great idea… too bad RV’s are not designed for long term full-time usage, and the repairs become substantial, and parts can take a month+ to come in. in the meantime you need to find a place to stay where you end up.
I think repairs seem daunting until you actually start making repairs and realize how simple they are.
i had an old winny and the repairs are basically unscrew this piece, screw in new piece.
everyone else with an RV seemed to be able to do the same part swaps just as easy.
If you want someone else to do it, that’s fine, but unless you’re doing a tire rotation or replacing an engine, common repairs don’t present any real hurdle if you have a screwdriver and a wrench.
youtube and forums had step by step instructions for anything I ever had to fix (fridge, 2 fuel pumps, cleaning carb once…that might be it).
under a hundred bucks in repairs over a couple years vs. no rent and saving almost all of whatever income you have adds up to savings pretty quick.
everyone in the RV communities is helpful too and are hapoy to troubleshoot with you and tell you exactly how to do anything with whatever model you have.
or just shoot rhe shit and recommend the next cool spot, haha
