I can't tolerate neighbors loud music anymore.

Neighbor even banging hard on the floor making ceiling shake and scaring me

I just need to get out and be on my own away from people

Anyone know what it is like to finance an RV and live in it

Any info

Thank you

Go to YouTube and type in “Van Life”. There is an entire subculture dedicated to this topic.

Yes, I have been viewing those along with Tiny House videos, so search those also.

My step-sister and her husband lived in an RV for a time to save money.  (I'm sure they bought it used.)  As I recall, the only thing that sort of bothered her was the smallness of the shower.  They parked it in a campground where they got a good deal for the rental of the space.  They liked being in nature and the woods so it worked out for them.

Her husband's co-workers were always complaining about the high cost of housing, so he talked to several of them about the RV lifestyle.

Eventually, they moved away to a cheaper state.  They then bought a piece of property, a log cabin kit which they built themselves, and they still live in it to this day.

My former boss had one.  He bought it used … on the small size from the 1970’s.  Looked like something the Brady Bunch used with the wild orange and yellow flower print for the cushions.  He bought it for vacations because he had 2 golden retrievers and wanted to bring them along.  He would park it on his parents backyard when he went to visit them in PA.   The bedroom was up in the ceiling … had to climb a ladder it was a tiny crawl space … very claustrophobic to me.  If you plan on living in one 24/7 you will really have to get rid of most of your things.  Then if you plan on driving it around … think of the high cost of gasoline. He was constantly bringing his into the shop for repairs.  He ended up selling it after owning for 2 years.  You will have to check into the RV camp grounds near you for the rental park space fees and what it will cost to hook up for electricity, water and to clean out the waste tanks.  Also consider the camp ground area … is it deserted most of the year until summer time?  That would creep me out to be in the woods like that all alone.

It might be better to look into renting a mobile home.  They are far more roomier … feels like a small house.
