Haha! I love that!! What a solid story!! And bold I shall be! Honestly, I'm really not even looking specifically to "save money" on rent, I just want moving to be less taxing.
This is awesome!!! Thank you so much! I had planned on living in a park (trailer park, rv park) most of the time. Sorry, I guess I'm not great with the lingo. I was under the impression that I would have to, as most campgrounds/state parks get expensive quick and have limits as to how long you can stay. Mostly I just wanted to know about campgrounds, boondocking, etc, in case I got stuck somewhere and couldn't find a park immediately.
This is my home. It's not a weekend warrior thing. I'm not staging a cous or trying to prove a point. I'm just trying to make myself more accessible to moving. Fewer first/last/deposits, fewer Penske trucks (you wanna talk south of 10 mph?), fewer landlords (I like painting and want to pay my own mortgage), and less commitment. I want a home, but I also want to be able to move it wherever I want. So I better put wheels on it.
I have a motorcycle for some commuting. I have a basic knowledge of gasoline engines and can fix a majority of things that go wrong with a truck, '98 and older. Once you get higher into the '00, the electrical systems get incredibly intricate. I have a job. A good one. What I don't have is someone, with more experience than a few years and one state/is a full time camp host, who has lived in a trailer full-time and travelled with it. Im not well versed on how to find full-time lots (lots- am I using this correctly? Trailer parks. RV parks. Full-time lots). Im sure there's a million little things I don't know about, but I am so willing to learn.
What about a motorhome as opposed to a trailer? And thought/suggestions there? ...maybe I should start places my questions under the appropriate sections...
I recently discovered the difference between what having a 50 amp vs. a 30 amp trailer meant as far as access to parks and expense of lots. It's stuff like that that I am naive about. The small stuff.
As far as choosing exactly where to get my education, it's all relative until I'm registered for school. Haha! Believe it or not, I chose Boston on a whim. From what I've seen so far, I'll be having a bit of a commute to most larger cities if I don't want to live on the bad side of the tracks. Don't mind that. My commute in LA was over 2.5 hours. But I got to live in the mountains, next to a ski resort. It was worth it.
