[QUOTE="Lil, post: 695056, member: 17309"] OMG! [USER=18238]@Jabberwockey[/USER] and I were JUST discussing this this weekend! On Friday at work I'd watched a documentary (your tax dollars at work) on YouTube called American Nomads. Some were hobos and rodeo cowboys, but the first group was older folks in RV's...snowbirds. On our way to visit friends I was telling Jabber about it. These folks sell their homes and buy an RV and just live off their pension. Some of their RV's are SO much nicer than my house! lol I could do that. At least for a while. I love to travel. If I could maybe own a piece of property I could call "home" when I needed to be stable for a bit, yes...I could definitely do that. It's more mobile than a Tiny Home, cheaper (in the long run - those RV's are pricey!) than hotels. I think I'd probably have to consider a pickup and nice trailer though, instead of an actual RV, just so you can unhook and go places leaving the "house" behind. You see folks pulling small cars with RV's, but that just seems so odd and the fuel cost! When I was a kid, 13 and 17 or so, we took two trips to the Pacific Northwest in the stereotypical station wagon and travel trailer. They lasted like a month. I want to do it again SO bad! [/QUOTE]
