Re: Introduce Yourself!
Thank you! Yes agreed on all your points! I knew for sure electricity source is key! And would plan to have spare propane tanks. I'm just worried if I can't find an electrical source and DO have to park at a big-store-parking-lot, that I have to move the RV every 3 days or so just to get gas for the geni and propane for the heaters, etc. I'm dedicated to the idea, but also nervous! Plus I rather spend my monthly payments on my RV than wasting it on graduate housing.1.6KViews0likes0CommentsNew to the group! Going to school in Connecticut... HELP :-)
Hi RV Group! I hope you had a great weekend! I am Brian, and I currently live in Northern NJ, but will be attending graduate school in Connecticut (University of Bridgeport) in... OMG 3 WEEKS! LOL (August 19th, 2024 is my first day). I am a newbie with RV owning (I’ve rented a few Class C’s in the past, but I am looking to purchase a Class A by the end of the week), and I am struggling a bit with finding parking on/near campus for the RV. I rather invest in an RV rather than waste it on dorms/housing with the school. But lo and behold now comes the issue of where to park the RV, while paying minimal rent as possible (since I will also have some RV loan to pay while in school, as well as my tuition, as well as cost-of-living in general, etc). I will solely be using the RV to sleep in at night and to study in. But I probably won’t even start parking in Connecticut until the early winter (whenever the weather starts to get bad). Otherwise, I plan on commuting everyday from NJ to CT (which is 2 hours each way). But I want to have the option to crash in the RV if the weather is bad, or if I have exams and need to focus on studying and not commuting, etc.) Straight to the point: does anyone know of anyone looking to rent their driveway or yard space for me to park on? All I would need is access to electricity (which I’d also be happy to pay). I would fill and dump at appropriate stations. I looked into campsites, and they are more $$$ than the school housing. My biggest concern is also winter. I’d like to have access to electricity so I can plug in a heater to keep the RV pipes from freezing. Any and all advice would be much appreciated! I already posted on a several FB Marketplace pages, Craigslist, and posted on the NextDoor App. I was actually directed to try here, RV.net. Others advised to park at Walmart, Cracker Barrel, etc., just to get permission from management. While I love this idea as well, I still need to solve the electricity issue, and worry about being plowed in if it snows. I hope someone can help! Thanks all!
