Full Time RV'ing....

[K9CCH]

Have you done it? Think you could do it?

My partner and I are rather house poor right now. We own a home that was built in 1955, we make our bills, we put a little in savings each month, but we can't afford the gut job it would take to remodel the home into something we would truly be happy with. So we talked with a realtor this week, and found out that we stand to make a SIGNIFICANT profit because the market is so good. So we've decided to strike while the iron is hot and list our home.

We've also decided to full time it in an RV for a year to sock away an extra $500 a month in addition to our regular savings deposits. We'll be trading in our 26' trailer for a 33-36' trailer with slides and more amenities, and we've already searched out all the long term parks in our area. there is everything from coastal living, to country living, to even very near downtown.

He is very gung-ho on the idea, but I'm still somewhat nervous. The thing is, houses in our area have stayed on the market for 16 days or less over the last 6 months. Most comps in our neighborhood were on the market for 9, 4, and even 1 single day. So if we do list it, we need to be prepared to move swiftly.

What do you think? Would you, could you, have you?

Your market is hotter than mine. Strike while the iron is hot!

We bought our house for $88K, and right now comps selling are anywhere from $110 to $130, and they are only staying on the market for a day or two.

In my market the 2008 devaluation has not been erased yet. Go FOR IT!!!!!

We'll we're meeting with the real estate agent on Saturday, or Monday and we've already started seeking area RV parks... so we'll see how it goes. I'm kind of nervous about it, but excitted at the same time.

If you can pull it off then go for it. Get tired of the view? ROAD TRIP!

Thats what Kenny keeps saying. LOL

There's an RV park here on the bay, like 3 blocks from the bay, that we are thinking of starting at. He said he'd like to park it on Galveston for a month next Summer too.

I'd love to live out of an RV from time to time with all the household things including a car and a bike.

My wife and I dream of doing this at some point.
Even being campground hosts. Someday.

Prolly want a 5th wheel style.
Arctic Fox is dreamy.

Get a trucking CDL and go trucking. Travel and GET PAID for it. I more or less live in my truck 28 days a month. I'd go nuts if I had to deal with a day job. Then again, i hate people in general so I'd go nuts just being near anyone for a day or longer...lol
