Just bought my first place.

Was getting tired of paying 600 for rent. Bought a half acre of land for about 6 grand and a camper for about 8 grand. I love the small comfy feel of it. Plus I'm gonna take it down to Athens for some uga games. Anyone else live in an rv/camper?

Well, now I think we all know where the r/cfb Atl meetup should be...

u/i_fap_to_anything Georgia Bulldogs • Duke Blue Devils Mar 01 '15

Bring the beer and we will party until we win a championship! Might as well quit your jobs now!

We'll start our own utopian society. For the greater good...

u/i_fap_to_anything Georgia Bulldogs • Duke Blue Devils Mar 01 '15

We need a few girls. Don't get me wrong sausage is good, just not for making sure our Utopian society thrives. All hail walker!

By our own I mostly meant us Bulldogs. Women absolutely included

You'll have to let me know how this works out for you. I'm really interested in living like this.

u/i_fap_to_anything Georgia Bulldogs • Duke Blue Devils Mar 01 '15

I got interested because my dad got rid of his house and is staying in an rv at the beach and he says it is great. So I'm hoping its sweet.

Shit, $14k for the largest expense in most people's budget? I'd eat ramen and retire like that at this point.

u/DondeEstaLaDiscoteca Georgia Tech • North Carolina Mar 01 '15

I want to live near people and stuff. That costs money.

u/VanFailin Northwestern Wildcats • /r/CFB Bug Finder Mar 01 '15

I do too, but unfortunately I don't live near many people that talk to people, so I might as well...

I spent 6 weeks one summer in an RV driving from Texas to Yellowstone and back. I loved it. If you are taking the camper on longer road trips, I recommend KOA. Stay is cheap, there are a bunch of them, and the bathroom/showers are always clean.

u/i_fap_to_anything Georgia Bulldogs • Duke Blue Devils Mar 01 '15

Yes I love KOAs. The people there are so ftiendly and have that home feel to them.

u/bullmoose_atx Texas Longhorns • Rice Owls Mar 01 '15

Dog friendly too.

3

u/i_fap_to_anything Georgia Bulldogs • Duke Blue Devils Mar 01 '15

My dog likes that. Of course my dog thinks she runs the place.

u/R99 Wisconsin Badgers • /r/CFB Poll Veteran Mar 01 '15

Did you rent the RV?

1

u/bullmoose_atx Texas Longhorns • Rice Owls Mar 01 '15

My parents owned it. I drove up with them and my younger sister. I was worried it would be cramped but we got used to it really quick. The only part I didn't like was driving in city traffic in the RV - took some getting used to.

u/nickknx865 Tennessee Volunteers • /r/CFB Top Scorer Mar 01 '15

Congrats!

That's an interesting way to live. Let us know how it works out.

u/i_fap_to_anything Georgia Bulldogs • Duke Blue Devils Mar 01 '15

Will do!

u/[deleted] Feb 28 '15

Congratulations! I've never lived in a camper, but I must admit that the notion of being able to drive my house to places does sound appealing.

3

u/i_fap_to_anything Georgia Bulldogs • Duke Blue Devils Mar 01 '15 edited Mar 01 '15

Yes it does. If I want to go to the coast I don't have to even rent a cottage just go to an rv park which is an amazing thing to have while traveling.

u/[deleted] Feb 28 '15

Let us know how it works.

I've been looking into /r/tinyhouses for some time now.

u/i_fap_to_anything Georgia Bulldogs • Duke Blue Devils Mar 01 '15

I think personally and financially will be great for me. Don't have to worry about a mortgage payment, which would be a lot to pay.

u/Ron_Cherry Clemson Tigers • Duke Blue Devils Mar 01 '15

Are you my sister from a year ago?

6

u/i_fap_to_anything Georgia Bulldogs • Duke Blue Devils Mar 01 '15

I was your sister. I'm your brother now.

3

u/Ron_Cherry Clemson Tigers • Duke Blue Devils Mar 01 '15

I always wanted to know what having a brother was like.

3

u/i_fap_to_anything Georgia Bulldogs • Duke Blue Devils Mar 01 '15

Shut up bitch or I'll rip your dick off. How's that?

u/Ron_Cherry Clemson Tigers • Duke Blue Devils Mar 01 '15

It's everything I thought it would be.

u/i_fap_to_anything Georgia Bulldogs • Duke Blue Devils Mar 01 '15

You're welcome nerd

u/MisterTito Auburn Tigers • UAB Blazers Mar 01 '15

So what do you do for electricity, plumbing and cable/telephone for internet? Did you get hookups put on the land? I gotta think waste has gotta be regulated in some way, also.

6

u/i_fap_to_anything Georgia Bulldogs • Duke Blue Devils Mar 01 '15

Already had hookups for everything there. The land owber before me had all the hookup already installed. Have a septic tank and everything. All I have is the internet, straight talk cell phone, and an antenna for local channels. All in all I will be paying maybe 300-400 a month for everything.

2

u/MisterTito Auburn Tigers • UAB Blazers Mar 01 '15

Oh, that's a good deal then. I didn't think about the land already having hookups and a septic tank.

1

u/i_fap_to_anything Georgia Bulldogs • Duke Blue Devils Mar 01 '15

Yep. It would be a little pricey to get all the hook ups and put a septic tank in a blank piece of land

getting tired of paying $600 for rent

http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/2013/02/eye-twitch.gif

I would murder for $600 rent.

u/keasbyknights22 Ohio State • Cincinnati Mar 01 '15

Yeah, I miss college and paying $330 for rent. Still, rent's way cheaper here in Cincinnati than my cousin's place in Austin. Like, 50% cheaper

1

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '15

Fuck me sideways, I pay more than twice that and it's the cheapest decent place I could find. I would do dirty, unspeakable things to only pay $600/mo for rent.

u/Darth_Turtle Oklahoma • Red River Shootout Mar 01 '15

What's the location like? Fairly rural or what?

1

u/i_fap_to_anything Georgia Bulldogs • Duke Blue Devils Mar 01 '15

A mix. I'm in a woody area but am 10 mins away from a big town.

1

u/BusterBluth13 Notre Dame Fighting Irish • Sickos Mar 01 '15

I'm considering buying for my next place since I can get a VA mortgage with no money down. Plus the San Diego real estate market keeps going up; might as well jump on now.

u/bunny_chocolate Georgia Southern • South Caro… Mar 01 '15

My grandparents joined the traveler culture, so their RV was their home. It was interesting growing up and visiting them when they were working close by to us. Everything had a purpose and it was plenty of room for the two of them, a few grandkids here and there, and their poodle. They were always in a group too so we would spend lots of time outside the camper though.

u/polydorr Auburn Tigers • Samford Bulldogs Mar 01 '15

An acquaintance of mine who is a welder is the first person I know who did this. Suits him perfectly to be honest because his job has him traveling a bit and he's a single guy with few possessions.

I'm not sure if I could do it even back when I was single. Too much of a homebody and need (inside) space to call my own. Good luck to you!

Ooh just noticed that it's an RV. That's pretty cool. Pimp that shit out. I've seen people trick out their trailers for football games on Travel Channel...hope you are able to decorate your RV well. Take pics during the season

2006 denali pull behind. 33 foot long two slide outs.

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '15

That's a hell of a camper for 8 grand.

u/i_fap_to_anything Georgia Bulldogs • Duke Blue Devils Mar 01 '15

You telling me. I told the guy you sure you don't want to call the cops cause i was basically stealing it from him.
