RV. Keep in mind RVs are considered luxury items. There are ways to get approved even with bad credit. It also depends on the RV price, your downpayment, the bank etc... I was turned down for my Motorhome by a few banks until one approved me. And that was with STELLAR credit!!! The dealership and your relationship with the bank/financing company play a role. What you put on the application or how things are worded, plus So much more and too much to text here.

Omg I am just starting out on the research part of rving stationary. I feel so lucky to have found you because I KNOW NOTHING. It’ll be me and my mom. I am 50 and my mom is 70. We are on a very limited income however we have a lot of equity in our home that we are going to sell and take the profits and buy an rv. I’m a nervous wreck but tired of worrying about if I’ll have enough money to live each month.
so what did u do?
@@Lauren-vd4qe we are in process of selling our home now. Just got it under contract:)
@@The_GingerFiles oh good. what area do u live in? if u get snow in winter, u will have to hurry this up in order to drive/tow the rv south for the winter, otherwise all your rv plumbing will freeze n break.

You covered a lot of detail that most do not cover, like noisy neighbors. Everyone is crammed in like sardines at RV parks and there is no privacy.
That's not always true. My park is heavily treed and the spaces are large. Large enough to keep two cars on your lot. Noise is kept at a minimum. Quiet time is no noise after 9 pm.
Depends on which one. Here in Katy TX they are sooooo nice. Quiet, clean, noise ordinance, strict rules, etc. Pools, jacuzzi’s, and all under 650mo.
An rv park is convenient. We will live winters in Louisiana to be close to family. We will spend summers in New Mexico because we want to be away from hurricanes.
beware; the roads in NM are the WORST in the country for towing any RV...
Very helpful! Thank you sooo much!
We are considering living in a “kid hauler” full time. We have 4 kids and plan on being stationary during the school year to give them some normalcy than travel when they have long weekends and during the summer.

We currently live stationary in an rv park. We have full hook ups and we do have laundry on site and our garbage gets picked up. My husband has a job 20 minutes away and my son has a summer job 5 minutes away. There isn't anymore weekend warriors in this park. The park is strictly full timers. Not sure if we will stay here for more than a year. We do want to do some traveling and are just needing to be wise about when and how long we're gone.

Most of the cons weren’t necessarily cons because you would have the same problems if you lived in a normal house or apartment or based off personal preference it was about 2 solid cons that she mentioned (maintenance to a certain extent and weather conditions) so the pros outweigh the cons I feel like it’s more about finding a good rv park location that works for you

Would it be crazy to live in one for your whole life? As in like you never have to move and you just purchase a spot like you mentioned in the video.
My God I heard of these RVS being SUPER expensive to live in especially traveling in one but by you saying that these systems break down without even being used that takes it to a whole different level there wow
Thank you for the fantastic video, please keep on posting!!! :D
what about putting a carpot cover over your rv? Is that allowed? If so, it would preserve the roof on your rv
Hi @scottvickery2057 it depends on the RV Park. Some allow them, but you have to pay for it and leave them if you depart. Some already have them pre-built. All depends on the "rv park owner" I would say see what others are doing. Mine just had to be "portable or removable" but You can see my latest Stationary set-up and car port (not big enough for an RV you'll see) 👉 ruclips.net/video/rAzS9gu0MUY/видео.html I hope this helps! ❤ @BloggingBrandi
We’re full time we don’t move people are nice have 1 couple that’s not nice but we don’t fret them we have done this years ago for 4 years & now we’re back at again loving it we’re on fixed income we can’t afford a house or high rent
Home base is nice we have a small camper we use to local travel for camping it’s the lifestyle we can afford to do…❤
This was very informative. Thank you for sharing.
To me, being stationary in an RV defeats the purpose of being in an RV. In some areas you could easily buy a house for the same or less than what you paid for the camper. And the house goes up in value. If I were stationary, I would go for a mobile home and have more space that’s better built.
Cost and flexibility is more important for some
Most people's fear of RVing is safety. Mine is what kind of neighbors do I have to deal with. Do you have any recommendations what to look for before you land somewhere to avoid horrible neighbors as much as possible?
go to several rv parks and ask the residents, the long term ones will tell you what u want to know, readily.
this is my fear too!
How frequently do you flush and sanitize your water system? You don't want to just sit around long term with your tank full and should sanitize the system at least annually.
Hi Brian & Thanks for watching! I dump every few days or so. Never leave my lines open. I sanitize more often annually. Weekly or monthly whatever I feel is necessary.

7 years in a 5th wheel and i l-ove it. Would never go stix and brix
It is FAR overrated and as far as investment if you suck out expenses and interest and expenses, you dont make that much on appreciation

Is part of the cost based on the location in the park? The best would be workcamp in one park year-round or at least work seasonal and staying put.
Ah, ever heard of depreciating assets though? So unless you tell me your RV is worth more after 5 years than you bought it, you have still less than a mortgage towards a house that cyclically will be worth more over time.
Hi @vtr-vegasteslarides569 🙋♀️ Thanks for watching and chiming in! YES normally I'd say RVs are depreciating assets especially a new one. BUT, there was a HUGE shift over the past few years that did allow A LOT of people (including me) to SELL their RVs for MORE $$$ than they paid for! Supply & Demand. I think it all depends on people's reason for RV Living especially Stationary in an RV Park. Paying for an apartment doesn't add any value to your portfolio either. Same with a mortgage it all only works out as planned if you pay it down, get the right loan terms, etc... WHY are you thinking about "Stationary RV Living" and buying an RV?

lower monthly rent. I manage the park so I get FSHU and WiFi. The drawback is a lack of freedom and I am 71 so I am retiring and looking for another park to be in fulltime then leave every winter for the sunbelt.
This might be a silly question, but I've never lived in an RV. When you say you haven't moved it for a year, does that mean you can drain the water and stuff like that from your parked spot? Or do you have to drive it to another water hook up place on the property? Thanks!
Hi Emily! Thanks for watching and that's not a silly question! We all have to start somewhere. NO I NEVER have to move my RV. Hooking up at an RV Park with "Full Hook Ups" means you have all you're utilities there Water, Sewer, Electric... The ONLY thing I have to go get or have filled is my propane.

