would it be a good future investment or should i just go for something that has everything in it already or what? if i do that, i would just get a 5th wheeler… *sighs* i just need advise…
i plan on it being a permanent place for me, my fiance, and my younger bro to live… due to…misfortunes, we need a home. we were gonna get a rv and just pay weekly for space rent, but we thought about what if we get this instead…fixed it up, lived in it a few years, then ;later on got a house…we r just struggling and we need a home…even if it is small…
we have been living in an rv with my dad and his fiancee (5 people in a 30 ft superslide rv lol) so i know it wont be comfortable…we been doin that over a year now…and it would just be a relief to get out with me micah, and my bro…it wont be much, but it would be more than what we have…we already have like a plug in heater and stuff so we will be warm and w/e…we have deliberated over all this 4 quite some time lol
That is not considered a travel trailer now a days.It needs a tremendous amount of work but if you are up for it fine.You may can move it with a truck but it is not something you want to pull around the country,if that was your plan.That was a trailer,not a travel trailer,it was meant for permanent set up.It will not have holding tanks.
I’ve lived in my 29′ travel trailer, and I can tell you this would be some small living with 3 people – think FEMA style. RV’s don’t hold up well being lived in continuously, and nothing in them is built to house-quality standards (such as heating system and upholstery comes to mind first). I came to think I’d be warmer and more comfortable in a tent or a cabin that I could heat with a woodstove instead. Indeed, living in my RV sent me off on a path of exploration I’m still on to build housing out of straw bales and mud instead – this would make warmer, more comfortable housing than any RV. I hate to encourage any 3 people to want to live in a 8′ wide trailer, just based on my personal experience trying to do it with one person and his dog.
