Extreme Personal Finance: From Penthouse to RV
So what’s it like living in an RV? It’s fantastic.
It’s very cheap. Utilities used to cost at least $500 a month since I was on the top floor and had floor to ceiling windows. Now I pay nothing — my solar panel generates enough electricity for daily use. Once a week I drive less than a mile to an RV park and dump my tanks and get new water. That costs $5. I have broadband internet access from Sprint which costs another $50. Full insurance is $100 a month, which doubles as car insurance. I get my mail through Earth Class Mail for $30 a month or so. That’s it.
I’ve been intrigued by this idea since last year when I read about a Photoshop Guru buying a motor coach and hitting the road. Ditch the house, pare back the possessions and hit the road. Don’t think it would work with my current day job, but I could work swimmingly with my freelance business.
Still. Not. Worth. It.
