Hi All,I'm new here, and definitely new to RV'ing, I'm a full timer for over a year now. I apologize in advance if I offend anyone as I do not recognize political correctness. I hope I'm posting in the correct forum.Does anyone know where there are cheaper RV lots for sale similar to the pricing of Coosawattee Park? I checked with their marketer and some restrictions is that an RV must be <15 years old, 180 consecutive days then you must leave. Some are 55+ only. Does anyone know of cheap properties without all of these restrictions where one can just park an RV and live?

Yeah, but in WA state. That 180 days per year, or sometimes 160 is very common. You have to use it less than half time to qualify for a temporary use permit in most parts of the country. However it is not consecutive, it's cumulative.

My guess is the area around Brownsville, TX, or maybe El Paso/Waco but it's just a guess.

Most people do not know where Coosawattee is located... N GA and I do not now what price range you are talking (google finds $6K-10K). As the owner of a RV park in N GA, it's too cold in the winter to live in a RV and that's the reason we rent our sites for eight months of use and four months of storage. We have a few FTers that remove their rig for the four months we are closed during the winter... so I can go to S Fla. I doubt you will find anything cheaper, especially in N GA.

Try Arizona or New Mexico.Many people do it all the time.

I'd suggest the Rio Grande Valley of Texas - Mission, TX area. There are some huge parks there and many parks to choose from. Weather-wise you could stay all year.Also look into mobile home parks. Some have spots for RVs or if you want to stay year-round, consider purchasing a mobile home. It would give you much better insulation for summer temps and winter.

Buy your own piece of property and setup an RV pad

It may be cheaper than an RV lot plus the homeowners fee.

Why did you apologize "in advance" for fear of offending someone? You only asked a question!

Municipalities have lots of restrictions and some don't allow an RV at all. If I buy out in the country, most things will get stolen. I'm gone from the RV for 3 weeks at a time.

Because of the "offended generation". Offense can be taken if the question is worded incorrectly.

I was thinking out in the country...property with an old cabin or farmhouse. Put up a pole barn to store the RV in...
With todays technology you can monitor a remote site via the internet. It will notify you of movement and you can watch outside and inside via a PC or smart phone. Some systems even allow you to talk to someone on your property.
