Hello
My name is Steven and i have a 1985 31' Winnebago elandan. I bought it about 6 months ago and have been living in it for the past three weeks. About 4 years ago my wife and 8 year old son bought 5 acres in the forest with an old manufactured home. Our plan was to tear down and replace with a stick built home. Well we are days from tear down and now living in the rv. 3 humans, 2 dogs, 2 cats.
We will be installing a dump station along with our septic. We have water and power. I need to run a 30amp dedicated line but I'm not there yet. I am doing this right after tear down and excavation.
To level the rv i made 4 gravel pads and leveled them with a transit so i can drive on and off. Its pretty level. I have no leveling jacks so its a Little wavy.
I built a small outdoor shower with a on demand water heater, propane. Will suck during the winter but so be it. It gets hot.
My biggest fear is winter, the cold and freezing. Our winters are not always super cold but occasionally they are. If anyone has advice on winter rv living id love to hear it. Things to think of.
