draw back to fulltiming in NH?

I'm wondering what the down falls would be to staying a NH resident and a fulltimer? I am 32 so not worried about retirement income at the moment.

    Last nights temp dropped to -15 so if you think you can stand that kind of cold and digging out of snow 2 or 3 times a month, then go for it. I know there are a few campgrounds open all year but you will need to use your water tank not a hose hookup and you will need to arrange for large propane tanks for heating. The campgrounds will have heated bath houses so you can make use of them. Winter in New Hampshire is not something I do and I have a Condo there, right now I am in Florida:)


    I think they were asking about the financial aspect rather than trying to spend the winter months there, but I could be wrong.

  • We have been for 5 years. One of the issues is the yearly vehicle inspection. If you want to travel for over a year, you must decide which to do.
  • We also live in NH and are approaching retirement age. We have wondered the same thing. With no income tax and no sales tax, property tax is high but if you are fulltiming and don't own property, it shouldn't matter. I think we probably have higher vehicle registration costs than some states. I'll be following this post to see what others have to say.
  • Campgrounds that are open in the winter. Cost to try to keep warm.
