We've been living fulltime and offgrid for 8 years and 4 months. We never pay for a place to BE and I maintain we *never* will! Our water consumption is closer to 50 gallons a week and we carry a 50-gallon drum on our truck 24/7. If we go to town for any other reason, we fill up that drum while we're there and transfer to our house tank as needed. Here at our compound at The Slabs (3 miles east of Niland, CA), we discharge our graywater immediately to the nearby landscape. For blackwater, I built my own "gopher hole" using a plastic trash can (holes in the bottom) and some concrete around it to keep the sand from imploding on the plastic can. We have a 4" ABS riser (sewer slinky fits inside) so we can unscrew the plug and dump our tank = easy breezy. :) For the summer months we migrate north and west to higher elevations and boondock for FREE in various places. In this ways, we spend very little for heat and zero for air conditioning. :) Learn more at our FB group = Extreme Low Budget RV Living. :)
We purchased an acre of land 20 yrs ago and have parked an rv on it all that time. We had electric ran in from the road and put in a well. We aren't allowed septic so have to use a tote and dump at the campground 1/2 mile away. When we want travel we hook up and travel. Over the years the local town has threatened to outlaw the use of rv's. But so far we have been lucky it never passes. Lately it had become more of a common practice to park an rv on land as a home base. We purchased a truck camper 6 years ago and use that for traveling around the country now instead of our 38 ft jayco destination trailer. We even put up one of those intex swimming pools on our land. The lake isn't far either to take the boat out on. Thanks for your video's. They are always informative and interesting.
And thank you for your kind words. I am glad you are enjoying the videos. Sunds like you have a good setup on your land. You are so right that you definitely have to do your research before buying. Lots of things to think about. Thanks for watching.
Be very careful with land purchases such as this. Many people find clouds (errors) on the title as the “developers” from another state often don’t dot their “i’s” and cross their “t’s” when cutting it up to sell. Years later an owner of such a postage stamp type property in the wilderness finds either someone else claiming ownership or a local government entity claims past unpaid taxes, etc. I wish them well. In my view they are living a harder life than they present. Hauling 275 gallons of water per week is no easy task, for instance.
Yes, very good point, Don, I even put a disclaimer in the description by the property links. I don't think the water getting process is too bad. They use the 65 gallon tank and a pump to get it to the 275 gallon one, which is stationary. Thanks so much for watching and commenting! See you in the next one.
People need to be creative these days, and this is a good option, especially for folks who don’t have a million dollars to retire on. I like the privacy and the familiarity of this way of living, they always know their final destination. I wish them well!
Don, your statements are absolutely correct. Purposely omitted terms from these type of land contracts are just as alive today as they were in the 60’s & 70’s, in the heyday of absentee land deals in the western states primarily. Also agree on the water hauling. I’m 70 yrs and I have done that water hauling in the early days of my vacation prop on San Juan island and I’m not interested in ever doing that again, significant work!
I agree with what Don says , most townships have rules and regulations on what you can and can’t do . Dwellings on property such as RV’s , mobile homes , septic allowed whether a permanent dwelling versus RV. One may get by for a short time until local authorities check up on your property.
In Canada, land is way more expensive but we managed to find a 100x100 lot about 50 minutes away from the city in a small village where we can leave our 42' RV with all the amenities but it's our land. We are retiring in 2023 so will be living there in the summers and hopefully find cheap land in Florida for the winter. We are stationary so we would have to find another smaller RV to leave on our eventual piece of land in Florida. We are very early 60's so this would be our lives for at least 15 years hopefully, it this crazy world doesn't come to an end before! Thanks for another great video Liz and hope to meet you one day! 🌹
Thanks so much, Marcia! Not for me either but I am definitely fascinated with people who live like this. Glad to have you here and see you in the next video.
I would not seek out this kind of lifestyle at my age but it's good to know that there are others who are succeeding. Thanks Liz for your investigative reporting. You are an excellent investigative journalist. You have a gift.
I would love to purchase an acre or so to live full time in my RV. Personally I would invest in a well and septic system. The solar setup seems perfect. An acre seems excessive but it allows for a garden! Safe Travels Liz!
When I go sailing, I guess we also have wilderness when we are totally off the grid and enjoy that life away from everything until a yearning for civilization, a hot shower etc just like when you pull in campgrounds! The two lives are so similar! I had not stoped to think of it! Thank you for sharing with us!
I live off grid here in AZ. Though not in an RV but a double wide mobile home now. I have 10 acres with a well. My well water is pumped in to a 500 gal tank by solar. My pressure pump (large 12 volt RV pump) pulls it out of the tank and pressurizes the house. I currently have 2000 watts of solar and it charges my battery's daily to run through a inverter to 120 volts. I have a 100 gallon propane tank which I fill about once a year to run the house furnace, instant hot water heater and stove. I am never short of power except summer when I run AC here. I am planning to double my solar to 4000 watts that way I can use electric heat to heat the house in the winter during the day and run AC during summer. My foot print is larger than a RV but the process is all the same. I just don't like living in my motorhomes (yes I have 2) full time. I have one here and one in WA state where I spend the summers . I live 4 miles from town so not isolated.
My wife and I are from Wenatchee, WA but live in Phx where I own and operate a small business. Where or what region of WA did you setup at for the summer and here in AZ for the winter? We are trying to work out a plan and figure out the resources necessary to live off grid into our retirement age. Alan, your response and guidance will be helpful and appreciated.
@@duanehevly I have a house on 5 acres in Battle Ground WA which we have lived there for 20+ years. I want to sell my WA house as it is expensive to live there, but battling my wife over it. In AZ I live in Bouse as it costs me almost nothing in taxes and I have no utility bills. I would live here year round but wife hates the desert. She stays in WA and I spend 9 months in AZ. I have health issues to where I can't deal with the wet and cold weather so I leave WA. Here in AZ there is plenty of sun to make power and now solar is affordable.
Wow, it sounds like you have a good setup Alan and have thought of everything. You have simplified off grid living to make it as effortless as possible. Thanks so much for sharing!
Liz. Very interesting story about owning your own property to park your RV. I think this is probably a great option for a lot of RV'ers. Personally, I prefer community over isolation. That's what makes the world go round, we are all different. Give me campgrounds and RV parks that provide an opportunity to connect with others that share a similar passion to be outdoors.
I am sticking to SUV camping. I am still limber enough to climb in and out. I didn’t bother to take backseat out to add platform; just pushing the seatbacks down.
That's an easy way to do it, Jen. I car camped in an SUV for a couple weeks and found it pretty fun. I discovered my Pathfinder even had cup holders in the way back! Thanks for watching!
