why do you want to live in RV?
parking at campgrounds is expensive,,,it might be cheaper to rent an apartment,or even a motel room.
.Ive seen people leaving their campers at WM or truck stop,,wouldnt recomend doing that unless getting permission from the managment..
I used to take my RV with me to work,which was construction sites,,this was in Alberta,which has plenty of space and no one cares where you park..
For me to tell you exactly why im choosing RV would require an extensive response haha. Short story: The home ive had for the last 5 yr is the house I grew up in that I decided to strip down and rebuild from the inside. Ive decided its time to leave it to my mom and remove myself. As mentioned before, im somewhat of a tight wad which which makes it tough for me to spend money on something that would never be mine. Also, for the last few months ive decided id like to take to the road full time eventually. I dont want to be shackled down to one place with a mortgage and leaking pipes to fix... I am single with no kids, I can do this :] So, rather than have a home or pay rent on a place I feel the need to furnish with******that I dont want, ive decided I'd live in an RV. Its still a work in progress... but its ultimately where ive decided I want to go.
As for WM, thats a definite no for me. Ive found an RV park close to the medical center (I unfortunately cannot park my RV in a cramped hospital parking lot) and it offers free shuttling to the hospital! Apparently, this park is home to a lot of the medical center hospital staff so I guess its not such a bad idea afterall ;]
Im hoping I can soon execute my plan and with the help of you fine people, make it work! I have to make this work for my dog as well though or else its a no-go.
