We live in a travel trailer and move every 4-6 months with my husbands work. He does golf course irrigation. I cant say that I regret doing it. its been fun for the most part. We have three kids, 8 yr dd, 3 yr ds and 1yr ds. I dont think that we would have done it though if we had to pay for gas. Right now dh uses the company truck to move the trailer and company pays for gas. They even pay a small percentage of living expenses because its so much cheaper for them than a hotel.
We get to travel to new places, meet new people. I think its forced us to be more friendly and adventerous. Also need to be very concious of where you go. We go to rv parks and some are better than others. There are a lot o other things to take into consideration. Some roads are better than others for hauling a trailer or driving and rv. Laundry, privacy, neighbors and then the cost of traveling, living out of a trailer. We paid more for propane for heating than we did for electric heating living in a regular house. There isnt room to store up food so I cant buy in bulk like I used to and so food budget has gone up at least 50%. Also we had trouble findind family friendly parks. If you are not going to live in a park you should check out dump fees and city laws about where you can park overnight. Theres a lot more thought going into it than I initially realized when we diecided to sell our house and live on the road but I would do it again. Not everyone has the opportunity or courage to.
