Full time residences in RV Parks
My wife and I started Full Timing last September (9-2015) travelling south from the Pacific Northwest like a lot of folks do. We returned to the Northwest just two weeks ago with plans to keep travelling on to the Midwest then Canada and Alaska. We have noticed that in a lot of RV Parks in the West lately there are several folks that have taken up permanent residences. We understand that some folks need to stay in their RV's while their homes may have been sold and they are waiting on a closing date or perhaps they are close to a very sick relative or perhaps other pertinent reasons but my question to whomever would like to comment, do they have to pack things that should be stored outside the RV Park under and around their RV's? We pulled into a one year old "RV RESORT" priced at $312.00 + taxes per week that had a great Good Same Rating but also had 40 full time residences with all their glory (junk) spread all around and under their RV's. We know how many full time folks there are because we asked as we started noticing this was becoming the norm out here in the West. Where do we draw the line between a true RV Park and just a place to flop with all your belongings and collections and just that, a place for people to live year round. I thought they had places for that like apartments, mobile home parks, etc.4.7KViews0likes27CommentsRe: CB Radio - needed?
I keep a CB mounted and on when traveling in order to monitor traffic conditions. Also I use it if I want to learn of POI's in the area I'm traveling through when I'm too lazy to look things up before passing through the area. I suppose they aren't really that important to have but they do come in handy occasionaly. I prefer to have a CB on hand myself. But, it's your choice.476Views0likes0CommentsRe: preparing to full time
I want to thank everyone for your replies. One thing I need to clarify though, we have owned a DP now for 14 yrs but have been working all of those years. We have an exit plan in order. We were just curious as to whether or not we should purchase the new DP BEFORE selling our property as we have been told we could not get any financing for the small portion of the purchase we will need to finance unless we owned real property. We've had a couple of RV salesman tell us this. I believe I have my answer at this point and again thank you all for your replies.409Views0likes0Comments