Personally I have Thousand Trails sure you have to plan ahead. I'm not wanting to hand dig my own septic system. I have worked hard all my life just my 43 ' Tiffin is about as hard and I want to live. But if it works for you go for it 1
Hi Theresa, I think they just relax and enjoy life as well as enjoy their pets. Plus the off grid life is a bit more hands on so I'm sure he's always checking the inverter, cleaning off the solar panels, that sort of thing. I met them at their place in Florida but know them originally from being on the A-Team (subscribers to this channel). Thanks for being here!
That sounds awesome! I would do that in a heartbeat. Would my wife want to do that? NOPE! So here we stay, waiting for the next blizzard to hit Buffalo.
Yep!!! It can be like that. Off grid living is not for me either, but definitely interesting to think about. Thanks for watching, Warren and keep warm. I wasn't too far from you when I was at Four Mile SP this past summer, such a great area with endless things to do.
I've always thought it would be fun to have a few places like this, but only to live maybe a month at a time at. I know Wendy could not handle the remoteness full-time. But what stopped me from even considering it seriously is that I was under the impression that there were very few places (that weren't super-remote) where you were allowed to camp on your land.
It sounds like there are plenty of places where you can indeed camp on your land. Definitely do the research bc you want to be sure that you can live there in an RV, are not pressured to build, and a host of other things to research. It's interesting that people live like this. Certainly cost effective and they never have to worry about needing to make a reservation. Thansk for watching Jeff!
I have have 5 acres in eastern Idaho with a beautiful view of the Tetons. I think I want to put an RV pad on my lot . I live in western Idaho. I can hardly wait to get there
Hi lady...😺🙋♀️🙋♂️.. This couple seems to have worked at all out.... It's good information... We are not full time so we are still in our home... When we get 3 pennies together we try to plan a trip and then go enjoy ourselves.... Stay safe where you are... Thanks for the video..J&A
Liz, Thanks for the land links! I have two acres in Tonopah, AZ with well and septic, but I've got the itch to move somewhere else, so I'll check out the links.
Interesting for maybe when we're at the stage in life of taking a lot of naps. Maybe for someone who works on a computer full time. Seems maybe lonely??? Good idea though if you need a home base in a pinch and just change with the weather. I think to keep getting the hubby out there with me it'll still be seeing the sights and traveling. Just recently got him out for a 10 day trip and he loved it. Working up to 2 weeks. BTW, you looked very pretty today so single life must be going well.
Awww, thanks so much! Great to see you here as always. Naps!!! Yes, while I am interested in the many ways people are doing this life, I do like staying in campgrounds. Thanks for watching.
Liz, Me and my brother are doing something similar. We are currently looking for property in New Mexico, Arkansas, Idaho, Texas. Our plan is to purchase small to 1 acre sites. And develop the too. Have a couple of RV pads on the with full hookups. He is the Senior Building official in his local city. So we know about building codes and covenants and restrictions. The big thing is allways purchase through a title insurance company, also check with the county so you know the codes and restrictions. And make sure you have access to the property. Don't buy a piece of landlocked and have no access. We like the high desert and trees. We currently have complete plans for off grid power supply. You can also find out what your water depth is by contacting the US Geological Survey division. Safe travels and roads Brian and Cindy, "xtreambydesign with passion"
Hi Brian and Cindy. I didn't know you were looking at doing something like that, how cool! Yes, you definitely have to do your homework to make sure the codes will let you do what you want. Keep me posted, and thanks for watching!
Liz that is what we are going to do . First six months we will be living in northern WI , we have 1 acre property with electric . Water is 2 miles away , but we have a above ground 250 gallon waste tank which will be pumped . Winter home is the same in Mayo Florida.😀
Thanjs. Gave me ideas of how to live where i am without water. I have given up on trying to get water. It is time to figure out how to turn my cabin into RV life. If RVs can run a washer, how can i get my washer to work without well water. I gave barrels of nearly frozen water on my porch. I need a better way. I do not think i can go solar because no sun in winter, but that water and composting toilet might work, but i heard they are pricey. Thanks, Liz! Great new ideas.
Thank you, glad to have you here. Yes, those Nature Head toilets are about $1000. Charlotte just texted me a link to a better and cheaper toilet that came out after they purchased theirs. A link is in the description. And thanks for watching.
Interesting concept Being from Canada we have been looking at the west for something along these lines. We will research more now that you have brought it to our attention. Thanks so much‼️
Thanks Rob. There are some cheap land links in the description. Be sure to do your research as there are a lot of scams out there. And, of course, check the codes for the proparty. Happy land shopping!
Thanks for the great video. i own a piece of land in florida with a double wide on it. i might sell out when i hit the road in my RV. and buy a piece of land like in this video. I,ll keep watching and learn all i can.
Thanks so very much. I put some helpful links in the description. Do be VERY careful when land shopping. Make sure you check and double check that you can do exactly what you intend on it.
That's a great idea something I'll keep in the back of my mind for the future. Thank you so much, great video. Till next week live happy and be safe. 👍💖🕊
Now the RV community will be able to purchase Air to Water generators for your motorhome. Watergen has a system that living vehicle will be incorporating into their new models.
I checked out the Watergen stuff. Their RV/mobile unit will do up to 13.2 gallons per day. This guy would need more than that - maybe one of the bigger non-mobile options Watergen offers.
that's some very expensive water, the technology isn't new, all they are is a dehumidifier which is nothing more than a portable air conditioner were the evaporator and condenser are in the same room, these water generators just collect the condensate. they cost as much to run as a big RV air conditioner and don't work well in dry climates
Liz to me camp grounds in many places are way to crowded and sites so close together. I like the boon docking and this is a great idea. Great video and looks like you are doing well. Very happy for you.
Did he give you any of the bottom line costs of each location? I am looking for the total cost of everything he has purchased. For just one example, The water may not be any cost to him but going and getting it does, fuel and everything associated with the vehicle. The container for hauling cost him to purchase, probably. And I’m sure there are other things I haven’t thought about with water. Like sanitizing, filter for drinking water. The reason I mentioned drinking water I purchased a ProOne filter system and got away from buying bottled water. It will eventually pay for itself butt I will need another filter in 8 months which adds to the cost.
Good points. I put links to a lot of what he is using including the water tanks, which are not cheap. I'm sure the fuel costs are subjective depending on changing costs of fuel, plus what his vehicle is, how he drives, etc. Thanks for watching.
Hubs and I really don’t like campgrounds- exception of some state park and COE sites. We have explored just this idea. Thanks for the vid…we will definitely checkout CO sites!
You would have trouble with the local authorities in Australia if you tried to do this, especially anywhere close to a town. Some try to live in a caravan while building a house, but the easiest way to be allowed, is to build a shed with toilet, shower and septic system first. The yearly taxes (we call them rates) would be around $1000, and the initial purchase way more than what you quoted, you would be extremely lucky to find a very isolated small piece of land for $20,000. A good idea to move between 2 climates, it would work in Australia too, just cost a lot more, and I would like to be closer to a small town.
Good point, Catherine. Even here in the states you have to do a lot of research to make sure the local government allow off-grid living. And then to make sure they allow living in an RV, leech lines, etc. Thanks for watching.
