Years ago, the idea of living full-time in an RV was viewed by most people as a peculiarity limited to a small number of individuals, most of them retirees. With the advent of the tiny house movement, more people than ever have chosen to live in travel trailers, fifth-wheel trailers, and motorhomes. They like the idea of living more simply without a big house full of things, but they don’t necessarily want to be tied down to one location with a frame-built structure or even a mobile home that isn’t actually mobile. RV dealers in Des Moines help people find their dream home on wheels. It’s a place that truly is mobile but also can be kept in one place for a large part of the year if that’s desirable.
With an RV providing living space in the range of 300 to 400 sq. ft., individuals and couples enjoy the comfort of a living area about the size of a small efficiency apartment. An RV purchased from a facility such as Imperial RV Center might have a separate bedroom, and it also offers other sleeping accommodations. A combination kitchen, dining, and general living area is standard. There’s no need to own real estate, which is nearly always the case with a stick-built tiny house. Most people with mobile homes either own a lot, some acreage, or rent a lot at a mobile home park. Those structures technically are vehicles equipped with wheels and axles, but they are only rarely moved. In contrast, RVs offer freedom. The owners can pack up and leave whenever they feel like it.
In general, people who live full-time in an RV stick with moderate or warm climates because the trailers and motorhomes aren’t well-insulated. In addition, the windows and frames aren’t meant to provide sufficient shelter against freezing temperatures and bitterly cold winds. The RV owners might live in a northern region for much of the year and move down south for the winter. They have the option of spending time in various places, experiencing life in a mountain town, a beachside locale, and a desert oasis. RV dealers in Des Moines help them begin this adventure.
