Very good advice. Thank you Kolleen Today again in the morning I had to listen to loud music and I guess you all know how you can hear that base or drums and constantly feel that somebody is hitting you on the head Left apt. Came back to same sound. Hard not get agitated , get angry or cry I will do as you said Kolleen hoping in a few months I would have moved out of here I believe you will find God's blessings in it! :rose: My sympathies, Heidi. I have, or really had, an ongoing issue with noisy neighbours above me. I definitely was irritating and it affected my sleep. After much prayer there was a breakthrough. I believe they finally got carpets on their hardwood floors and it made a world of difference. It muffles the sounds really well. Thank you, Lord! :yahoo: Now, I know the Lord God has a solution to your problem, as well. I don't know what it is but I do know that the Lord will work things for the good for you. May the Prince of Peace being you Peace. :prayer-hands: *May the Prince of Peace bring you Peace. Shalom in silence! To better hear the Lotd! TR Hi Heidi, I would get other peoples' experiences and knowledge who have lived in an RV or Motor Home. There are upsides and downsides to this. It may be like a lot like other things; it's not for everyone. Phil Hello everyone, thank you very much for your responses. I really appreciate all of them. I guess living in an RV is not for me. I will get a wireless headset for now and put it on when they are playing "what they call music". there are times when I don't want to listen to anything myself, even music that I like, I just want quiet. However, I can put the headsets on, play ocean waves and if I still hear their music and feel like I am being hit on the head, I might play other music that is a bit upbeat but one that I like. I can also look into apartment buildings that only have a few units or maybe some Jewish neighborhoods. I think these people are quiet. Co ops might be ok too since the tenants know each other and work with each other but these have long waiting lists. either way, I am not moving any time soon, can't even think about it now. Too stressful. thank you so much So Heidi I have been living in my RV for 6 months now, while we have stripped the whole house for renovations. We are coming to an end of it but I feel I am now an expert on RV living. If you are off-grid, you will need a water source and power (solar), probably will have to cook most things outside, which is always nice. WE bought a portable electric heater to supplement the propane and it worked great for the winter, plus I have a electric fireplace to help on those very cold days. The other thing you need for winter (when the RV is closed to ward off cold) is a dehumidifier to keep the moister down preventing mold. We parked on our property and had a 50 amp electric line from the house to plug up; we keep 4 propane tanks for heat and hot water; I have solar for the frig and battery back up; we have the heated hose and dehumidifier and have lived very comfortably. My clothes are limited due to space (most of my home is divided between 4 storage units (that is costly)); I use my Instant pot and air fryer mostly because of the convenience but I do love my cast iron as well. We also insulated the large windows agains the winter - made it very dark at night; but we have taken them down now and are hoping to begin moving into the house in about two weeks — been spending a lot of time after work doing the clean up from all the deconstruction and re-construction. It has been a real trial as we have a lousy contractor. But God is great and I am looking forward to my home in heaven more and more. Thank you very much Tammie. This is very helpful.
During the winter we had to wrap the board insulation around the perimeter to help insulate the underbelly. We have a heated underbelly as this is a 4-seasons RV 27’. Also in the winter you will need a heated hose if you live in an area that gets temps below freezing (in todays end of times that could be anywhere); there are great video’s to tell you how to manage your black tanks (human waste), your gray tanks (shower and sink water). You will need a place to park it and many RV parks do have long term renters, you pay for your water and electricity included in your monthly fee, it is typically not as high as apartment living.
As to the cost of an RV, that range is as wide as your taste and need. If it is full time living, you will need a full cover RV, not necessarily a 5th wheel (they are nice but rather pricey). Coleman is the worse brand. The “lite” series (I have owned two and currently live in one) are fairly nice.
You will need to be space conscience and you do have to have special toilet paper or you can do what many foreign companies do and place your tissue in a walmart type badge and throw it out each night.
Hope this is helpful and just tag me if you have any questions …. having been RV camping for many years, I have enjoyed getting to know the little “communities” we visit.
