I would imagine a RV is much like a boat. what I really liked was that we did not have tons of "stuff". Besides all the beauty of the water, the peacefulness etc. My only regret is that I never was able to live on it for a year as I had always hoped to. They have to children in CO and they visit each family but stay in their RV so they have a bit of peace and quiet when they need it. Other friends use theirs a lot to especially when they go to Colorado from CA. One couple belongs to a club and they travel to different areas a couple of times a year with their club and really enjoy it. Hi gail, I have never owned an RV but know friends that do and they love them. I would definitely rent one to see if this is something you would consider doing. All in all, depending on where you go, how long you travel and how long you spend on the could be a wash as far as costs go. The up side is RV's have a high resale value and campgrounds are cheaper than motels and cooking your own food is cheaper than eating out. The down side to an RV is the cost to buy one and the cost of gas. I know that I have a clean bathroom to go to and don't have to worry about finding a place to stop on a long stretch of interstate. You can stop and relax when ever and where ever you want. I prefer my DH's cooking.Ĭomfort while traveling will be better in an RV. Cooking our own meals saves us a lot of money! Paper plates makes cleaning up a breeze. Depending on where you want to travel, you won't be finding cheap motels at the National Parks and resort areas.Ī cooler is a good idea if you don't have a RV, but a refrigerator, freezer, microwave, oven and stove top really makes eatting a lot easier. I don't want to have to lug them up and down stairs. I don't want to have to pack and unpack a suitcase everytime I chance locations. How often do they wash blankets in motels? Like starrsville pointed out, I like sleeping in my own bed, with my own sheets, pillow, quilt and a mattress that I know will be clean & comfortable. What did you want to bring? How will you bring it in a car? RV's are smaller than a motel room, but then you have the great outdoors for space & room. You say that the lack of storage in an RV worries you. The last 12 years we've had a 23 1/2 foot class A motorhome and it's perfect for two people. We have had some kind of RV for the last 28 years. I was going to start a blog and figured in future I would be contacting RV Parks - I was looking for something entirely different when I stumbled upon this.Rving isn't for everyone. Such a great learning experience - and SO MUCH to learn. We also had begun to explore ways we may be of service to vendors, RV Parks. We have also taken opportunity to boondock and to meet some wonderful people at campgrounds/RV Parks. We actually have set aside our time June 24 thru Sept 18 to travel from Vegas up through Tahoe into California then down CA-1 to learn about various business services needs, etc of RVers. We had our office in our home and now have full-service office set-up in our motor coach. My husband and I are newbies as just started full-time in our motor coach April 1, 2011. The independent contractor situation might be fine but it does need to be researched. You might only be able to deduct one days RV park fees since that was the only part of the trip that was work related. Then you the rest of the week sightseeing in that area. You spend one day working on the sales job. An example could be you go to an area and rent a campground space for a week. Your expenses may have to be divided between business and personal. But not every mile you drive may not be deductible. If you claim a milage deduction you best have a daily milage log of your business trips. The key to a tax audit is that you must have documented everything. Liability coverage usually included defense costs from someone wanting to sue you even if the situation is unfounded or someone, or their attorney, is on a fishing trip to try to get money from someone or anyone.īeing an independent contractor increases your chances for a tax audit.

Worker's compensation insurance is your responsibility. Some tax rates are higher since the employer does not pay any.
