You me and the RV
At the$850k price point I think I would stick with a waterfront home and a long driveway/parking pad for the RV. But it is a beautiful resort!
Agree, No i would not spend that kind of money on a small lot.
We bought in Naples Florida, the lot included a lanai, shed with washer and dryer for 130k. Amenities include 2 clubhouses, 3 pools, tennis, Pickleball, bocce, golf course and many activities. (Community and friends included!) Property taxes run $900 for the year and HOA fees of $2800 a year split and due quarterly.we pay electricity 50 to 75 per month depending on usage. Sewer, water and trash pick up are included in HOA fees. You can find a rv lot to fit your wallet…..whether it’s 25k or 850k if your looking for a home base or some where to winter this is a great option!
We bought a spot in one that is 20 minutes away from our home, it is in a forested area and feels like you are camping it was only 22k and we keep our RV there all year long with only a little over 100 a month for dues. totally worth it :D
May I ask where that is?
@@linpedigo4964 Washington, I believe there are alot of sites to buy around the country that arent super expensive, and will have less amenities than a lusxery site, but have great things about them. For me it was hard to find online different lot and communities. I think I looked at 4 communities nearby and settled on this one (nice pools that are heated and clean, several great playgrounds for my youngest and a large wooded spot where it feels like camping ) I hope you find your spot you love :D
@@linpedigo4964 Tennessee/Western NC is a good area for this as well.
Las Vegas… don’t gamble but still one of my favorite destinations. Airline Pilot and have traveled extensively throughout the entire world but haven’t experience much except airports, hotel rooms and restaurants. After a while, it just all runs together; food tastes the same, hotel rooms look the same and airport terminals all look the same irrespective of your location. I enjoy you guys sense of humor (can tell you were both in the military as I was as well) and am living vicariously through your videos. So keep’m coming and a little over one year away from retirement. Thanx to you both, I hope to do the full-time RV once I retire. Thank you for the education and many times, making me laugh.
I was a tour bus driver before retiring 10yrs ago. I was able to see the better parts of Canada and USA but hotels and food got very boring. Drove a bus39yrs so can’t see me driving one on vacation, but happy trails to you
I'm a former flight attendant and completely agree about hotels and food.
@@rhonda5167 Same here! It got to the point of all the crew sitting at a restaurant table for breakfast, all of us looking at our watches scratching our collective heads and asking each other "What city are we in? What time zone is this? What day is this?", etc., etc. Been there! Done that! Stayed in the same hotel in some other city!😂😉😎👍🇺🇸
@@dennispalmer6007 Dennis , this is so much different. You was told when and where you had to go. You saw what there was to see at places others wanted to see. You'd have to agree you go and come on your schedule in your RV. Even what to eat. In your RV you choose when and where to go.
Thanks for your service!
What were in?
Signed: Navy wife & Navy daughter
The sacrifices you two make for your subscribers! Salute!
Right
Wow guys!! Way to take one for the team!! The hardship you endure for your community is admirable!! 🤣. Great video!
We are there for you!! 😂🤣😉
I bought a 2 bed 2 full bath in an active senior gated golf community 60 miles from vegas. HOA includes activities, water and golf. Rv parking on property is 30.00 a month. The house is being prepped to be a snowbird rental since I haven’t hung up my keys yet. Thanks for keeping me on the lookout for new things.
We own lots in Fort Myers, FL and Petoskey, MI ……. Great weather year round.
Interstate 75 top to bottom!!
You lost me with the first con. I cut my options for buying a home in the greater Houston area by 2/3 when I said "NO HOA" to the realtor. I don't want someone else telling me what I can do or not do with my property.
We bought one in Arizona, The Palms in Arizona is a classy resort where you own the deeded lot. We got the lot for 39k so we felt we couldn't loose. It is a fun party place. No manufacture homes. All casitas are stucco and fit the resort look. It has all the amenities you showed in this park + some.
Great video.
I'll check the place out, thanks.
There are tons of benefits as long as the price point is within your budget. There are a lot of new gated communities in Florida for considerably less. There is a great rental market for these both with your rv or just the lot to rent out to rv-ers. Was my favorite pro.
You all are awesome thanks for showing both pros and cons.