This is way hardcore for me. I guess they should enjoy it as long as they can. The isolation and the heat would make me miserable. I know how hot it is out there in the palmetto fans and pine thickets. Especially after a sudden rain. It gets like a sauna in Florida after a rain. They my home state.
Very interesting video Liz, It's cool that they were able to find property in Florida with very little deed restrictions, but I question the $20 taxes, better add another 0 to that. Seems like he could of put in shallow well and stop the need for hauling water. We also have a setup something like this, we have a condo on the water in Key Largo, Florida that is our winter residents and we have 2.76 acres in Southern Alabama that is our summer residents. This property sits on a 800 acre private lake and has no deed restrictions and is totally off grid. There was a well and septic system all ready in place when we bought the property so that saved some money. We're running 4000 watts of solar that more than covers our needs, but also have a few gas generators as backups. We cook on propane as well the hot water system is a propane setup. We're living in a 24 foot camper trailer with a slide-out plus we added a screened in room the whole length of the trailer. We also added two fairly good size storage sheds. It's not perfect, but it's home. The 6 months were away from our condo in Key Largo, we keep it rented out as a weekly vacation rental at $5000 a week. It amazes me that people are willing to pay that much for a vacation in the Florida Keys, but we are not complaining......
Wow, it sounds like you have a great setup year round!! Alabama has SO much to do and I love Key Largo! That's awesome you can get $5k a week for it. And I have no idea about the $20 a year in property taxes. It might be the way the land is zoned. The Florida property cannot be built on and is too small of a road frontage to even get mail. Thanks for watching and enjoy the Keys!
Me, too! I think with the way they travel they avoid the heat for the most part. But they definitely have to stay on top of their electricity and water usage for sure. I'm always interested in the many ways people choose to do RV life. Thanks for watching!
I've been wanting to buy RV land in Florida. I'm interested in only 3-4 months out of the year and don't really want to rough it like in this video. I prefer a mixed area, where I can still get electric, sewer or septic tank, water and paved road. I don't really want an HOA due to the cost but would consider it if the monthly fee was low.
I always enjoy your videos you’re subscribers looks like they have increased. Got to get you up to 100,000 get one of those fancy plaques wishing you the best, my dear
Hi Liz, We like off grid and campgrounds....we also like to go to different places ..not a fan of the 2 toilet setup...not sure that is really that hygenic
I have been thinking about something very similar. We have a home in the city, but would like to buy some land up north to escape the heat in the summer. I think this would work for shot stents Thank you.
There really are so many benefits. You own the land and never have to worry about reservations. Definitely do your research because you wanna make sure that the laws allow the land to do with it what you intend. Thanks for watching.
Wow what a great review! I am in a position and ready to buy land. Been looking for a while. I like this “set-up”. Thanks and I will be looking with those links you posted Thanks Liz, and Happy Trails Michelle in Greenville…
Hi Michelle, so glad you found this interesting. Their property is probably not that far from Greenville, about 90 minutes east of you. Those links will show you what's available now. Happy land shopping! And, as always, do your research to be sure the property can be used as you intend.
In ELKO Nv you can live in. A Rv. On your land any more. But you can stay a few week with their ok but you must go to ELKO and talk to them firsthand. A must!, lots of rules in ELKO and wells, Montello all so . Ck befor you buy or you will get big fines for not fallowing the rules out here.
Not exactly my lifestyle. I certainly would not criticize this person’s lifestyle because if this country should go into a recession or depression this guy is going to find a way to survive. Good video.
Waoooo I live in Florida and never found a land for that price ,in Leesburg land are very high in price I was looking a land with a a Lil more than 1/2 acres and thay was asking $99.000 with a a mobile home on it, but the mobile home we have to fixed because was trash, Good video with the best info 👍 thank you mss Liz.
You absolutely cannot compare land prices between Lake County where you live to what I believe is Putnam County Florida! Putnam County has the unique position as the poorest county in Florida! It's in North Florida below Jacksonville, one county away from the Atlantic. Land there is still pretty cheap because it's so ugly! This type of land is called "scrub" land and I'm sure you can see why. Personally it's too bleak looking for me but they appear to have everything they need to winter here and that's what counts.
In NV their are rules for you dumping on your land? In my Nv land I must have a free standing poop to go to a tank then have it pumped out. But living out here on my 650 Ac for shure .power is only by solar and wind. To bring power is over 650,00 for lines to your land? So wind and solar are the best way only.
Unfortunately Liz you have struck a nerve with some people who deplore off grid living. This attitude runs thru many RUclips channels. To the point of over whelming harassment.I love the small off grid lots/acreage we can afford and enjoy. Good luck on this chapter.
Thanks Matt, I was wondering what was up. I had no idea people had such strong feelings against off grid living. I did the video bc I am fascinated by all the ways people can do RV life. Thanks again and see you in the next video!
I agree Adrian, I am the same way. They only get about 10 days twice a year to explore. But that's their choice, they could always use their property less and travel more.
You really are branching out 😄. This guy is exactly why our property in Texas came with a deed restriction prohibiting permanent manufactured housing, mobile homes and/or RV trailers AND I was completely ok with it. Would you want to own the lot next to this guy?
I am fascinated with all the ways people do this life. As Scott said in the video, his neighbors in Florida are all traveling RVers. But I get your point. Thanks for watching and see you in the next video.
You can if you have enough solar and enough sunny days. People I've met camping in Quartzsite with plenty of solar say they run their generators less than a day a month. Thanks for watching.
Glad it works for then but not the type of lifestyle I would want. I also have a sticks & bricks that I spend 4 to 5 months a year at. While I'm gone I mostly boon-dock or use dispersed camping on the national forest. I prefer to travel so staying put on a tiny piece of land doesn't appeal to me.
Gotta ask if they have it zoned that way or does it even matter. I know if you live that way for a long time, they can’t do anything about it later in time.
They did a lot of research, I think two years. There are a lot of hurdles to make sure it fits within zoning. Not just off grid living and all that entails but also the legality of living in an RV. Thanks for watching and see you in the next video, Mike!
You have to be very careful buying land because there are laws from county or states that will not allow you to park a rv on the lot without having a permanent building (house) on the property.
Right you are! I even put a big disclaimer with the land links. You definitely have to make sure you can use the lot as you intend. Thanks for your comment, and for watching.
I am looking for something exactly like this where is that land located at I've been searching and it's hard to find can anybody please give me information
I put some links in the description and you can do a Google search. Be sure to read my notes in the description as BUYER BEWARE for sure. Thanks for watching and happy searching.
Yes indeed. I put in a detailed disclaimer about doing your own research in the description under the links to cheap land. Thanks for stating this. It can't be said enough!
