RV can get really cramped in a hurry. Plus maintenance can be a killer if your not used to it. Consider a park model instead. Cheaper to buy, more living space, less upkeep. Of course you wont be able to move it either. We lived 8 months in our fiver while trying tonfind a house too. Lots of negatives if your parked in one place. Now, if you were full timing and moving every month or so, thats another story
My dad winters in Winter Haven, in a small double-wide senior community. Last year he paid $10,000 for a nice used double-wide on a lot that costs $240 per month. It's a simple, well kept park. Considering the space, the ability to heat and cool easily, having real toilet, shower, and sewer, and the money, I cannot see doing the same in a fiver. Due to death or disability, there are always a handful for sale there. I'm sure it is the same all over central Florida. He says the rent is below market because the owner is satisfied with his tenants and there is no pool, just a simple clubhouse. Even if the rent was $400 per month, this seems like a no-brainer.
