Question for full timers

We bought 7 Acres.

Just have a base camp. Even if you don't return for several years. You can find raw land for fairly cheap, 10k for an acre. Build a barn, or find one with an old barn. I'm sure there is family somewhere, ours is in Ohio.

Do you plan on getting sewage and power put in on that land?  If so, have you quoted or do you know how much that would cost?  I have some land in FL and we do have power there and a septic tank connected to a small room but no hookups for power or sewage for the bus and no idea what it would cost to get it.

Not answering your question but we locked our garage with my tools and personal stuff in it and rented out the house with all the furniture and linen and kitchen stuff included.  Arrangement is we can park the RV next to the garage if we need a fixed base for a month or so and I mow the lawns during that time to compensate for the inconvenience.

House rental has been good to have over the last 11 years and when the time comes to hang up the keys, we will at least have a house to come back to with 3 months notice. Repaint, maybe new carpet and some furniture and we can settle straight in. If we decide to live elsewhere, we still have the increasing house equity to help make a new start rather than relying on decreasing equity of a motorhome plus whatever investments and savings are left after the various GFCs have taken their toll