Please I am going to these links ! Ty so much ! This is my dream! Please though what ends of Florida is land possibly not as expensive as others cause it can be very high in most areas I’ve found! And again i will be staying on these sites ! However if you have any advice please! I’m disabled and limited on my income but this is a way that over time can pay off gods will !
Hi Tonya, glad you enjoyed the video. Be sure to read the disclosure with the links. And do your research to be sure the land can be used as you intended. Thanks and see you in the next video.
Okay Liz, are you reading my mind? LOL Last week you reminded me to get my tires checked. This week you are talking about cheap land. I have been online looking at land in Elko NV. I mean I was probably looking at neighboring lots next to this guy. It does two things, if I have land there then I can domicile in NV who has no income tax. My kids and family are all in California, but I can't live in California because of asthma and fire season. Also, summer in NorCal is in the 100s. YUCK! Nevada therefore will be a general state that I will be passing through all the time, so even if I decided to not spend one summer there, I would be passing through, and could spend some time in the state. That way, Georgia and California can't claim I owe them taxes on my income, because I will be returning to my domicile state regularly. That can be a thing, a Michigan couple was domiciling in SD and Michigan sued them and the couple lost and had to pay 3 years of income taxes to Michigan because the only time they were in SD was when they got their licenses. Therefore, Michigan was able to state that they were still Michigan residents. Now I realize that is probably a rare case and that this couple must have had a huge income, such that Michigan wanted to keep getting their taxes. But being autistic I must do things correctly. So, Texas was out, and Florida and South Dakota because I didn't want to HAVE TO return to those states every year. Honestly, Florida was out because the vehicle insurance in Florida would be outrageous. SD is just too far away on years I don't want to travel a bunch. I am autistic, so there will be years I don't want to. Also, by having land like that then I can have friends come to see me who are FT RVrs and hang out. I over analyze everything, but that is my autism. I also research every topic down into the tiniest details to make sure I won't have any surprises. Yep, my fun on travel days must be planned in, because I can't just decide to get off a highway to see some small fun thing to see.
You are so right to be thinking about all this, especially income tax ramifications. Good for you. And if I am reading your mind, lol, well I am trying to come up with a good video idea for next time. What's on YOUR mind? And thanks for being here!
Some state & local governments won’t allow you to do this. People need to do their do diligence and check everything out or it’ll bite them backside, could loose everything.
Absolutely. Thanks for posting this James. I put a big disclaimer by the cheap land links but people need to see comments like yours as well. Buyer beware for sure! Thanks for watching.
We've been living fulltime and offgrid for 8 years and 4 months. We never pay for a place to BE and I maintain we *never* will! Our water consumption is closer to 50 gallons a week and we carry a 50-gallon drum on our truck 24/7. If we go to town for any other reason, we fill up that drum while we're there and transfer to our house tank as needed. Here at our compound at The Slabs (3 miles east of Niland, CA), we discharge our graywater immediately to the nearby landscape. For blackwater, I built my own "gopher hole" using a plastic trash can (holes in the bottom) and some concrete around it to keep the sand from imploding on the plastic can. We have a 4" ABS riser (sewer slinky fits inside) so we can unscrew the plug and dump our tank = easy breezy. :)
For the summer months we migrate north and west to higher elevations and boondock for FREE in various places. In this ways, we spend very little for heat and zero for air conditioning. :) Learn more at our FB group = Extreme Low Budget RV Living. :)
Ooh!! Thank you so much for sharing this! Sounds like you are living life on your terms! Enjoy!
We purchased an acre of land 20 yrs ago and have parked an rv on it all that time. We had electric ran in from the road and put in a well. We aren't allowed septic so have to use a tote and dump at the campground 1/2 mile away. When

And thank you for your kind words. I am glad you are enjoying the videos. Sunds like you have a good setup on your land. You are so right that you definitely have to do your research before buying. Lots of things to think about. Thanks for watching.
Be very careful with land purchases such as this.

Years later an owner of such a postage stamp type property in the wilderness finds either someone else claiming ownership or a local government entity claims past unpaid taxes, etc. I wish them well. In my view they are living a harder life than they present. Hauling 275 gallons of water per week is no easy task, for instance.
Yes, very good point, Don, I even put a disclaimer in the description by the property links. I don't think the water getting process is too bad. They use the 65 gallon tank and a pump to get it to the 275 gallon one, which is stationary. Thanks so much for watching and commenting! See you in the next one.
People need to be creative these days, and this is a good option, especially for folks who don’t have a million dollars to retire on. I like the privacy and the familiarity of this way of living, they always know their final destination. I wish them well!
Don, your statements are absolutely correct. Purposely omitted terms from these type of land contracts are just as alive today as they were in the 60’s & 70’s, in the heyday of absentee land deals in the western states primarily.
Also agree on the water hauling. I’m 70 yrs and I have done that water hauling in the early days of my vacation prop on San Juan island and I’m not interested in ever doing that again, significant work!
I agree with what Don says , most townships have rules and regulations on what you can and can’t do . Dwellings on property such as RV’s , mobile homes , septic allowed whether a permanent dwelling versus RV. One may get by for a short time until local authorities check up on your property.
Beware in Florida as there are only a few counties where you can live off grid in a camper.
In Canada, land is way more expensive but we managed to find a 100x100 lot about 50 minutes away from the city in a small village where we can leave our 42' RV with all the amenities but it's our land. We are retiring in 2023 so will be living there in the summers and hopefully find cheap land in Florida for the winter. We are stationary so we would have to find another smaller RV to leave on our eventual piece of land in Florida. We are very early 60's so this would be our lives for at least 15 years hopefully, it this crazy world doesn't come to an end before! Thanks for another great video Liz and hope to meet you one day! 🌹
Hi Daniel. Sounds like you are on the right track. Thanks for watching and looking forward to seeing you on the road as well!
hi Daniel, thats good, where in canada.
Not for me but thanks for sharing their experiences. You are one great gal, Liz!
Thanks so much, Marcia! Not for me either but I am definitely fascinated with people who live like this. Glad to have you here and see you in the next video.
Nope. Not for me. I'd be okay for a few weeks, but not longer. I'm by myself. I'd go completely insane.
I would not seek out this kind of lifestyle at my age but it's good to know that there are others who are succeeding. Thanks Liz for your investigative reporting. You are an excellent investigative journalist. You have a gift.
Aww, thanks so much Joanie! Glad you enjoyed this video! See you in the next one!
I love living off grid like that, I've been doing it for years now. There's nothing like living off grid . I love it
I would love to purchase an acre or so to live full time in my RV. Personally I would invest in a well and septic system. The solar setup seems perfect. An acre seems excessive but it allows for a garden! Safe Travels Liz!
Thanks, so glad you enjoyed this video! See you in the next one, and have a great weekend.
OH gosh Liz, I loved this vid. He was totally honest about the "Man Throne". They have a nice set up for their lifestyle. TY for sharing.
Yay, so glad you liked it. It was a fun video to make for sure!!!
