Hello everyone! I'm new here and just dipping my feet into the RV world. I have a somewhat unique situation and would love some opinions!
OK, so, most of my RV/camper experience comes from dog shows. I have show dogs and have stayed in friends' campers at shows as a teenager. Well, now I am a college student who has found myself "kicked out" (not really- but I live with my mom and she's decided to sell her house and move out of state- meanwhile I'm here at school)... the kicker is, I have 5 dogs.... you can't rent an apartment with 5 dogs....
so I'm thinking outside the box!!
I have a friend who owns a home with a large extra lot and is willing to let me park a camper there (we've checked, no zoning rules against it that we can find). So now I'm starting my research into the practicality of it.
The one BIG question I have that I'm not technically savvy enough to find the answer to is: is there a way I could "plug in" (I'm assuming some sort of converter would be necessary) to the electric from his home- so I wouldn't have to use a generator (for noise reasons).
I also need to do a ton of research (would love pointers) on what to do about waste water. It is a close friend so I could probably get by with showering at their place a few times a week, but I don't want to overstay my welcome and run into their house every time I need to pee!!
Anyway, I'm continuing to browse the forum and get new info and play with ideas. I am a college student so I'm tight on cash (my older brother would be purchasing the camper in cash, and I would pay him back for it monthly) so this would need to make economical sense as well.
Plus side: after I graduate and have a "real job" (I'm in nursing school- two years left) I would love to be able to take this to dog shows
Oh, and my current car is a Prius C.... so.... while a trailer would probably be best, and it will be parked, getting it there/emptying it may be a problem since I have no vehicle with which to tow it....
This may be a wish that just can't come true, but I would love to get your opinions!!
Thanks for any help/advice you can offer!!
