Well I just can't get over the fact that rent is the same amount as a house payment. I figure a travel trailer could be had for 200 per month or less. Though the addional costs seem to not be worth it. The idea of being able to pull off when we want to though sounds enticing. I'm sure it can be done if I were experienced.
Anyhow that's why I posted on here just to get a general consensus.
The camper itself could probably be had for that, however interest rates on a lower priced camper tend to be higher. But don't forget to factor in the licensing and taxes (I believe you pay a state tax yearly on vehicles there, correct? I think RVs go into that too). Also what about other things like, how are you going to get water to the camper? Will the land you're parking it on have a water hookup? what about dumping the sewer? Do you have a free place you can dump that safely? I would also be sure to budget for repairs/maintenance, since even a new camper will require some of that. Also, are you willing to pare down your stuff to the bare minimum? And, I mean really minimum, otherwise you will need to store your things somewhere, whether that be with your family, or in a paid facility.
Just based on my own calculations, this camper will cost you about the same as an apartment, and an apartment is actually warm LOL
