Full time living, permanently placed?

California High Desert........Palmdale/Lancaster area

2.5 acres/$4k...that is nothing but dirt. No utilities, no water, no sewer/septic no phone......nothing

And then zoning..........no living in an RV. Mobile homes/manufactured homes OK but no RVs


RV Parks.......
NO you will not be able to put up fencing/yard area for your dog.
Your dog (pets) will have to be on a 6' leash, can not be tied out unattended and RV sites are not very large. You will be close to neighbors etc.

You CAN get into an RV park for long term where you pay monthly site rent PLUS electric (water and septic included in monthly site fee)

Cheaper than $1200/month studio cost (with utilities) BUT you don't have an RV or tow vehicle so by the time you buy trailer that is livable and a tow vehicle that is adequate to tow trailer...........$$$$

The better/safer areas in will cost more. (There are NONE in Palmdale/Lancaster)
Example:
The Californian RV in Acton (Between Santa Clarita and Palmdale Hwy 14) $725/month plus electric
Spaceport RV in Mohave....$185/month plus electric

I lived in High Desert for 15 yrs.

Living in an RV can be cheaper.......IF you already own the RV and Tow vehicle
But not having either makes it tougher plus registrations/insurances and the fact that an RV has maintenance costs plus it depreciates.

RV living is GREAT.......not usually less expensive. Just a different way of life.

That link (Interstellar Orchard---Becky) she has lots of good info based on a single woman's experience.

So none in Palmdale are worth bothering with? Haha. Great... Mohave sounds cheap, but too far the wrong way for me I think.

Apparently my current car can tow 2,000-3,500 lbs. That has to be able to tow some kind of trailer, no??

So zoning laws, can't even keep an RV on a friends property? I have a friend who just bought a ranch that has a few trailers on it currently that are apparently quite a wreck inside, but form the pictures they look hooked up to electric hookup spots. Probably not "legally" allowed to live in, but could??? I've partially considered one of those on her new ranch, with some work doing it up a bit inside?? I don't know if they would still actually travel or not though. The entire thing's outside has been painted, to match the red of the rest of the ranch house/sheds etc.
