Retiring to live on an RV is an option that potential retirees should explore. If you have had a smell of the open road and the freedom such a lifestyle affords, consider doing it full time.

Imagine the money you would save if you sold your house and used part of the equity to buy an RV. You do not have to spend all of your equity either. A $30,000 motor home can be next to a million dollar Prevost in the campground. You see the same scenery.

No property taxes; no massive utility bills; no lawn to mow; no snow to shovel; no house to paint; etc. I think you have the picture…life in an RV is a lot less stressful and time consuming than living in a house. In addition, it is cheaper.

If you have not seen all of the beautiful National Parks in America, it would make a noble goal to shoot for when retiring.

Another plus when retiring to life in an RV is the nice people you meet. You will find yourselves toasting each other on your good sense in retiring to this fun, frugal and fulfilling lifestyle.

We lived on our RV for 7 years; our other home was a sailboat in the Caribbean. We spent well less than 50% of what we spent living in a house…you should be able to live on 50% of your house expenses as a goal.

So if your early retirement planning does not include low cost lifestyles like living on an RV, check it out. You may discover you can retire much sooner than you thought. Now that would be a nice surprise. Enjoy.
