“My spot is $500 a month but they are splitting the electric bill equally among us, which in my mostly low-electric lifestyle isn’t working in my favor.”

To each his own, but I don’t get the lure of that lifestyle AT ALL .

If you’re semipermanently parked in an RV park paying $500/mo plus some of other’s utilities, plus whatever payments you have on your RV and living in cramped quarters, why not just move to a small town in Arkansas and rent a nice apartment for probably the same or less, and when you get the urge to get out and travel, go by car, stay in motels or campgrounds and skip the pain in the ass of dealing with a big RV trailing a car and the ridiculous gas expense.

What am I missing?

Yeah, you’re correct.

Sometimes it makes sense for some people.

I live in Arkansas, but in Benton County. Cost of living here approaches New England costs. It’s quite different than the rest of Arkansas.

I’ve decided to build a house by myself, by hand, so that my daughter and I can live without fear of homelessness. I fought that battle for 5 years and I’m finding that I’m not giving my best to her, in giving it to employers and landlords.

The rv for me is freedom and opens our future for better things.

If I have this vehicle, I’ll never be homeless.
