"Hello everybody"-considering your lifestyle

There always seem to be advantages to living in a travel trailer full time just as you are thinking, but there are many things that you need to learn about trailers. You talk about just a bed and a table - simple living. What about a bathroom? What about electricity? What about heat? How about water? Yes, these are on most, but not all trailers. So you are going to need a trailer that will provide basic life support.Many trailers come with a battery for power to be able to park in a parking lot or park overnight, but that battery needs to be charged and not all trailers are equipped to do this and not all tow vehicles are wired to do this. In the summer it can get real hot in a trailer and then you will either sweat or wish you had bought a trailer with A/C. That A/C has to be plugged in or run on a generator - so a campsite is needed or a place that you can run the generator (which will be sitting about ten feet outside away from your trailer so that you don't die from CO poisoning in the middle of the night) is needed. Oh, and many places say no running of generators. Then there is the cold in the winter - right now in most of the country it is near or below zero - even in places that it rarely if ever has been this way. You are in Manhattan so you know this first hand right now. You can't stay in a trailer all night in this type of weather without good insulation and a really good furnace which runs on propane. If that is not enough then you would need to add an electric space heater which will also require a campsite to plug in at or a generator. And then the campsites - many in the Northeast (and elsewhere) close in October and stay closed until April. So in the winter you would need to head to warmer climates (which at the moment are not so warm).

Then you say "considering your lifestyle". For many this is something done for recreation in season. For a few it is there is a lifestyle of full-timing but they are, for the most part, on a fulltime nomadic vacation. Going where they feel like when they feel like - usually following the good weather - staying for a while and moving someplace else. Most don't have work commitments unless those commitments are able to be done on the road. I know a few musicians who do this but it is rough and they will be the first to admit it. Spend some time on the fulltimers forum and talk to them about their "lifestyle".

This is not to discourage you but you need a good RV/Travel Trailer education. You can get some of that on various websites so start searching Google and you will find some of the answers. Ask here as well. And if it sounds too good to be true - its not. You can often do just as well renting - some place other than in a city - because you can't bring your trailer into a city and find a place to park it anyway - will cost a lot, lot, lot less than even the worst Manhattan apartment.
