Hi, sorry if this is a dumb question. I’ve been wondering about it for a few days now.
I had this conversation with a family member recently, since I got curious while an RV was passing by on the highway. If it’s so much cheaper than owning a home or paying for rent, why don’t I see more people doing it as their primary residence? Especially in HCOL or VHCOL areas and states?
Wouldn’t it be cheaper to buy an empty plot of land and let your RV/trailer sit on top of it? Until you can build your own home way into the future, when you have enough money?
I get that it’s a hassle for most people to not have direct access to a bathroom, but wouldn’t it be a small price to pay for you to dump out your waste bucket from an RV every day to save a lot of money?
I understand that it’s not for long term. But for short term residence, it seems viable. Especially since Mercedes has been selling smart RVs to my knowledge these past few years.
I have been in this sub a few months ago, and saw a post asking something similar about living in manufactured homes and their value depreciating over time.
Again, sorry if this is dumb. I just recently moved to the US at a VHCOL area and I am 16, so not the most financially literate or world-wise about a lot of things.