Question: how long can you keep an rv parked before the elements/moisture starts to ruin everything? Wouldn't you have to buy a newer one every 6 or 7 years? Sitting in one spot, wouldn't that wreck the tires? Thanks
Hi Karen! Great question 🙋♀️ even while the RV is parked I still reseal the roof! Wash the RV. My tires are covered, and the tires are also coated with a film that helps protect them. The stabilizer jacks are down and that helps relieve some pressure off the tires also we have installed some jacks under the slides to help with stability. Tires are replaceable! They’re just regular tires 🛞 also if we ever move our RVs we have an air compressor - always check the pressure before moving. I made some more videos about my rv park life you can watch below! Thanks for watching and asking! 🙏

All the RV parks around me seem to want people who don’t live in their Rv….. just vacationers. The ones that I’ve visited all have clauses that say no more than 150-180 days consecutive or whatever. That has been a real problem and I’d love if anyone knows any way around that? Maybe? Or maybe I’m just in a bad area (Delaware).
Hi Christina! And thanks for watching :) sooo my 1st ? - How do they know how long you’re staying? Why not leave or go on vacation (go to work) pretend whatever for a few days, a week etc…??? Also another thing an RV park owner suggested to me once was rent the spot in my name for the maximum amount of days per that area etc and then switch it to my spouse, partner, friend, mom, dog, cat imaginary friend ya know :) hope this helps haha 😂

How hard is it for you to find glasses that you can see out of?
Hi Brad! 👋 I have to buy kids sizes 🤓 but love my Zenni’s by #ZenniOptical they have alllllll sizes!
- @BloggingBrandi
All vehicles are not assets. They depreciate. But maybe I misunderstood you.
What about Block or park parties? Friendly neighbors, hook ups in the park, being ‘friends’ with several in the park?
Where are you stationed? I would love to be stationed in Florida but it seems too expensive.
Hi 👋 thanks for watching and chiming in! Florida has tons of RV parks all different prices. You’ll save a lot when paying to stay long term in an Rv park vs short term overnight/weekly parking. Rates also change depending on the season in some cases. Either way I just shared my new stationary RV setup with all the details here 👉 ruclips.net/video/z9qOPysNu50/видео.htmlsi=QUQaiAad-2xBAdYW

Do they offer free parking for your car?
Hi @Studmuffin00 thanks for watching and chiming in! Depends on the RV Park! Some that I've been to only allow one vehicle at your spot and make you park the other in a different area, like for visitors, etc., but some will let you park 1, 2, 3 cars as long as they all fit in your space. I personally haven't been charged for parking my car at my RV. So YES for me it's always been free! 🙋♀️ -- @BloggingBrandi

It sounds crazy but I'm really thinking of living in one for 3-5 years and save 100k plus in that time....my granny is cool with us putting one on their concrete slab they have at their home
you need full hookups, water coming into the trailer; sufficient power coming into the rv, and a secure sewer hookup or septic tank nearby. dont try it without these things.
@@Lauren-vd4qe oh yeah definitely planned for that! Lol
Hey Ryan, so I’ve been watching a few ( ok, lots) of RV’ers episodes and I saw on “Big Truck, Big Travels” that there might be of interest to y’all about the issue you have at the (drop down) area at the front. On their 5th wheel (which they had custom built) there is a large gusset on each side. Don’t know if it’s something that would work for you but I thought I’d send this to you. How can I send you pictures?
You are mistaken or mispresenting many points.

Cheap rent so I can spend money on nice things and save
Hi @RealBadKompany 🙋♀️ YES the rent is usually cheaper when living Stationary in your RV and leaves you with extra money to buy nicer things! Love the way you think about that! Thanks for watching!

Hey there, I've been thinking a lot about stationary RV living for a while and one of my biggest questions is how well the slides hold up. If I plan to be stationary (and I mean really stationary, as in rarely if ever moving the RV once it's placed) it would be nice to keep the slides open as much as possible for the extra room. They wouldn't be getting bounced around from driving and I could always put some kind of tarps and weather sealant on them, or at least that's what I figure. Do you or any of the other RV lifers that you know keep their slides open more or less year round?
Most guys get an awning for the slides if you’re gonna leave it out full-time
@@Ray96744 Is that safe for the slide and the home itself though? I'm assuming that the slides aren't meant to spend months or years left open but I wouldn't know.
theres a video on yt shows a gal that uses that wavy style plastic sheeting on top of her slides (hold in place with a rock) it drains the water off very easily; much cheaper than slider awnings and no leaks!
Your channel looks fun! Just found you from Instagram 👍🏼

Wait wait wait just a min! Lol did you just say that these Super Expensive depreciating vehicle homes don't actually keep you cool or warm ? My god that is a deal breaker for about 98% of people who wants to live in a box with no AC because you just basically said it doesn't cool your rv enough meaning its uncomfortable, wow