When I go sailing, I guess we also have wilderness when we are totally off the grid and enjoy that life away from everything until a yearning for civilization, a hot shower etc just like when you pull in campgrounds! The two lives are so similar! I had not stoped to think of it! Thank you for sharing with us!
So true, Bernard. Thanks for your insight and for watching. See you in the next video.
I live off grid here in AZ. Though not in an RV but a double wide mobile home now. I have 10 acres with a well. My well water is pumped in to a 500 gal tank by solar. My pressure pump (large 12 volt RV pump) pulls it out of the tank and pressurizes the house. I currently have 2000 watts of solar and it charges my battery's daily to run through a inverter to 120 volts. I have a 100 gallon propane tank which I fill about once a year to run the house furnace, instant hot water heater and stove. I am never short of power except summer when I run AC here. I am planning to double my solar to 4000 watts that way I can use electric heat to heat the house in the winter during the day and run AC during summer. My foot print is larger than a RV but the process is all the same. I just don't like living in my motorhomes (yes I have 2) full time. I have one here and one in WA state where I spend the summers . I live 4 miles from town so not isolated.
I hope Liz can visit and interview you :)
My wife and I are from Wenatchee, WA but live in Phx where I own and operate a small business.
Where or what region of WA did you setup at for the summer and here in AZ for the winter?
We are trying to work out a plan and figure out the resources necessary to live off grid into our retirement age.
Alan, your response and guidance will be helpful and appreciated.
@@duanehevly I have a house on 5 acres in Battle Ground WA which we have lived there for 20+ years. I want to sell my WA house as it is expensive to live there, but battling my wife over it. In AZ I live in Bouse as it costs me almost nothing in taxes and I have no utility bills. I would live here year round but wife hates the desert. She stays in WA and I spend 9 months in AZ. I have health issues to where I can't deal with the wet and cold weather so I leave WA. Here in AZ there is plenty of sun to make power and now solar is affordable.
Wow, it sounds like you have a good setup Alan and have thought of everything. You have simplified off grid living to make it as effortless as possible. Thanks so much for sharing!
Too much for me, stick with my week at a time RVING. Thank You Liz informative video 👍
I totally get that. I am fascinated with all the different ways people do RV life, seems endless. Thanks for watching.
Liz. Very interesting story about owning your own property to park your RV. I think this is probably a great option for a lot of RV'ers. Personally, I prefer community over isolation. That's what makes the world go round, we are all different. Give me campgrounds and RV parks that provide an opportunity to connect with others that share a similar passion to be outdoors.
Yep, me, too, Rob. I love the campground communities. Thanks for watching and see you in the next one!~
I am sticking to SUV camping. I am still limber enough to climb in and out. I didn’t bother to take backseat out to add platform; just pushing the seatbacks down.
That's an easy way to do it, Jen. I car camped in an SUV for a couple weeks and found it pretty fun. I discovered my Pathfinder even had cup holders in the way back! Thanks for watching!
Thats awesome! I've been wanting to do this exact same thing. Having your own private rv spot....and never need a reservation!
Exactly! It's so tempting, Patrick! Glad you are intrigued. Thanks for watching.
Personally I have Thousand Trails sure you have to plan ahead. I'm not wanting to hand dig my own septic system. I have worked hard all my life just my 43 ' Tiffin is about as hard and I want to live. But if it works for you go for it 1
That's how I feel, Jeff. I am always interested in how others do this life AND it's campgrounds for me! Thanks for watching.
I can’t help wondering what do they do all day? How did you meet them if they’re so off grid? Thanks Liz; stay safe!🙋🏻♀️
Hi Theresa, I think they just relax and enjoy life as well as enjoy their pets. Plus the off grid life is a bit more hands on so I'm sure he's always checking the inverter, cleaning off the solar panels, that sort of thing. I met them at their place in Florida but know them originally from being on the A-Team (subscribers to this channel). Thanks for being here!
I absolutely love this way of living. I'm going to seriously look into it when I retire and start RVing...
That's awesome, glad to hear it and thanks for watching.
I’ve really only begun thinking about this option.
Glad to hear this, David. Thanks for watching.
I love to see people able to live totally independently and off the grid. Great video!
I sure found it interesting, glad you did, too! Thanks for watching!
This is fascinating!!! Thanks for sharing..what an adventure they are on.
Yes, they are indeed on an adventure. Sure enjoyed learning about this myself. Thanks for watching.
That sounds awesome! I would do that in a heartbeat. Would my wife want to do that? NOPE! So here we stay, waiting for the next blizzard to hit Buffalo.
😅😂
Yep!!! It can be like that. Off grid living is not for me either, but definitely interesting to think about. Thanks for watching, Warren and keep warm. I wasn't too far from you when I was at Four Mile SP this past summer, such a great area with endless things to do.
@@LizAmazing We’ve stayed there many times. Awesome sunsets!
I've always thought it would be fun to have a few places like this, but only to live maybe a month at a time at. I know Wendy could not handle the remoteness full-time. But what stopped me from even considering it seriously is that I was under the impression that there were very few places (that weren't super-remote) where you were allowed to camp on your land.
It sounds like there are plenty of places where you can indeed camp on your land. Definitely do the research bc you want to be sure that you can live there in an RV, are not pressured to build, and a host of other things to research. It's interesting that people live like this. Certainly cost effective and they never have to worry about needing to make a reservation. Thansk for watching Jeff!
I have have 5 acres in eastern Idaho with a beautiful view of the Tetons. I think I want to put an RV pad on my lot . I live in western Idaho. I can hardly wait to get there
Hi lady...😺🙋♀️🙋♂️.. This couple seems to have worked at all out.... It's good information... We are not full time so we are still in our home... When we get 3 pennies together we try to plan a trip and then go enjoy ourselves.... Stay safe where you are... Thanks for the video..J&A
Thanks you two. Stay warm and thanks for watching!
Awesome information, thank you
Thank you for watching, see you in the next video.
Liz, Thanks for the land links! I have two acres in Tonopah, AZ with well and septic, but I've got the itch to move somewhere else, so I'll check out the links.
Glad to hear! Be sure to do your research thoroughly to make sure the property will work for you. Happy land shopping!
Interesting for maybe when we're at the stage in life of taking a lot of naps. Maybe for someone who works on a computer full time. Seems maybe lonely??? Good idea though if you need a home base in a pinch and just change with the weather. I think to keep getting the hubby out there with me it'll still be seeing the sights and traveling. Just recently got him out for a 10 day trip and he loved it. Working up to 2 weeks. BTW, you looked very pretty today so single life must be going well.
Awww, thanks so much! Great to see you here as always. Naps!!! Yes, while I am interested in the many ways people are doing this life, I do like staying in campgrounds. Thanks for watching.
@@LizAmazing 😊
Yes, I thought Liz looked extra pretty also. She must be happy 😊
Interesting tips on how this couple does this lifestyle. I like the two seater 'throne'.
