    Okay maybe bit more than 1 million but I wouldn’t need much to live comfortable. Hell I watch a guys YouTube who travels the country in a van seeing amazing sites and living it up. And he does this all on a budget of like 1000 a month.

    He traveled all the way to Alaska and it was an amazing playlist. Makes the life I am living seem so pathetic.

    • I used to watch Cheap RV Living with Bob Wells for years. I even ended up living in my RV for about 4 years while gainfully employed. I will say what you don’t appreciate from YouTube is the sheer boredom day to day and unexpected repairs are brutal. Mechanics want like $100-$250/hr for labor, plus you have parts.

      Not to mention stealth camping has never felt completely comfortable to me and getting called out of my car once at gun point by the local sheriffs office was enough to chase me into KOAs.

        I own RV park and have lived in a RV myself for years. But it was always in RV Parks. I now own a RV repair business and know all about the repairs needed for an RV. Good thing I can do those repairs myself.

        I agree just parking out middle of nowhere is not something I could always get behind?

        Sure like to hear the story behind that. Cops would scare me more that a robber.
