To answer if an RV clothing washer/dryer is worth it or not, the first question is are you weekending or fulltime? We weekended for 3 years and just didn’t see the point. We didn’t mind the occasional trip to the campground laundry facilities and taking home dirty clothes. Once we went fulltime, we started without […]
Using solar to save money on electricity is possible but not necessarily practical. First, you won’t get much benefit out of solar unless you also install a load supporting inverter or move some outlets over to be ran off of an inverter (both of which run off of battery power). Then you’ll need to stop […]
Probably not, but maybe. Be careful of zoning and planning to live in your RV on your own land. It’s very common for it to not be allowed or for there to be requirements on what you can and cannot do. Just because others are doing it, does not mean it’s legal. It could be […]
A lot of people just say to put the money into the bank that you would have spent on it and be your own warranty company. It’s not bad advice as the warranty companies wouldn’t stay in business if they paid out more than they brought in. The gamble works for them. That said, if […]
The different memberships are good or bad for each individual depending on your travel style, location, and whatnot. For instance, we have been close to where Thousand Trails parks are and love the cost savings (we’ve stayed over 1,000 nights in the past 10 years; at $30-60/night, we’ve saved $20-50,000 in that time). Alternatively, while […]
It all comes down to preference. I personally like knowing where all of the “quirks” came from and having the stories behind each of the bumps and bruises. But, know that: Almost all new RVs have issues; some big, some little. Almost all used RVs have issues; some big, some little. Getting warranty work when […]
We have had it for the past 10 years and have over 1,000 nights in the system. At $30-60/night, we’ve saved $20-50,000 in that time. Basically it’s a camping membership. You either pay a yearly fee for the base membership or a one-time fee + yearly fees for an upgraded membership. It’s essentially pre-paying for […]
