Where to park fifth wheel while remodeling?
Hello all, I've had this radical idea to sell my 2500sf home and renovate a fifth wheel and live in an RV park for a year while I stack the cash... Still in idea stage I've not purchased anything. So...

Well thanks for the pep talk Grit Dog lol. As I said I wasn't expecting the same results in 2 weeks. But that I expect enough can get done in 2 weeks (working on it the whole time) to lighten the place up.
Spending the 20-25k to get something I like will save so much money compared to the 200k mortgage, not counter intuitive at all. I already love my house, so I have to make the trailer "cute" so my kids love it and feel connected and don't feel we are stepping down in our lifestyle but just starting a new adventure.
I remodel every house I buy so why not a fifth wheel. Yes I want my home to be cute. I'd rather spend 20k on an ugly one and paint it white inside and replace the floor + upholstery for 5k than 25k on a turnkey beige one. There is no reason this job is too much for me with the right help guidance and education. I am the type to watch every remodel video available and learn everything I possibly can before starting any project.
I appreciate your point about the weight. This is an important consideration... even though I will be stationary while I live in it, I might change my mind and will want to keep it light for resale.
I don't necessarily want to do this for years on end. Just 1-2 years, and in a stationary location. I am sure I can invest in an AC unit that can handle 2 years in Texas.... something to take into the big picture, thank you.
