Am I Just Naive
Maybe, maybe not... I'm sure you will get a lot of common sence answers here. To me the bottom line is..If people could of done what you want to do THEY would of.
There is or was a Yahoo group that delt with home school in RV's. (Should turn up in search if still around). Glad you can make a living and full time RV at the same time. I couldn't, so had to wait till kids grown and now retired. Some blogs have what they spend per month which is a real handy reference. Yes, it costs more than what I thought it would. And have you given any thought about medical? (Not Cheap)
I keep thinking of the expense but if we buy a used class A diesel, gas and RV parking fees would still be a lot less than a house payment. My in-laws tell me that something constantly needs to be fixed on an RV and it is expensive and a hassle to fix it. Is this true? I find that when we had a house we were constantly fixing stuff so I'm not sure it would be much different even if the RV did have a lot of maintenance issues. Am I just ignoring sound advice from my in-laws? I wanted to ask people here who actually go RV-ing regularly or full-time to see what the good, bad and ugly is.
A used class A will be worth what in 10 years? A house will be worth what in 10 yrs? Odds are house will be worth a lot more compared to a then 15 or 20 year sold RV. I don't think you are ignoring sound advice from your in-laws. Maybe you would just like input from others that are already in RV's. But I can tell you that a lot of people would be on the road a lot earlier in life if they could swing it money wise.
OK there is my 2 cents..Hope others chime in with some good advice.
