own vs. rent

The questions you ask are twofold. I won't give any opinions about the actual pros and cons of full-time RV life. I've only camped in mine. Though I have read that AS just aren't made for cold climates as well as some other brands out there.

Plus, I have heard that many RV parks (not camping sites, but living locations) generally have certain rules about the quality of RV. For instance many require that they be white, not that yellowish variety of the 70's and 80's, plus they need to be newer than 2000, say. I've just heard this, and it is probably not true of every location.

Owning a trailer, especially one on which you depend for your everyday shelter, is a more expensive proposition than one might assume. Eveything costs more to fix in a trailer than a house. Renting an apratment or home would allow you to focus on life instead of repairs. Perhaps, for the sake of the lifestyle choice, renting a fixed location would be better than buying a trailer and living in it.

Just my 2 cents, and probably not even worth that. If I only had 2 cents, don't think I would live in a trailer and it sounds like you have a bit more than 2 cents to your name.

Airstreams are cool, though.