Tom and Cherie from Enjoy the Journey had some videos a while back, maybe a year, about renting one of those spots in FL, it turned into a nightmare for them, you had some really nice spots, Amazing 😻
Good review guys. My wife and I have been doing the same for some time now; staying at 5* resorts. Excellent experience, although a little more expensive, but well worth it. We too will not be buying one any time soon, as we like the ability to stay at several of them through the year. Keep the vids coming, we love them.
Phil you are a riot of traveling full time! Stacie is your keepsake! in travel. So glad you two share your adventures with us! Hard to believe what the prices are for full time RV'ers.
Excellent vid! I really appreciate seeing different options for the RV lifestyle.
Yes. Please do more luxury RV resort reviews. This video was so fun to watch. Also, Happy Birthday!!!🎂
Thanks for the great video. I like to compare the total cost of RV site with a RV vs a retirement home. An average retirement home in a nice community in Florida is about $500k which in my opinion, it is equivalent to a $250K RV site with a $200k luxury RV. Tho you do have a larger space, you are confined to a permanent location. RV allow you to vacation any time and always have a place to come back to.
Well said!
Wow! That’s a nice place, but if I had $850k to invest, it would be somewhere waterfront with much more privacy. Love that you do so much to support veterans.
My husband and I have stayed at that park a few times. The first time we were there that $850,000 site was only $500,000 (2 1/2 years ago). We will be spending a couple of nights there again next month.
Having rented here numerous times it is fantastic, definitely my favorite. About 5 hours from home. The rates are not as high as you might think. From very reasonable to spendy, depending on the builtouts on the site. The staff is very good to help you to fit your style and budget. And vets the military discount is the best I have ever encountered. There are age restrictions on class A only also. Its is definitely a class in it self.
Happy birthday Stacy,and wish you many more and keep on going🙂
I'd rather buy a lakefront or oceanfront house. That's insanity
WOW!!! That place is freaking amazing!!
So beautiful !
Love the channel we will be full time RVing when I retire. The sooner the better. Stay safe.
Happy Birthday Stacy! Nice way to spend it! We are in the process of buying alittle over 10 acres of land as we have sat in place in our RV too long, actually it is so we have a place close to our daughter's family and grandchildren. We sold our 64.5 acres and now found 10.01. We will be constructing a barn to park our RV in over this winter.....we are supposed to close on the land by the 30th. We will stay through the barn build then hop back out on the road for travels. So our nomad FT life will be like other's who have a place to park if disaster strikes or if we just need a break from travels. It will be interesting if you buy a lot and where if this ever comes to be.
Fantastic video guys, love watching.
Thank you that's been on our mind for a while thank you
"Knowing my surroundings" == "Situational Awareness". I'm with Phil!
We would be very happy to have you guys as neighbors. An "observant" neighbour is a good thing! Cheers the Two Tasmanians.
It's not "knowing my surroundings " - it's called "situational awareness!"
GO NAVY!
Great video guys! When your in the western NC area, check out Mountain Falls. The lots on top of the park are 1.5M! Go in the summer, it never gets above 80 degrees there
Great video once again. Super cool once in a while to stay somewhere like that.
Happy Birthday Stacey! Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for covering LVMR... Look forward to some of the suggestions in here being covered. I've heard HOA fees at LVMR are $395 per month...
Glad you stayed at LVMR, we're proud owners lot 290.
Aim High Air Force
Nice. We REALLY loved our visit there. We would have loved to have chatted with you. Go Navy!
Keeyaw! Y’all are great ball players, because y’all cover all the bases! You guys come up with da BEST ideas. Seriously look forward to seeing y’all every week! Ayeee! SW La fan 😁
Appreciate it!!
Great video as always!
Wow what a place. Thanks for the tour and the info.
Lots of info! Thx!!
Super cool video you two. Purchasing an RV site is very expensive. I didn’t know it would be that much. It’s nearly the same price as a house. I was entertained for the entire video. Thanks for sharing.
Another fun fact filled video. Thanks for taking one for the team.😀
Any time!
Great video review of rv lot investments. Aside from the rising temps these days, one possible thing to add is consideration for possible water shortage. LV is already hot enough and gawd forbid if its future involves water rationing.
One of the MLS lot listings ($128.5k) shows HOA fees of $495/mo (annualized 4.6% of the lot price). Also, the RV park tends to take a pound of flesh (typically over 30%) of any rental income under the what's your's is really there's rule. Cha-ching!!
It's $395 and they take half but all you have to do is cash the check. I've seen places that take 60%.