I know it! Different strokes for different folks. Thanks for watching.
Liz, Me and my brother are doing something similar. We are currently looking for property in New Mexico, Arkansas, Idaho, Texas.
Our plan is to purchase small to 1 acre sites. And develop the too. Have a couple of RV pads on the with full hookups.
He is the Senior Building official in his local city.
So we know about building codes and covenants and restrictions.
The big thing is allways purchase through a title insurance company, also check with the county so you know the codes and restrictions.
And make sure you have access to the property. Don't buy a piece of landlocked and have no access.
We like the high desert and trees. We currently have complete plans for off grid power supply. You can also find out what your water depth is by contacting the US Geological Survey division.
Safe travels and roads Brian and Cindy, "xtreambydesign with passion"
Hi Brian and Cindy. I didn't know you were looking at doing something like that, how cool! Yes, you definitely have to do your homework to make sure the codes will let you do what you want. Keep me posted, and thanks for watching!
Liz that is what we are going to do . First six months we will be living in northern WI , we have 1 acre property with electric . Water is 2 miles away , but we have a above ground 250 gallon waste tank which will be pumped . Winter home is the same in Mayo Florida.😀
That's awesome Jeff. There's a lot of advantages to doing it this way, I bet you are getting excited!!! Thanks for watching.
It might be for me one day.
That's so neat, Steven, thanks for watching.
I love the idea of having land someday.
Yeah, it's so interesting. Thanks for watching!
And that is a great idea land in abundant in the west especially in Nevada
Yes, there sure is! Thanks for watching and see you in my brand new video right here: ruclips.net/video/-4V8KVdMnBA/видео.html
there are lots that have lots of restrictions so do due diligence but i think buying cheap land is smart, even sharing with others if possible
Exactly! I even put a long disclaimer in the video description. Buyer Beware for sure. Thanks for this, and for watching!
Thanjs. Gave me ideas of how to live where i am without water. I have given up on trying to get water. It is time to figure out how to turn my cabin into RV life. If RVs can run a washer, how can i get my washer to work without well water. I gave barrels of nearly frozen water on my porch. I need a better way. I do not think i can go solar because no sun in winter, but that water and composting toilet might work, but i heard they are pricey. Thanks, Liz! Great new ideas.
Thank you, glad to have you here. Yes, those Nature Head toilets are about $1000. Charlotte just texted me a link to a better and cheaper toilet that came out after they purchased theirs. A link is in the description. And thanks for watching.
Interesting concept
Being from Canada we have been looking at the west for something along these lines.
We will research more now that you have brought it to our attention.
Thanks so much‼️
Thanks Rob. There are some cheap land links in the description. Be sure to do your research as there are a lot of scams out there. And, of course, check the codes for the proparty. Happy land shopping!
Thanks for the great video. i own a piece of land in florida with a double wide on it. i might sell out when i hit the road in my RV. and buy a piece of land like in this video. I,ll keep watching and learn all i can.
Thanks so very much. I put some helpful links in the description. Do be VERY careful when land shopping. Make sure you check and double check that you can do exactly what you intend on it.
That's a great idea something I'll keep in the back of my mind for the future. Thank you so much, great video. Till next week live happy and be safe. 👍💖🕊
Aww, thanks so much Larry. Good to see you here. Have a great week!
Now the RV community will be able to purchase Air to Water generators for your motorhome. Watergen has a system that living vehicle will be incorporating into their new models.
Good to know, and thank you for watching.
I checked out the Watergen stuff. Their RV/mobile unit will do up to 13.2 gallons per day. This guy would need more than that - maybe one of the bigger non-mobile options Watergen offers.
that's some very expensive water, the technology isn't new, all they are is a dehumidifier which is nothing more than a portable air conditioner were the evaporator and condenser are in the same room, these water generators just collect the condensate.
they cost as much to run as a big RV air conditioner and don't work well in dry climates
This is very good and informative. Thanks for sharing with us. I appreciate this.
You are so welcome. I was fascinated to learn of this way of doing RV life. Thanks for watching.
I love it, they have that set up nice. Love your show Liz.
Thank you, love having you here!
Speed Queen, the best washers and dryers!
Evidently they sure are!!! Thanks for your comment!
Liz to me camp grounds in many places are way to crowded and sites so close together. I like the boon docking and this is a great idea. Great video and looks like you are doing well. Very happy for you.
Thanks so much Jim, glad you liked the video. It's definitely a good option for people not interested in staying in campgrounds. Thanks for watching.
That's amazingly smart I would love to do that that's what I wanted to do
Yeah, it's really a neat way to do it. Thanks for watching!
Great video ❤
Thanks Jeff! See you in the next one.
Did he give you any of the bottom line costs of each location? I am looking for the total cost of everything he has purchased.
For just one example, The water may not be any cost to him but going and getting it does, fuel and everything associated with the vehicle. The container for hauling cost him to purchase, probably. And I’m sure there are other things I haven’t thought about with water. Like sanitizing, filter for drinking water.
The reason I mentioned drinking water I purchased a ProOne filter system and got away from buying bottled water. It will eventually pay for itself butt I will need another filter in 8 months which adds to the cost.
Good points. I put links to a lot of what he is using including the water tanks, which are not cheap. I'm sure the fuel costs are subjective depending on changing costs of fuel, plus what his vehicle is, how he drives, etc. Thanks for watching.
Hubs and I really don’t like campgrounds- exception of some state park and COE sites. We have explored just this idea. Thanks for the vid…we will definitely checkout CO sites!
Great! Glad to hear this, Beth. Thanks for watching!
You would have trouble with the local authorities in Australia if you tried to do this, especially anywhere close to a town. Some try to live in a caravan while building a house, but the easiest way to be allowed, is to build a shed with toilet, shower and septic system first. The yearly taxes (we call them rates) would be around $1000, and the initial purchase way more than what you quoted, you would be extremely lucky to find a very isolated small piece of land for $20,000. A good idea to move between 2 climates, it would work in Australia too, just cost a lot more, and I would like to be closer to a small town.
Good point, Catherine. Even here in the states you have to do a lot of research to make sure the local government allow off-grid living. And then to make sure they allow living in an RV, leech lines, etc. Thanks for watching.
I love this sorta content!
Great! Feel free to share this if you wish. And thanks for watching.
Hi Liz, since it’s only me… I don’t think I would prefer the solitude. But this is an interesting video. Thanks for sharing!
Yeah, this is definitely not for me but I am always interested in the many ways folks do RV life. Thanks for watching.
This is way hardcore for me. I guess they should enjoy it as long as they can. The isolation and the heat would make me miserable. I know how hot it is out there in the palmetto fans and pine thickets. Especially after a sudden rain. It gets like a sauna in Florida after a rain. They my home state.
Yep. They only winter there and they summer in high elevation Nevada, thank goodness! I'm from Florida, too!
