Ever since my geological consulting business dried up about a year ago with the oil price collapse I’ve been living on about $1500 a month and have been having a wonderful time. Since November I’ve been living in southeastern Arizona where I came to enjoy the quail hunting down here (3 species in the area). My $400 space rental, while a little high, covers all utilities so that evens it out. A hunting buddy stayed at both the local Parker Canyon Lake SP and a campground in nearby Huachuca City and never paid more than $300/mo +electric which, augmented by his onboard solar wasn’t much.
What kind of hunting do you like? I like upland bird hunting so I plan my fall/winter destinations to be in good bird hunting areas.
BTW since you’re a smoker you can probably find an excellent deal on a used RV formerly owned by a smoker. Believe me, speaking as a non-smoker, an RV owned by a smoker is a real turn-off but it shouldn’t bother you. I’m not being a nanny here, just a possible cost saving idea to think about when you go RV shopping. How do I know this? My current RV was formerly owned by a heavy smoker and I spent 3 solid days dumping buckets of orange/brown water while cleaning the cabinets, walls, ceiling and carpet. Three years later I can still smell stale tobacco smoke on a humid day.
