Placing a travel trailer on our recreational property?
Hi everyone,
My husband and I own 5 acres of 'boat access only' recreational property in the Pacific Northwest. We spend weekends and holidays during the spring to fall. We have been tenting so far and I'm not loving the tent... We would like to build a cabin someday but we've looked into it and with permits, the requirement for septic etc. it's too pricey for us at the moment. I am thinking of barging over a travel trailer for us to stay in while there or perhaps even building a small cabin on a trailer (aka a tiny home.) The reason we're considering these options is that both could be fairly easily removed if needed. Another couple in our area brought over a travel trailer and seem happy with it so far.
What I'm really hoping for is some thoughts from people who have been in this situation about whether this is a good or bad idea. It is pretty damp around here and does drop below freezing a few times during the winter so I'm not sure how well the travel trailer will hold up, but it does seem appealing nonetheless.
Thank you!
