We moved into an RV after the loss of our home back in March. It was quite an adjustment going from a two bedroom house into a very small RV. See we were very lucky and got on a work camper program were they allowed us to live in one of their RV's. To someone facing homelessness this was a true blessing.
The first RV we were in was a very old Winnebago. The toilet leaked and breakers blew every few seconds. Plus there was no hot water but it was a roof over our heads. Then after a month we asked the owners of the RV park if we could move into another one of their RV's. This one was a very old 30 foot travel trailer. Complete with window, door and window leaks. It also had a great view of the ground on each side of the RV where the walls were pulling free.
Here we lived until two weeks ago and this RV was our learning curb. The problem with this RV is it wasn't ours nor did the owners want to spend money on repairs. Then two weeks ago I found an old 37 foot travel trailer on Craigslist for $1400. Just let me tell you that you get what you pay for.
I will try to blog each update seperate for those wanting to know how to do these thing but I will tell you now everything that was wrong with the travel trailer when we bought it. The biggest problems were leaks in the roof and some poor prier leak repairs, rotted floor by the door in the main area along with major rotting in the wall above it, the rear door would not latch, the gas stove and water heater were rusted out, the toilet and shower handle were broken, it needed a mattress on the main bed and the bunk bed's mattress were gone, the fridge was missing, along with the microwave, the ac didn't work, and a breaker in the bathroom was shorting out all the electrical.
So why did we buy it? Easy we were technically homeless and this gave us a place we could fix up ourselves and call it home.
