Theo had seen hard times before, and though this was yet another one, it was also one of the most perplexing times of his life, as he was basically living out of his Local RV Storage and various campgrounds and RV hook up sites. After losing his job during the economic crisis that was taking hundreds of thousands out of the American work force, Theo was really just kinda numb about the whole thing. He couldnt afford to pay both his mortgage payment, his car and his RV payment each month. While most people would have opted to go ahead and get rid of the extras, like the RV, Theo lost his home first, which was by no means a choice on his part. The RV was almost paid for anyway, but the new home that he had bought just a year before had turned out to be above his means. Being single and non attached, with no kids and scattered relatives across the country, he reasoned that perhaps the nomadic life might be the best one for him to experience right now. Rather than selling the RV and finding a new home or apartment, he began using the Local RV Storage that had housed his motor coach for so long as a home base for a while to see if nomadic living would be able to accommodate his needs. 

 

After a few weeks, he was ready to take off and hit the road, wandering across the country, where he hoped to meet other people like himself who were looking to start something new, a Revolution, perhaps, in living below their means yet maintaining a life of freedom and mobility, even so. After two months and several temporary roadside and campground homes, Theo had met so many incredible people. He was more than amazed to find that there was a grassroots movement back towards sustainability that led right to the nomadic trail that he had been following. He had strong hands and a good set of skills from which he could earn a living wherever he happened to be, so money, though scarce, was not obsolete. Far more important than money, though, was Theos desire to become utterly free, in as many ways as he could. Freedom was something that he had taken for granted for far too long. He realized that his home had entrapped him, kept him from moving and living and meeting and enjoying all of the wonderful moments that life on the road has to offer. Theo knew that he was free, finally and responsible for his own outcome.

RV is an acronym for recreational vehicle. This is also known as a camper or motor home. RVs can be drivable or tow able and range in my sizes, shapes and colors. Many people like small campers in bright colors while others prefer larger campers such as a fifth wheel or drivable rv. They can choose them in ordinary neutral colors or class it up with darker colors and gold accents. Many recreational vehicle owners store their vehicles at their homes, in their garages or on the street, while others choose to store theirs in a local rv storage unit.

 

Campers and recreational vehicles can come with many amenities. What is standard on some campers may not be standard on others. Some have the basic appliances such as a stove, small fridge, toilet and shower. Other larger vehicles, however, may come equipped with microwaves, built in large screen television sets, bath tubs and many others. The more amenities a person has in their recreation vehicle the higher the purchase price will be.  When someone decides they want to buy a recreation vehicle they first need to make sure they have the funding. If necessary they will need to secure a loan with a financial institution and make payments to them. They could possible finance it through the recreation vehicle dealer. They will need to make sure they have a place to store their new camper. If they are unable to store it on their personal property they will need to contact a local rv storage facility.
