So I currently live and work in the rainy lower mainland of BC. The goal for the new year is to finally have found a used off the lot travel trailer I, along with my senior rescue dog, can call home year round. There is an RV park within walking distance from my work, and that is where I plan to stay. It is not cheap to live in a park I realize, but I do have a deadline with my current living arrangements falling through, and I am prepared to make it work financially until I can ultimately reach my goal of having a completely off-grid outfitted home on wheels I can park on acreage someplace on the cheap. I do desire a travel trailer, I have put a lot of thought into it and although in dream land I may build a truck trailer home from scratch (think Tumbleweed tiny houses), financially I see it's going to be easier to finance an RV from a dealer than struggle with banks personally for an even larger loan to be able to afford something as obscure as materials to build one from scratch. So I have many questions pertaining to living in a travel trailer through winter in southern BC. What brands should I keep an eye out for? What are some tricks to DIY winter outfitting? Eventually I would like to live solely on solar and propane, with my own grey water catchment and filtration system, and my own external holding tank for waste or a compostable toilet. Thoughts on this? Any help, tips, comments are appreciated.
