Hi, I am investigating living in a RV for a few years while I recover from being financially wiped out via a failed marriage engagement. A friend of mine swears Airstreams are the way to go (though he doesn't have one), so I decided to look in to them first. Before I actually tried to live in one, I would rent one, and see how it went.

The pros: I have a good job that pays $70k a year, had the same job for 5 years, single, no family, no pets, few belongings, used to moving, sometimes adventurous, work as a computer programmer, early 40s, if I was a retired millionaire I would probably want to live in an RV.

The cons: No savings, $5k credit card-debt, no RV experience, live where it sometimes freezes (northern NJ), need a good internet connection, prefer quiet places, don't know anyone with an RV, my regular car is a wrangler, don't like what I've read about living in a "winterized" RV, tend not to meet new people.

I assume I could get a loan to buy an RV, which may be an erroneous assumption. While I've been in debt a long time, I've never missed any kind of payment. I purchased and later sold a house 10 years ago.

I really do not know much about where I could live in a RV, I've been searching for RV parks around where I live - but I'm not sure if they are campgrounds or places where you can put an RV for an extended amount of time. Ironically, I wouldn't need to move the RV, just live in it. If I did live in one, I could use it to visit relatives in other states. I was looking in to Motorhomes so I could tow my jeep if I had to, if I had a truck I would look at Travel Trailers. Maybe a "Park Model" is a better choice, if they are even available to me. I have an aversion to trailer-parks.

Any suggestions?
