Travel Trailer or Fifth Wheel?

A cheap apartment would make more sense for the situation you describe. Get an RV because you need to be mobile.

In New England, it's possible to stay in an RV over the winter but not fun. You will go thru a lot of propane as even the best are horribly insulated compared to a house. Also what are you going to do for utilities. Sewer being one of the bigger issues in the winter.

If your friends would allow it and zoning laws don't prohibit it, you could consider getting a hold of a small old mobile home but that still comes with complications.

A cheap apartment was only mentioned to gain a couple extra months for research and locating the right unit since I'm out as of August 31st. I do intend to do some traveling 4 weeks of the year and some local camping on weekends. I will be able to hook up to their two 60 gallon propane tanks and am researching generators as well. I am in RI so it doesn't get all that cold here...by my standards anyway. I have subzero backpacking/camping gear if I need it and am always welcome in their home. My only real concern is frozen lines and tanks. Are there additional concerns I have not considered? I have water and septic figured out (I think) as long as things keep flowing.

I am trying to escape the urbanization and head for the rural landscape so renting much longer is not desirable and I refuse to purchase property at the moment because I don't want to be anchored to this horrible state! I have already sold most of my furniture and shedding the extra baggage feels great! I am seeking maximum freedom and that search has led me in this direction...
