From what I can tell, many of the parks are 55+, which wouldn't help me. And a lot of the parks require a trailer or RV less than 10 years old.
As it is, I live in a van. I'm not going to be doing this forever, I love the van life but I would like eventually it to be in addition to a legitimate residence of my own.
If I'm just looking at saving money and getting my housing bills as close to zero as possible, I know there are plenty of other ways to go cheaper (That don't involve vandwelling). Changing location to a lower an area with cost of living, sharing a room, etc.
But I would like the privacy and freedom an RV offers. I'm used to showering at gyms, I don't need a lot from an RV. Just good electrical so that I can avoid being uncomfortably hot or cold. But you can't just buy a bus, slap some solar panels on it and find a place to park it for a few hundred a month. I like the idea of cheaping out on a house. To pick the state I want to be in, have an address, have a property that won't be condemned, but have the freedom to live stealth in a van part of the time and pay a trailer park rent part of the time.
Does anyone live most of the time in an RV? A trailer park? Park for manufactured homes? Is it indeed hard to do frugally as it seems?
