Putting you RV on blocks permanently

Hello. I have a 1996 Monaco Dynasty. The undercarriage on my RV needs some serious renovations from a body repair shop to the amount of $10K as the undercarriage including side beams that run alongside the perimeter of the Rv have eroded through rust. I was thinking that instead of having the work completed is to find a RV park in Florida where they will accept the RV in one spot 365 days per year. I would level RV with blocks and use pressure treated wood for the undercarriage. I would stop driving the RV and use it as a permanent location. I do know the joys of traveling but need to know when to stop putting dollars to high ticketed items but still enjoy the RV in one location for the winter and store the RV at its permanent spot. Your thoughts please.

  • Better check that out thoroughly. Some parks or counties won't allow something permanent in a RV park...perhaps a mobile home park. There are regulations that a RV has to be able to be moved in an emergency.

    Also, it seems that would be very difficult to sell or haul away, if needed. It doesn't sound like it would be safe on the road.
  • I can imagine an RV on a pontoon. Unsafe at any speed? Here I am sailing my 40 ft up the Tom Bigbee in the fog and I meet an RV with headlights on, I'll drive my boat onto a freeway.LOL
  • sounds like a good idea. I heard in some states people are turning old rvs into houseboats. Maybe I'll add pontoons when mine gets too expensive.
  • Great idea! Sooner or later, it stops making sense to keep throwing money away.
