I was trying to buy a condo, and didn't feel like signing a year lease on an apartment while I looked.<br /><br />It was borrowed from a relative, and it was pretty nice. I found the shower to be almost unusable because it was too small for me, but I'm a fairly big guy. I've also been told there's a big advantage to towing a trailer rather than driving something self-propelled, because there's less to go wrong with it, although there can still be problems.<br /><br />My folks sold their house about 7 years ago and moved into a class-A motorhome. They didn't travel much, though, they mostly just drove it north in the spring and south in the fall, and then parked for the season.<br /><br />Whatever way you end up going, good luck with the search!Andy Mckenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11381746284574559808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950664143576637249.post-45571272869494234942014-05-03T08:55:46.333-05:002014-05-03T08:55:46.333-05:00A few years ago a friend lost his job, didn't ...A few years ago a friend lost his job, didn't find new work until he was heading toward broke, had to sell most of his stuff to stay afloat, and ended up living in a tiny apartment for a few years. He felt it was, mostly, an improvement over his "well off life." "The stuff owns you, you don't own it." We have a lot of stuff to get rid of. T.W.

That you really did enjoy it over home ownership.<br /><br />I too, more often than not lately, think home ownership is over rated. sigh.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.com
