Janean Posted November 14, 2021 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 I'm looking she moved back to Cali, but I'm going tout there and buy an RV, travel trailer, destination trailer, 5th wheel I actually have no clue. I want to buy an RV lot that's not so expensive. I have a dog and I think having my own lot I feel a lot better for her she gets to run around like I'm fence it off and most RV parks don't like bigger dogs and she's not very social. Maybe a long-term lot till I can purchase one. Fine, please help 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whj469 Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 There are some very nice ones in CA. I wouldn't call them inexpensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinx & Wayne Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 What areas of this adventure require our help? Travel routes to Cali? Buying a RV? Finding a park? Keeping your dog in a RV park? Domicile? Truck advice? Something else?

Janean Posted November 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 Hello, Oh my gosh, thanks so much for responding, I think the main issues I'm having is finding an RV Park that is pet friendly, because my dog Jynx is not very social, but also, would love to find a space I could rent thats a little secluded/private for long term, or possibly purchasing a lot that I can fence in. Also, its just me so maybe a travel or destination trailer so it would be a little easier for me to handle. By the way, Love your name (Jinx) and thank you, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, I've looked at a few, very expensive, and one place told me you are only allowed to live at the park 9 months out of the year. Is that correct? Is that the law in Cali?

Janean Posted November 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 Hi there, I am open, but, would love to stay on the outskirts of San Diego or Los Angeles, way on the outskirts because it's so expensive. I'm even considering Nevada because its less expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2gypsies Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 (edited) Yuma, Arizona may be better for you.... cheaper and a lot of RV parks. Many RV parks don't allow certain breeds of dogs. What is yours? Good luck finding a reasonable place!

Might help us if we knew what your experience is or what you are willing to consider. Your working with pretty open ended subjects here. Some live in converted vans($800/month to live pssible) all the way to semi-trucks with 53' converted trailers(way more than $800/month), and SO MUCH in between. You tube has lots of personal experiences on this subject with very good perspectives on each type of situation being so unique.

My wife and I spent the Summer of 2020 in Yuma (Wellton)... with good advice & help from this Escapee's Group... It is tolerable. We purchased a lot, installed an RV Port (Roof cover), and made sure we had a backup plan if our A/C failed. Our highest Electric bill was $207/mo. Good luck.

It's a tax thing mostly. A park that provides temporary parking gets taxed and managed differently than one that provides full time residences. 9 months is the cut off value so those folks have a regular rotation between a couple parks.

Janean Posted November 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 LOL, I'm not usually, but this is something completely new to me, and I'm probably going to make several mistakes, but, hopefully not too big since it will be my new way of living, but, Yikes! I am excited at the same time though, 🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My biggest mistake in starting out was getting too much stuff that I didn't need. That was the product of not knowing enough bout what I was doing. You have started with a forum of folks who know quite a bit. They are helpful. You should manage OK. Jinx says thank you. Until we retired she went by the name her parents named her. No one could pronounce it consistently. No one could spell it consistently. No one could remember it consistently. When we retired and she no longer ran the office she decided she would go by another name. It is working well.