Where I live we always have trains
I love trains! I guess because my mom was born next to the tracks!! Thanks for watching.
WE DID THE NEVADA THING OURSELVES. THAT PROPERTY IS THE HOMESITE FOR OUR HOMESTEAD WHEN MY/OUR TRAVELING DAYS ARE A HIGH RISK ADVENTURE.
Hi PeeWee! Glad to know that you have experience with this kind of living. Thanks for watching and good to see you here!
Nice! Good for them...
Yep! Makes me appreciate my flush toilet!!! And I'm always interested in the many different ways people choose to do RV life. Thanks for watching.
Very interesting video Liz, It's cool that they were able to find property in Florida with very little deed restrictions, but I question the $20 taxes, better add another 0 to that. Seems like he could of put in shallow well and stop the need for hauling water. We also have a setup something like this, we have a condo on the water in Key Largo, Florida that is our winter residents and we have 2.76 acres in Southern Alabama that is our summer residents. This property sits on a 800 acre private lake and has no deed restrictions and is totally off grid. There was a well and septic system all ready in place when we bought the property so that saved some money. We're running 4000 watts of solar that more than covers our needs, but also have a few gas generators as backups. We cook on propane as well the hot water system is a propane setup. We're living in a 24 foot camper trailer with a slide-out plus we added a screened in room the whole length of the trailer. We also added two fairly good size storage sheds. It's not perfect, but it's home. The 6 months were away from our condo in Key Largo, we keep it rented out as a weekly vacation rental at $5000 a week. It amazes me that people are willing to pay that much for a vacation in the Florida Keys, but we are not complaining......
Wow, it sounds like you have a great setup year round!! Alabama has SO much to do and I love Key Largo! That's awesome you can get $5k a week for it. And I have no idea about the $20 a year in property taxes. It might be the way the land is zoned. The Florida property cannot be built on and is too small of a road frontage to even get mail. Thanks for watching and enjoy the Keys!
@@LizAmazing We love your channel, always great content....
I’m into my creature comfort. I could do this for a week, but I need A/C and everything else.
Me, too! I think with the way they travel they avoid the heat for the most part. But they definitely have to stay on top of their electricity and water usage for sure. I'm always interested in the many ways people choose to do RV life. Thanks for watching!
I've been wanting to buy RV land in Florida. I'm interested in only 3-4 months out of the year and don't really want to rough it like in this video. I prefer a mixed area, where I can still get electric, sewer or septic tank, water and paved road. I don't really want an HOA due to the cost but would consider it if the monthly fee was low.
Yeah, I don't think you can avoid the HOA if you want to buy an RV lot with hookups. Happy shopping and thanks for watching.
I always enjoy your videos you’re subscribers looks like they have increased. Got to get you up to 100,000 get one of those fancy plaques wishing you the best, my dear
Yep, Mark, I am looking forward to 100K. Thanks for being here and the positive vibes!
@@LizAmazing positive vibes are awesome 👍😎
Hi Liz,
We like off grid and campgrounds....we also like to go to different places
..not a fan of the 2 toilet setup...not sure that is really that hygenic
Yeah, that toilet part is not for me either!!! But people do it. Thanks for watching and let me know when you get to Arizona.
I have been thinking about something very similar. We have a home in the city, but would like to buy some land up north to escape the heat in the summer. I think this would work for shot stents
Thank you.
There really are so many benefits. You own the land and never have to worry about reservations. Definitely do your research because you wanna make sure that the laws allow the land to do with it what you intend. Thanks for watching.
Wow what a great review! I am in a position and ready to buy land. Been looking for a while. I like this “set-up”. Thanks and I will be looking with those links you posted Thanks Liz, and Happy Trails Michelle in Greenville…
Hi Michelle, so glad you found this interesting. Their property is probably not that far from Greenville, about 90 minutes east of you. Those links will show you what's available now. Happy land shopping! And, as always, do your research to be sure the property can be used as you intend.
Fascinating!
Glad you though so, too! Thanks for watching.
Love this idea.
Yay! It's pretty sweet for some. Thanks for watching.
Great idea!
They certainly are doing it on their terms! Thanks for watching, Andrew!
In ELKO Nv you can live in. A Rv. On your land any more. But you can stay a few week with their ok but you must go to ELKO and talk to them firsthand. A must!, lots of rules in ELKO and wells, Montello all so . Ck befor you buy or you will get big fines for not fallowing the rules out here.
Good to know. You definitely have to do your homework before buying property. Thanks for the reminder, and for watching.
Different strokes…
Good one em
You're exactly right, Monica! Thanks for watching!
Thank you Liz 👍
Thank you, so glad to have you here!
Not exactly my lifestyle. I certainly would not criticize this person’s lifestyle because if this country should go into a recession or depression this guy is going to find a way to survive. Good video.
Yep. It's so cool that they are so independent. Thanks for watching, Ernest. See you in the next video.
Exactly
Waoooo I live in Florida and never found a land for that price ,in Leesburg land are very high in price I was looking a land with a a Lil more than 1/2 acres and thay was asking $99.000 with a a mobile home on it, but the mobile home we have to fixed because was trash, Good video with the best info 👍 thank you mss Liz.
Thanks so much, I'm sure you saw the links to cheap land in the description, pretty wild! And thanks for watching.
You absolutely cannot compare land prices between Lake County where you live to what I believe is Putnam County Florida! Putnam County has the unique position as the poorest county in Florida! It's in North Florida below Jacksonville, one county away from the Atlantic. Land there is still pretty cheap because it's so ugly! This type of land is called "scrub" land and I'm sure you can see why. Personally it's too bleak looking for me but they appear to have everything they need to winter here and that's what counts.
In NV their are rules for you dumping on your land? In my Nv land I must have a free standing poop to go to a tank then have it pumped out. But living out here on my 650 Ac for shure .power is only by solar and wind. To bring power is over 650,00 for lines to your land? So wind and solar are the best way only.
Yeah, it's good to know the rules for the land. Thanks for your comment and see you in the next video, John!
More power to them. Not for me… but God bless this family!
Exactly this! Such an innovative way to do RV life. I love how there are as many ways to do this life as there are people! Thanks for watching.
As long as they are happy.
Yes, they've found the answer for them. Thanks for watching.
Unfortunately Liz you have struck a nerve with some people who deplore off grid living. This attitude runs thru many RUclips channels. To the point of over whelming harassment.I love the small off grid lots/acreage we can afford and enjoy. Good luck on this chapter.
Thanks Matt, I was wondering what was up. I had no idea people had such strong feelings against off grid living. I did the video bc I am fascinated by all the ways people can do RV life. Thanks again and see you in the next video!
That’s a big NO! Good for them that it works for them. Each to their own.
Yep, that's what I love about RV life, Kathy. I found it fascinating, but not for me either. Thanks for watching!
Great video - thanks for sharing!
