WHY A TRAVEL TRAILER HOMESTEAD?
Posted by homesteading on September 16, 2006
Why would anyone want to leave town, and move out to the backwoods into an old travel trailer? Well that part is simple, freedom and privacy. You simply can not do what you want while living in town, to many rules, housing codes and regulations to contend with. To many noisy people watching your every move, to much going on around you for true piece of mind.
Why a travel trailer? Well for one thing you can find a good used one for $2,000 or less, depending on where you look. Before purchasing your trailer be sure to check that it has a working propane refrigerator, sink, propane cookstove, shower, toilet with a leak free holding tank, usable water storage tank and hot water heater, and be sure all of the lights work, check the 12-volt lighting system. Everything in the trailer must work or it is not worth buying!
Travel trailers are easy to transport to your new homestead and easy to set up once you get there. They were made for the backcountry and with a little work give you every modern comfort of home…
