Topic: Possible Places To Relocate To In The Future

If you want an RV you are probably better off buying an old schoolbus qnd converting.it yourself as far as price goes. There are plenty of RV parks out there that have things like power and water hookups for only a few hundred a month, the same can be had for houseboat moorings.

I do have to agree that many RVs are underpowered leading to quick engine wear, and the costs are not cheap. I see lots of RV owners since they tend to use truckstops (pilot, flying j, loves, etc frequently have RV services) and some of the most expensive ones seem far worse than the onces that were converted from old charter and schoolbuses, I don't know if it is lack of maintmence from the owners or that the buses were designed for work, and breakdown less.

I knew someone who swore by thier $20k houseboat  paying like $200 a month to moor a houseboat near Seattle and that is as cheap as you could get near that city.

In most areas of California it's unlawful to live in an RV on a public street, it's also unlawful to have anyone live in an RV on your property for more than 2 weeks every few months.  You really can only live in an RV if it's parked at an RV park or you have a permit and you're building a residential structure on site where the RV is parked.

I have a buddy who lived aboard a sailboat for a number of years, he was able to pay his harbor slip fees but couldn't afford decent insurance.  When the Japanese tsunami came our way he was unable to get down to the harbor to take his boat out to sea and the hull was damaged from the dock repeatedly smacking into it.  It was a complete loss and on top of that he had to pay a sea salvaging company to remove the vessel.  He used to swear by sea living, not anymore though.

Omg kinda, lolz. But plz, don't take it personally if I end up ripping off your face, I don't know how spending a long period of time in a cramped area would affect my sanity. >.<

That's okay.  I've been needing a new face anyways lol.  I'll sleep on top of the RV.

California-This is where I WANT to move.  They have the most LBGT laws protecting us (even though it's not full proof it's better than nothing).  Anime expo takes place there so I can be right near it.  I could probably take the transit for the most part to get around so I won't need a car.  The beach is there and the surf seems decent if I ever wanted to get into surfing.  There's more diversity there and a lot of things to do there.  It's expensive, competitive, and fast pace though and I am not sure if I will be able to keep up.  That is my big concern but hopefully I can split rent with a few people there and cut back in other corners.

Same here, N.Cali around Ukiah . Once your out of the urban areas housing cost are comparable to the rest of the west.
