Should I go 50amp or 30amp?

OP,

Building on greenrvgreen's comments above, I think a realistic assessment should be done on it's expected value if you have to sell. I believe you mentioned that you'll be in Washington for a few years, then possibly move up to Alaska.

Have you considered just getting a used park model for now, selling it when you need to move, and then when you have a better idea of where you'll be permanently located, buy something there? I know it won't be quite the layout you want, but it will get you housing cheaper and probably be easier to sell as well. This will only be "short term".

I think this is a neat project, but I'm not sold on the idea this will have much value to most people, may not be allowed in some campgrounds and wonder what it might cost you to have it towed from Washington to Alaska if you don't have access to a very large truck.

Now if you're building it and don't expect to sell it and have the means to safely move it, that would be different.

Again, good luck. I hope it all works out for you. :)

Thanks for the input, Rick. It's really not about the resale value. We plan to travel around for 8 years and felt this would be a fun project/adventure. I actually posted a Craigslist Ad and had a gentleman offer me a free place to park with hookups as long as I kept up the land for him. I would have to pay for electricity of course but that's it.


It will probably make it's way back to North Dakota where our family resides and be an heirloom. That being said I still feel it will have more value than this group expects. Especially if I brought it to western ND.
