Well, we're still trying to get our feet back under us.
The wife is going to call around and see if we can park a tt at a park w/o a way to move it b/c dealers will deliver and rent at a lot of parks is $500 or less. I don't think they will let us do it. But if they do I'm not sure if I want to put the cart before the horse. What happens if they want to kick us out or have us move spots and we've got no way to do it.
As far as 1k a month will get a killer RV: That's not a budget we can carry for years like a payment plan. I'm currently not working, not able to work, not drawing anything and the wife's gig expires in less than 60 days. Who knows what comes next. If we have to we'll get an apartment and day jobs.
The math doesn't work on a 15k truck. It will need work. Every used car I've ever bought did. Even good ones usually need about 3k work. The sales taxes in ID are 6%%, Most rear hitches are only good for 5k #'s, unless you get lucky and they put on a HD tow pack, so 1k for an upgrade or $1500 for a 5r. Plus tools, fluids, hoses, repair kits, etc: We lost all that. Plus dock fee if I get it from a dealer. Plus title fees. Plus replacing things that a lot of used trucks often don't come with, like a jack and a spare. It has been my experience that when you pick up even a really good project truck you're looking at about another 5-7k to turn it in to something that I would trust to haul my wife out in to the middle of nowhere and still have a reasonable expectation of getting her back to civilization. Plus, the only thing that saved our lives was the headache bar on the flat bed. After what we went through any truck we own will have a roll bar, so that's another $1500 since most don't have one.
If we can't get back on the road fairly quick we'll have to quit burning cash and go back to regular joe, boring 9-5 lives.
