Tiny living

As the summer started wrapping up, I started exploring options for where I might be able to call home on the weekends while my house was rented.  Remember that gypsy living thing...yeah, it was real and as I pushed more into weekend rentals, I started looking at some options.  I have 2 acres and felt this would be ideal to build a tiny house on but wouldn't you know it- local zoning laws prohibit any additional buildings built on property less than 5 acres.  So I had to start thinking creatively and economically.  How can I have a weekend retreat while complying within zoning laws and not breaking the bank.  So, I started exploring self-contained tiny houses on axels but turned down the idea based on simple economics.  People were asking outrageous prices for super small spaces.  Granted they were ADORABLE but I needed practical and enough space for 2 adults, 4 dogs, 1 cat and a newly added guinea pig.   So, I started researching RV living and decided that was probably my best bet.  There were zoning laws about RV but they were within reason and I could easily be within compliance.

So, the journey began to look for an RV.  What size do I want?  Do I want slides?  How much do I want to renovate or update?  How old is too old?  What shape seems to work best?  Will it last?  Where will I put it? Hmmmm....lots of questions.  Stay tuned for the answers.
