As we need stability due to my being tied to one area for years at a time, we want something cheap with a good layout.
So we're not the typical full time RVers, who will travel park to park around the continent when we want, we are very tied down. But buying an rv makes more sense than a house in this area. After 4 years of rent I could have bought this RV and 4 years of RV park rent, but I'd have something to show for it.
If buying something cheap(lower cost) to live in full time, then you may not have much to show for it in 4years. The lower cost units are made for limited use and require repairs and upkeep. I'm constantly making improvements to mine to make it more reliable.
Look at a well made unit like Northwoods Manufacturing's Arctic Fox, Nash, Snow River or OutdoorsRv's BlackRock, Creekside, TimberRidge. These rigs will stand up to full time use and you will have something left to show for it in 4 years.
Northwoods and OutdoorRv are at the top of my list when I go full time.
