  • It probably won't save you very much money especially during the colder months when your heating bills will be high. How about downsizing and investing any profit that you make?
  • A class a r any other RV is going to be cold in the winter in Colorado.

    It what worth it?

    The idea of full timing? When I told my doctor of my plans he said: "That is good. You will live ten years longer." With the reduced stress levels I now enjoy, I believe him.

    Is a RV Park worth $400.00 a month? Some are, some aren't. Research is the key.
  • What you need to do first is: Both of you set down and make up a budget, and that ought to answer your oun question.

    I've been thinking about this very same thing alot since my wife passed away a few months ago. I already own a Class A (2000 year model) that's in very good shape, and has justa bout everything I need in one. so I thought I'd set down and just see if it was possible money wise. I'm already on S.S. income. and that's not going to be enogh to cover the cost. But, if I stay in our home, which is also paid for, I'm not going to able to afford staying here either. Only you can answer this question.
