Which is more important?
Hello full timers! My husband is a premed student, about half way done, and we decided that while he his going to school, we would live in an RV. This just about guarantees us a place to live no mat...

We do have a 1988 Ford F-350, 7.3 IDI with Turbo 4X4. Yes it's old, but we only need it for the actual moving. Several things inside are new and it's paid off. It won't be our only vehicle, also.
We have priced the cost of both RV living and apartment living in the same area of two places we could be in the future, plus the numbers for where we are now. Here and now it will be cheaper with most of the RV parks and we have picked which is our best bet and they have many many spots open. The two places we did numbers on in the future are the two places we want to be the most. Both RV parks and apartments we looked at were in the same area, near the medical schools, so either way the school district the kids will be in would be the same and we still will be paying less on an RV. We also went off of what my cousin is paying for utilities that lives in one of the areas we would be in. Medical district with a three bed apartment. We lowered the bills just by a bit since what we would get would be a two bed. We used the price of two bed room apartments when doing our numbers since in an RV, we would have two bedrooms (a bunk house).
Insurance prices are the only things we haven't gotten to yet since we haven't made a nearly final choice on what RV we will buy. Any advice about RV insurance is also very welcomed. That is an area we are unsure about how to do it. We don't want to go into an agency blind and then have the wool added on top of that.
We weren't aware that some cities started to put restrictions on time stayed. We have only asked in our area, here and now, if we can stay full time and all have told us it's no problem. In a larger city, that may be an issue. Thank you for bringing that to our attention!
Toy haulers are something that we've only glanced over since we loose out on having slides for the kids' room, which in a toy hauler would be the garage.
