r/rvlife

So my bf has to move on limited notice to start a new job, and long story short, has decided to go in the “live in an RV” route, for multiple reasons. It’s been something he’s wanted and considered doing for a long time, and now seems to be the perfect opportunity rather than looking for short term, cheap rentals that’ll take 2 small dogs until he gets acclimated to a new job. This is something he’d rather stay in for years. Not moving around, but renting out a site, yet can still move if the job doesn’t work out. Since this will basically be a primary residence, how do you go about registering everything? Any tips/tricks/advice on getting this started and legit? He hasn’t gotten an RV/camper yet, but is shopping for one now and is quite familiar with using them for extended periods of time as well as some basic maintenance and repair. So any tips on that are welcome as well. Affordability is the biggest factor…he’s pretty handy with general maintenance, repairs, basic construction, engines, basic plumbing/septic/electrical, etc.

Looking for an RV bidet

We have the $40 Luxe bidets installed at home and they work fine.

I'm wondering why a company is selling bidets called "RV Bidet" at over double this price?

What's so special about theirs?

For those of you who RV all across the US and Canada but also fly home to a home base or travel internationally, do you often change your storage spot to be closest to the airport that you will be departing from / returning to?

Hi guys. I have a situation that i am having hard time to decide. Finally im getting divorce sorted out soon and will be selling a 4br huge house that i never needed as a “single man”. Houses are selling very quick in my area so i will be out of here in about a month i assume.
I always thought of rv living but havent spent a night in one. I have a business that has huge safe lot outside, gated and stuff, i will park it literally next to the building. Parking, hooking up etc is not a problem. Also, Christmas season is extremely busy, we spend a good 14-16 hrs a day at the warehouse, usually sleeping on the couch tbh. I have no financial problems to rent a house but, i am planning to go overseas after Christmas and god knows when i will be back. At least 5-6 months that i will be gone. So renting a house is pointless. I have place to store my current furniture etc as well. I am thinking of buying something cheap that i wont really care after few months. I want to stay under 10k. It pretty much evens the amount i will be paying for rent.
Some concerns i have are;
1- my cat. I don’t know how she will be in a small space. She always lived in a large house since I found her on the street. Will she be awkward?
2- absolutely no idea about rv brands, quality, maintenance and all. What should i be looking at?
3- will i have hard time living in a small space. (I know i sound like a brat by saying this). But i literally never slept in one.
4- anything specific that i need to know to hook up water and electric to an industrial warehouse?
5- this will be a stationary rv, not planning to move it. Do i need insurance? What kind if so?
6- i am in GA. It doesn’t get extremely cold here but still, how bad would winter be?

Thank you so much in advance. Sorry for bothering y’all with noob questions.

We have a Springdale travel trailer with solar. Our battery keeps going out and I'm not sure what the issue it. The battery, the converter, or maybe a loose wire? Any advice would be wonderful.

I’ve had two deals fall through due to my request for an RV inspector that I hired.

On Wednesday my offer was accepted. They asked when are you coming in to close the deal and I said that I have to order an inspector. The dealer said that they charge $220 p/hr for the time the inspector is there.

My prior failed inspection took five hours so I wasn’t comfortable possibly paying $1,000 on top of the inspector fee so I walked.

Then today when bargaining with another dealer it seemed like a done deal until i mentioned sending my inspector and the deal unraveled.

I know I definitely don’t want to buy a used RV without an inspection. Is this normal in the RV industry?
