Thanks Brasscatcher for checking in on my thread! We set a goal to move to a different part of cali (Chico) where I have family and getting the 5th wheel was a step that would help us get there faster then trying to rent and save to move, this way we can have a little nest egg , so when we move we can pay rent space at a trailer park for awhile (later down the road maybe put a down on a small house) and find local jobs there and not be stressed on how to find income.

I've also done 3 months of tent camping while working for Amazon.com out in SE Kansas back in 08'. You will save up a bunch of money living this way. Need any tips or advice on full time living in a rv, feel free to pm me. Its something I enjoy and have been doing or around for the last 10 or so years.



Either way good luck to ya, I look forward to hearing more of your scrapping from a 5th wheel. An that truck is sweet. :P

Sirscrapalot - Still looking for that right rv.

Right on Sirscrapalot! It really did cut down on my scrap storage moving into the 5th wheel dont have a backyard to store stuff in anymore, but the upside is there 4-5 scrap yards within a mile of my new location so my way of scrapping will just have to change from being able to break stuff down alot and getting full profit to just snagging certain items that are easily reached and rest will go in the metal bin and just take what ever i got at the time in, instead of stock piling metal and taking it in as a big load....it will be interesting for sure!.......I personally like living in rv's/trailer's myself lived in a travel trailer for a number of years myself , this will be the first time tho for the wife but honestly i think she likes smaller dwellings also, we had a 3 bedroom house and it was just to much space for us and a dog(our kid), only really used the garage and lived most the time in the master bed room, then we moved into a 1 car garage(which is pictured in this thread on page 3) that was converted into a studio/small 1 bed, and that was perfect for us space wise for the past 2 years, and moving into the the 5th wheel we really only lost some walking space compared to the converted garage and the back yard.....when we move i a year or so our plans are to still live in a rv/trailer so either the 5th wheel will becoming with us or maybe upgrade to a newer model!dont know if you ever did anytime of rv remodeling but i do have a couple questions on updating a trailer as far as inside lighting and other things so ill shoot you a p.m