Thanks for the tour and info
Thank you for the great information that you provided through out your trips, specially about owning an RV site with the Pro and Cons. Stay safe.
Glad it was helpful!
Great content!!!
Wow incredible! What a price range! Thanks for sharing your knowledge! 🖖🏻😘🙏🏻👍🏻
OMG! What a beautiful, yet expensive resort! Not for all certainly, and reminds me of my brotherinlaws place in Indio CA, he wsa a snowbirder witha Class A, but with the economy ans such, had to sell at a low period:( I was amazed how much his HOA dues were, even it not using it to support the pools, spas, clubhouse, golf etc. Great sahre and all the BEST to both of you! Safe travels and CHeers :)
*Stacy:* @4:14
*Phil:* God Bless America.
Looking good you two, in your new posh digs!
WOW! What a nice place to stay. Thanks for taking us around. BTW, Phil's sound level varied throughout the video. Maybe it was the position he had it in. Stacy's level was great.
I absolutely LOVE your video productions. So professional. One day when I grow up I hope to do that... lol. (Im 70) We are just retired and a photography/video aficionado... been for many years... I got into drones about 3 years ago (I know... late to the party) and currently own a Mavic Air 2.... great little drone. (what do you guys use for your shots... those too are just so professional) Thanks for the time you take to put these together. I know LOTS of folks enjoy and look forward to them. Stay Safe and keep em coming!
Thank you! Stacy works really hard to make sure they are edited professionally. We have the Mavic Mini and love it.
We stayed there last week for three nights and loved every minute of our stay. Fairly close to the Strip if you’re into that thing but far away enough to enjoy the beauty and quietness of the resort. Great review and information as always. Hope to catch up with you at the Balloon Festival.
Dang, we just missed each other. We will have announcements at the balloon fiesta about what we will be doing and when. Stay tuned.
Enjoy my old stomping grounds… Balloon Fiesta ❤️❤️❤️ not my year to crew 😢
Great video guys!
Happy Birthday 2022 Stacy!!! Interesting video guys, as the traditional "nomadic" lifestyle is kind of 180 degrees opposite of what this resort offers. I appreciate the honest pro's vs con's. So thank you two for highlighting this options for newer RV'rs and/or retirees. For me personally, I would rather have a true "sticks-n-bricks" that generates income with the benefit of utilizing it off-n-on throughout the year. Beat Army!
Happy birthday Stacy!
We loved that resort and really enjoyed the restaurant as well. Nice video.
Great video thank you 😊
Wish you were on Rumble!! Can’t bear watching CZcams anymore…going to miss you guys!! 😭
Awesome job y'all
Great video ! A new way to think about RV/owner
We agree!
Happy Birthday 🎂
Great video!
Great video & I hope the Balloon Fiesta & G-A-W was good for you two! This resort looks pretty fun, but seems a little too fancy for me.
Nice of you to take one for the team!
Wowzers!!!
Love your videos.
Wow - Impressive - thanks for the tour. No way I'd ever spend that $850k on a RV lot! I used to rent a seasonal site in NJ shore years ago for about $4,000 a year but now I prefer going to different locations. Thankfully, our converted cargo camper is so SMALL - we never have an issue with finding a campsite. Thanks again for the lovely tour and forcing yourselves to partake in all their activities. LOL.
We bought a lot in Virginia for 10k and thr value is now almost doubled. Property taxes are less than 1k. HOA is around $900 but that covered security, life guards, boat doct etc. We are allowed to build on our lot if we like. We intend to keep it as a retirement spot in the future.
Do you have to get a new RV every 5 years? Alot of RV parks where you buy your own your RV can't be older than 5 years old.
HDB! Looks like you guys had a blast.
Lou & Angie
Whew, outside of my price point. I’m glad someone can enjoy it.
All beautiful places and they all at least take good care to have well groomed and maintained landscaping, particularly I noticed how neat and trimmed all the Palm Tree's are which is rare tisee them without the dead frawns building up on them.
Here in Ca we store our Travel Trailer at the resort (don’t have to pull it), we pay a monthly rental which is very low and for a fee added on to the camping fee they pull it to our spot and put it away when we leave. This suits us very well and is on the pacific coast beach.
Sounds like you found a solution that works out great for you.
If you like Las Vegas Motorcoach then you will LOVE Motorcoach Country Club in Indio, CA. It is another level up!
