RVing Full Time (Government shutting it down)

     I have read an article that disturbs me a great deal. There is a New Regulation coming down the pipe that will change the landscape of full time RVing and gives the Government much more control over the movement of people in this country. It has all started with the rule dealing with Manufactured Home Procedural and Enforcement Regulations. Basically what they want to do is take away an American's right to choose their choice of living arrangements. Without going into all of the legal aspects of this “because it is just Government speak”. I will tell you the basics. If you are traveling full time in an RV, well they do not like that, if you are Retired and sell your house and buy a Bus or large 5^th wheel then travel around the U.S. They “The Government don't like this” Why? Because that is considered Off the Grid living. Code words for the Government to regain control over you and the people who choose to live this care free lifestyle. (My personal opinion is they just want Big Banks and Insurance Companies to get their fair share of money. And when you choose to scale down and are not held as slaves to a city or local or Federal Government they have tenuously lost control. And with the Government it is all about control. RVers need to fight this new regulation. If you want to get involved, then you need to write a response to this web site. 
https://www.regulations.gov/#!docketDetail;D=HUD-2016-0013

There is also a website that gives a better insight into what they are trying to do. http://www.theorganicprepper.ca/hud-wants-to-make-living-in-a-tiny-house-or-rv-illegal-03312016


The youtube video explains it in a more easy to understand format. So if you do not want Government overreach then write a comment to the Government website above.

Full Time RVing part 5

This write up will be about the big boys in the RV sizes from 20’ to 45’ and prices ranging from 30.000 to millions. You can buy one for just functionality or just for pleasure. You have two distinct models from Gasoline engine to Diesel Pusher. And in the more creative side they even have a toyhauler model. These RV’s are a large investment and maintaining them is essential. But when you get right down to it they are traveling homes. You can also tow a car or truck behind most of them. You can use a car dolly a flatbed trailer or a Blue Ox towing bar.

 List Price: $104,951

Sale Price:  $76,000

Class A 2016 Front Living Sleeps (5) 1 slides Fuel=Gas.

Class A Gas RV’s are very nice and amazingly very powerful, even with Gas engines. You get the right one you can even tow a pickup.

Now on to the Diesel Pushers, the big boys of the RV world.

Engine:

Cummins ISL turbocharged 450 HP engine 1,250 lb. ft. torque at 1,400 RPM

Slides:

4

Sleeps:

4 people

Fuel Type:

Diesel

Towing Capacity:

15,000 lbs

Don't Pay MSRP:

$482,406

No Haggle Price:

$324,112

Total Savings:

$158,294

Now the Class A Diesel Pusher is much more expensive, but for full time living it is the overall best concept. Still the one thing you have to remember is what is it that you need for traveling. So make a choice to stop by the many RV dealers and pick out what you would need. I wrote this to give a general idea on what is out there, when it comes right down to it there are many choices. Hope to see you on the road.

Full time Rving part4

     Today we will talk Toy Haulers. Even for full timers there is a type of RV for Bikers, four wheeler's and just work tools. Sometimes when you travel you do so to work. This is where a Toy Hauler will come in handy. They come in all ranges of sizes and styles. You can get Travel Trailers and 5^th Wheel RV’s at various prices. The average range is $15,000 and up. You get Luxury and functionality as well. Lets start with Travel Trailer version first.

Sale Price:  $18,000 Travel Trailer Toyhauler

 2016 Toyhauler Sleeps 4, 33’ long with 10’Garage.  This is a Heartland Model. 5300lbs. This is a great model for two on a trip or as a full time model.

Now for the full timer who needs more room this is where you would require a larger 5^th wheel model. They will also range in price from the mid-20s to 100,000 and up. Above is an example of the 5^th wheel model.

Sale Price:  $65,000

Fifth-Wheel 2014 Toyhauler Sleeps 7, has 3 slides 38’long and a Garage that is 12’ and weighs 15,864 lbs

These types of RV’s can get quit expensive depending on the model you choose. There is a company out of Missouri that builds them to your design called Space Craft. A friend of mine had one built to his own inside layout and wiring design. 5^th wheel toy haulers come in handy when you need a much bigger area to carry more stuff.

     No matter which one you choose it still comes down to a personal choice. You cannot go wrong with this type of RV because you have a place to live and a garage with you as well. So go to your local RV dealer and check one out.

See ya. Maybe on the road. Who knows.
