It's comforting to us to know that if we did face such a crisis we have a wonderful RV to fall back on. Think of those who don't even have that.

Quote:I pray that everyone who reads this never ends up having to live in their RV out of need.
While I feel for all who lose homes and jobs, I just retired from 16 years with the Union Gospel Mission - a homeless shelter and ministry to the poor and very disadvantaged persons in our community. I was a "resident" employee. And I can tell you that moving into my motorhome for full-time living was a step up for me.
My point of view on this is somewhat different.

I hope we would never "have" to live in our trailer!
But, it is something DW and I have talked about. That if we ever lost our home due to a disaster or serious financial problems, we would have the trailer to retreat to. It is fully paid for, and could be driven to somewhere safe,less expensive to live, or to find another job.
Again would hate to be forced to live in the RV, but it is another advantage to having an RV. Would rather have to live out of the travel trailer than the back seat of a car!

See it all the time in Oregon, most stay at small rv parks along rivers near the
coast where the parks are cheap. $350 a month buys you a space plus utilities,
sometimes they are metered separate but not often. Uusally they are 10 yr or
older 5th wheels and are a little weathered. I am sure they don't live this
way by choice.

Having had the opportunity to visit several third world countries I can see that a lot of folks don’t have any idea what hard living is.
A lot of folks complain about this country, but the bottom line is even the lowest standard of living here is way above the average in many parts of the world.
Living on the banks of a river with no job, shoot that don’t sound so bad to me!!

I cannot even park mine in my house for more than a few days before the neighbors start calling the village and accuse me of "storing" my RV in the driveway! It is a shame as many of our local RV parks limit the amount of time you can stay (five day max) so for us it is not even an option to put it on the street. I would like to tell the village to pound sand but our neighborhood adopted some stupid rules (that are not enforced equally) about parking things other than cars on property. The shed building rule appears to get ignored but park a boat in your driveway and just wait for the village to crawl up your privates!
When I read these, I am glad I bought 10.1 acres in the boonies. I can park anything here as long as they have current plates. I can also raise an antenna tower without my neighbor's permission. I am still close enough to get to the stores I need.

As long as we can keep our old MH "dry" we will keep it for the above reasons even if we only use it in the local area otherwise. With a full tank of gas we could keep the business powered up for a few days if we could drive to the office. A paid for RV is a nice comfort blanket for us.
