Nothing wrong with your plan, buy used. Lots of full timers in RV's.
Coworkers of mine did exactly what you proposed, and saved money living in a fiver until they could afford to have a log house built. Then they moved the fiver to the cabin and lived in the trailer while they finished the cabin themselves.
THANK you as I have been watching many You Tubes, plus read an article which has prompted me to look into this. There is a couple that did this- and just like your post, still worked at their jobs and docked on their lot, and even extended their living for an extra year and according to them, saved money. Their permanent home finally completed. I too work, but equating those that drive to sleep at night, and dock for short periods. I work which perhaps I am missing something but do see this happening a lot now. Buying a lot as this couple did provide the opportunity to establish things that will be permanent such as storage and driveways, etc. when building is complete. Also allowed them to store their belongings for their home on the property. The area I live in has lakes and many "permanent" rving - parked for months- extended stays and then might relocate. Many are 5th wheels while some are travel trailers. Plenty of people doing this according to the many YouTubes and the area I live in so quite surprised to receive such a variety of comments. Was searching for feedback on things to think about regarding RV purchases, lifestyles in the different classes without Class A- which is big bucks Perhaps I will visit the park and "interview" those that are actually doing it and in Trav T's and 5's. Several parks here and always full. Not a perfect resolution but toward a long term goal. Many Thanks,.