Thanks Patty K, glad you enjoyed it. See you in the next video and have a nice weekend!
Having two home bases is very nice, but I like to travel too. My traveling can't just be from home base to home base.
I agree Adrian, I am the same way. They only get about 10 days twice a year to explore. But that's their choice, they could always use their property less and travel more.
@@LizAmazing You are correct. That is the beautiful thing about choice. We can all have what we want. 🙂
What part of Florida is that? I would like to find some secluded land there.
I put some links in the description. Be VERY careful in your research to be sure you can use the land as you intend. Thanks for watching.
Hi Miss Liz, how very practical and educational. Thanks for the great video. Can I be President of your fan club? 😃
You sure can!!! Love having you here. Thanks for watching and for your support!
@@LizAmazing I will do anything to support and promote this drama free educational channel,
@@ddeltres so glad! ❤️
You really are branching out 😄. This guy is exactly why our property in Texas came with a deed restriction prohibiting permanent manufactured housing, mobile homes and/or RV trailers AND I was completely ok with it. Would you want to own the lot next to this guy?
Ahh, no, no thank you.
I am fascinated with all the ways people do this life. As Scott said in the video, his neighbors in Florida are all traveling RVers. But I get your point. Thanks for watching and see you in the next video.
can you tell me how to kive full time off eletricity
You can if you have enough solar and enough sunny days. People I've met camping in Quartzsite with plenty of solar say they run their generators less than a day a month. Thanks for watching.
Hi Liz hasn't been able to keep up with your blogging but what kind of alarm did you use for your e-bike
Hi Michelle, I use the motion alarm by Juiced. It's LOUD! Thanks for watching and happy riding!
I join the "not for me" people. Thank you for sharing.
Me, too. But I sure am fascinated with people doing this life in such a different way. Thanks for watching.
Glad it works for then but not the type of lifestyle I would want. I also have a sticks & bricks that I spend 4 to 5 months a year at. While I'm gone I mostly boon-dock or use dispersed camping on the national forest. I prefer to travel so staying put on a tiny piece of land doesn't appeal to me.
Yep. It's all the different folks that make the world go round. I love the endless ways people can do RV life. Thanks for watching and happy travels.
Gotta ask if they have it zoned that way or does it even matter. I know if you live that way for a long time, they can’t do anything about it later in time.
They did a lot of research, I think two years. There are a lot of hurdles to make sure it fits within zoning. Not just off grid living and all that entails but also the legality of living in an RV. Thanks for watching and see you in the next video, Mike!
You have to be very careful buying land because there are laws from county or states that will not allow you to park a rv on the lot without having a permanent building (house) on the property.
Right you are! I even put a big disclaimer with the land links. You definitely have to make sure you can use the lot as you intend. Thanks for your comment, and for watching.
I can never find links on a channel. Help?
Just go to the description and you'll see them all under links. Be sure to read the property link disclaimer. Lots to be cautious of!
I am looking for something exactly like this where is that land located at I've been searching and it's hard to find can anybody please give me information
I put some links in the description and you can do a Google search. Be sure to read my notes in the description as BUYER BEWARE for sure. Thanks for watching and happy searching.
Be very clear - check all regs , regs regarding sewer , water.
Yes indeed. I put in a detailed disclaimer about doing your own research in the description under the links to cheap land. Thanks for stating this. It can't be said enough!
Please I am going to these links ! Ty so much ! This is my dream! Please though what ends of Florida is land possibly not as expensive as others cause it can be very high in most areas I’ve found! And again i will be staying on these sites ! However if you have any advice please! I’m disabled and limited on my income but this is a way that over time can pay off gods will !
Hi Tonya, glad you enjoyed the video. Be sure to read the disclosure with the links. And do your research to be sure the land can be used as you intended. Thanks and see you in the next video.
Do Scott and Charlotte have their own channel? This was a very good video.
No they don't, but they sure are great! Thanks for watching!
@@LizAmazing Scott did an excellent job of explaining every aspect of boondocking!
I would rather go to the laundrette in town ,rather than use an on board clothes washing machine..
As laundrettes are great social hubs too..
Yes, they can be. Thanks for your comment and see you in the next video.
Hello from freezing New York
Hello! I hope you've got plenty of hot chocolate and a good fire going. Stay warm.

Yep! Thanks for watching, Julie!
Okay Liz, are you reading my mind? LOL Last week you reminded me to get my tires checked. This week you are talking about cheap land. I have been online looking at land in Elko NV. I mean I was probably looking at neighboring lots next to this guy. It does two things, if I have land there then I can domicile in NV who has no income tax.
My kids and family are all in California, but I can't live in California because of asthma and fire season. Also, summer in NorCal is in the 100s. YUCK! Nevada therefore will be a general state that I will be passing through all the time, so even if I decided to not spend one summer there, I would be passing through, and could spend some time in the state. That way, Georgia and California can't claim I owe them taxes on my income, because I will be returning to my domicile state regularly. That can be a thing, a Michigan couple was domiciling in SD and Michigan sued them and the couple lost and had to pay 3 years of income taxes to Michigan because the only time they were in SD was when they got their licenses. Therefore, Michigan was able to state that they were still Michigan residents.
Now I realize that is probably a rare case and that this couple must have had a huge income, such that Michigan wanted to keep getting their taxes. But being autistic I must do things correctly. So, Texas was out, and Florida and South Dakota because I didn't want to HAVE TO return to those states every year. Honestly, Florida was out because the vehicle insurance in Florida would be outrageous. SD is just too far away on years I don't want to travel a bunch. I am autistic, so there will be years I don't want to. Also, by having land like that then I can have friends come to see me who are FT RVrs and hang out. I over analyze everything, but that is my autism. I also research every topic down into the tiniest details to make sure I won't have any surprises. Yep, my fun on travel days must be planned in, because I can't just decide to get off a highway to see some small fun thing to see.
You are so right to be thinking about all this, especially income tax ramifications. Good for you. And if I am reading your mind, lol, well I am trying to come up with a good video idea for next time. What's on YOUR mind? And thanks for being here!
Very interesting..
Glad you thought so, Darrell! See you in the next video.
This is too remote and off grid for me. I would prefer city services and to be fairly close to town.
I agree, Misty. This life is not for me but I am fascinated with all the different ways folks can do RV life. Thanks for watching.
✌️😍😍amazing
Indeed! Thanks Jay!
@@LizAmazing always waiting for your lovable clips✌️😍and warm respoonse✌️
Some state & local governments won’t allow you to do this. People need to do their do diligence and check everything out or it’ll bite them backside, could loose everything.
Absolutely. Thanks for posting this James. I put a big disclaimer by the cheap land links but people need to see comments like yours as well. Buyer beware for sure! Thanks for watching.
I can only say…….wow. Don’t think I’d be keeping the critters away with the “human” scent is the only other thing I’m going to say.
I have no idea either way, Ed. Thanks for watching!
