We think buying a house would carry the largest risk of all in that we might need to “bring our checkbook” to the closing when we sell due to the short time we have owned it. The Sac market should be good in 2020, but …… Renting is extremely unattractive for two reasons: difficulty of finding a house that allows that many pets and completely throwing away our money for someone else’s equity.
I think buying a house may be the best option,,house value goes up..
RVs on the other hand keep losing value and you still need to pay rent wherever you park..unless you want to boondock or WMart..
Once you factor in taxes, maintenance, remodeling etc..., houses typically lose money. Particularly if you may only be there for a few years before selling and taking the realestate commission hit. Maybe not as fast but not a lot of quarter million dollar 5th wheels out there.
I would also be hesitant on the toy hauler. We have friends with a new 38' toy hauler and it has a living space the size of our old 28' 5th wheel. They don't have nearly as much space as our new 34' 5th wheel. If you aren't going to be on the move a lot, probably not worth the lost space, just get a small trailer for the cycles.
If you can find a long term site, you could save a lot by skipping the truck.
What are the specs on your current truck? You can usually pull a lot more travel trailer with a 1/2 ton than you can 5th wheel.
