Hello to all!
I'm sick and tired of the rat race so I started Youtubing Rv's. I started to dream of the possibilities of living full time in a Travel Trailer on the land I have. I narrow it down to a couple of models (without seeing them in person, just video tours and glowing praises). The Sunset Trail Grand Reserve 33CK, and the Surveyor 33KRLOK.
I head down to the RV store here in town in Upstate SC. They have neither model and, never having set foot in an RV before, was taken aback at how cheap all of his 30 foot-ish Travel Trailers felt. The floor felt similar to walking on a foamy kitchen mat because, the salesman told me, of weight limitations.
I sat in his office and cut to the chase: I had spent hours researching, and it seemed to be a non-starter in most areas to live FULL TIME in a PERMANENT location, even on your own property. He readily agreed but without hesitation, offered his solution. He says many people in the area do just that---live permanently on a piece of land---by hooking up to the TT, driving around the block, and unhooking in the same spot. He even said that his outfit could do this for me every 6 months. This way, I have not TECHNICALLY been there for more than 6 months, and the clock starts again.
So, I come here fully aware of the fact that I don't know. Should I lose the dream tonight and find a different way, or is what I wish for really possible as the salesman says? Feel free to chime in and to share links to old threads on the subject.
