Re: Fairbanks Alaska Full time??
Thanks everyone! I think we're going to try to find a short term lease for the winter. We would live in housing but, we were hoping to use some of the remaining BAH to pay off our credit cards, living in housing eats all of it. We like living in the 5th wheel because we own it and then are only paying lot rental instead of full house, but it sounds like at least for now we should get to know the are :) A Heated barn would be an awesome idea! who knows, maybe after the first winter there we will find something.833Views0likes0CommentsRe: Fairbanks Alaska Full time??
Thank you Trackrig :) I did get a hold of an owner of an RV park up there and she was SUPER helpful. She said there is one that stays open all winter but she wouldn't recommend living in an RV through the winter months. SIGH. Rent up there is insane which is why we were thinking about it in the first place. Then on top of that you have to heat the house for 600+ a month. Rexlion- he's an aircraft mechanic for the army.

We've never been up there, that's why I'm asking. LOL. We may just have to do it for the summer and buckle down for the winter. Appartments are expensive which is why I was thinking maybe the RV would be better... Research first :) I've only been to Alaska in the summer and it is beautiful. -60 terrifies me... Not sure we could get through that. I was wondering if I just wasn't searching the correct web sites for camp sites or if they really were all closed for the winter. I'm excited to move up there, but, we've only wintered through in Colorado and Upstate New York, never anything THAT cold. Thanks everyone!248Views0likes0CommentsFairbanks Alaska Full time??
Hello Everyone, My husband and I are considering living full time in our 5th wheel to save some money and pay off some debt. We are getting ready to move up to Fairbanks Alaska for my husbands job. I've researched cold weather and winterizing, our camper has the all weather guard and we would line the underneath with straw and put a skirt around it, line windows, etc. My problem is I can't seem to find anywhere that seems to be open year round up in Fairbanks Alaska. We've stayed in the camper at -20 before and everything was fine and it WASN'T lined or winterized, so the harsh -40 I think we would be fine. Are there any places that anyone knows up that are open up there in the winter? Any suggestions? Thanks! Nichole13KViews0likes23Comments
