Guest guest Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Mayleen, do you know how one would figure out how much power they would need, anyone know? Looks interesting because maybe you wouldn't need to 'rent' a space to park it, at least all the time. > > Some have backup geerators, there are solar panels for RV (careful instalation required so they do not cause a leak) > > http://www.mrsolar.com/page/MSOS/CTGY/rv >  >   > God Bless !! > dragonflymcs > Mayleen > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Another question: how secure are these to live in? I would imagine that would be easy to break in to. The doors look more fragile than car doors. There is so much violence in the country right now with people out of work, etc. That's the main reason I never considered living outdoors. I love being outdoors but sleeping outdoors 'by myself' is another matter entirely!!! My house is on a quiet, safe street with neighbors I have known for 15 years. However their is alot to be said for an RV in my circumstances. > > Some have backup geerators, there are solar panels for RV (careful instalation required so they do not cause a leak) > > http://www.mrsolar.com/page/MSOS/CTGY/rv >  >   > God Bless !! > dragonflymcs > Mayleen > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 220v.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 I would think if you feel safe in your home you can have one in your back yard.  IMHO, I would place one if I could in my back yard.    God Bless !! dragonflymcs Mayleen ________________________________ From: barb b w <barb1283@...> Sent: Wed, May 5, 2010 8:07:06 PM Subject: [] Re: Living in an RV  Another question: how secure are these to live in?

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 When I lived in a 20' camper, I had the lease allergies in my life. I highly recommend it to sensitive people. I have aspergers, and therefore, major toxicities, so my immune system reacts easily to toxins - like most autistics. You can get a 30 year old camper for less than $2000 in some places. The panelling in campers is ideal. Drywall is toxic. I know from experience. My camper leaked in the roof right in to the tub. I repaired it, and mold never became an issue. I never had a problem with any allergies to anything in that place. Even dust. The only problem w/ RV's & campers is that the walls are paper-thin, so the car-booms and traffic noises go right through the walls. the doors can be forced open easily. There's not much room, but there was enough room for my dog & I to be quite content. > > Someone sent this to me, not about water damaged building but he remembers me talking about considering staying in an rv. > Where does the electricity come from or don't you have any when it's parked some place like this?

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Thanks Mayleen. I don't have enough yard to park it in the yard and there is a rock wall across the yard anyway, that I couldn't drive over, so no way to park it on my property. Their is no parking in the front of my house either due to fire hydrant and also street is narrow and only allows parking on one side, which usually is all 'parked up' due the fact everyone has to park on the one side. Besides my neighbors would probably complain to the city if I parked an RV for anything more than a few days, because it's view property so instead of the view, some people would be looking into the side of an RV. I wish I could. That would be convenient! > > I would think if you feel safe in your home you can have one in your back yard.  IMHO, I would place one if I could in my back yard. >  >   > God Bless !! > dragonflymcs > Mayleen > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
