- DutchmenSportExplorerOr do like we did... we purchased a house so we could park the camper on the property and use the camper full time if we wanted. We made sure what the zoning rules were before we purchased the house. The house has water, sewer, electricity. We park the camper in the driveway or behind the house, and basically use the house to do laundry, and when propane usage reaches 1 - thirty pound tank every two days in the winter for heat, then we move back into the house. We have a fire pit and a way to dump the tanks in the trailer. I installed two - thirty amp RV receptacle and one 50 amp receptacle so the camper can be moved to different locations on the property.
If we could not do this, we'd be looking for a new property.
It's an alternative. Maybe you could find an existing property that has an RV port, like a car port, but for RV's, or an existing farm lot with a barn that already has power running to it.
Works for us. But we do keep the camper completely mobile too. In 30 minutes we could be buttoned up, hitched, and out the driveway at any time. We do camp away from home almost every week-end. So these tires never have time to grow moss. - MerrykaliaExplorerThere are many places in/around Eastern Kentucky, Southern West Virginia, Southwest Virginia and Northeast Tennessee that has little/no zoning, but you will still have to conform to the Dept of Health requirements for water and sewer. It can still be done.
- agesilausExplorer IIIDon't know about the NE but in Florida you have to have 5 acres of land to do that. Plus you need power, a well (can be a big deal in the rocky NE I understand) and a septic tank if they are allowed. Not chump change by the time you are ready to move in.