The fees must be huge lol ! Incredible park ! Will you be checking what they have in Florida ? Safe Travels guys 💙
We’ve stayed there many times, beautiful resort! You two should plan to visit Motor Coach Country Club in Indio if you want to see what people can do to a RV lot.
Added to the list.
@@todayissomeday I have been to both many times. Indio is amazing! At Indio we had our own small pool and hot tub in our site looking over the golf course!
I could never afford that, nor will I be able to adopt! LOL But I do enjoy your channel and you've just made my week by saying you'll be at the balloon fest!! I've been waiting for someone to mention they'll be there! Looking forward to your video! Safe travels!!
Great video
Way to take one for the team.
I ended up buying my own lot in Texas which I’ll be occupying soon, I’m only a few months away from semi retirement. I have already sold the sticks and bricks and have been much-docking for 10 weeks now while I finish up my career..
I bought a lot mainly due to Covid kicking people out of places, I did not want that issue,. I bought the wintering place and I’m looking for another area for summer or I’ll spend that time going to different areas.
Check out Trailsend in Chincoteague va as your summer spot. Very nice area!
@@lisamckinney4167 thank you I will look into that.
Don here (Army vet), we will be at the Balloon Fiesta from 10/7 to 10/11. Looking forward to meeting you both, really like your videos
Looking forward to it Don.
Wow, love it. to bad not for 5th wheels.
Thank you for sharing but I gotta say…kind of a bummer to get halfway through the video , only to find out the beautiful RV resort you’re referring only allows Class A Rvs. Safe travels!
Not much privacy if there are many people year round, just a thought. Not mentioned are what the heck are the hidden fees? There has to be monthly maintenance fees, and maybe some crazy type other hidden fees? Most likely the state and town want their cut to. It might make a big difference in whether or not you can even afford to purchase one of those places.
Loved that you did this video. Purchasing is something I e been kicking around for a while. Not at $850K, but something…somewhere. 😂
Hey guys, hate to say it but your Class A looks right at home!
We think so as well.......Someday.......
When I finally get to fulltime, I plan to buy a little stand alone lot in the country and put hookups on it. That way I'll have a home base in a familiar location in case of...whatever may happen.
We're doing the same!👍😎🇺🇸
@@marymason9981 I'll also put up a sturdy shed so I can store the few treasures I want to keep and save the storage costs.
@@wanderingstar3498 Fantastic idea! We have our plans in mind. We're going to order ours, a Tiffin Red 360 37 BA. We are going to wait until things slow down a bit before taking the plunge.
Kalamazoo is a company that makes stainless steel kitchens like the one you showed. Keep the rubber on the road.
Great video guys beautiful space I never knew you can do that well I guess now we all know thank you guys 👒⚓
🇺🇸🇵🇷 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼
Glad you enjoyed it
Ohhh great.. now the wife wants to visit this resort. Well I guess that means we are on the road again soon enough! Works for me :)
😂
The Great Outdoors, Titusville, Florida!!!
Happy Birthday
Very interesting u youngsters, fab content at uzual😃
If you want amenities and community but dont want to pay property taxes, or have to spend a lot of money consider a an Escapee SKP Park. I have a lot in Jojoba SKP Resort, Aquanga, CA. Your investment comes back when you leave the park and the monthly cost is very reasonable for California. There are other great SKP Parks in Washington, Oregon, Arizona, Texas and Florida to name a few.
What a great vid, Phil & Stacie! You didn't mention the cost of the hookups. Do owners get a utility bill each month/quarter? And for those who rent their sites, do the owners add in utility costs to the rental agreements?
Thanks for "taking one on the chin" for your peeps!
It varies by site.....we were in a premium site that was $180 a night. Some sites that had nothing other than a pedestal were $150 a night. Owners do get a bill for some utilities and HOA fees. The owner and the resort split the rental. We would assume utilities are rolled into the rental fee.
Not on a public safety pension 😂 I’d be happy with a spot somewhere warm in the winter for under 50k with some rental potential to off set taxes and HOA’s. A pool would be nice. Other than that, I don’t need much. ✌🏼
WOW!
All depends on your $$$, age, and plans.... we bought at two parks next to each other the same day in Naples FL off 951 about 20 years ago.. sold 1 about 6 yrs ago... doubled our money, always rented in season too. Built a mfg'ed home on the 2nd. Still have the rv... 135k miles... store it now after driving there from MI. Half of 530 lots there now mfg'ed homes. Life changes... btw, we have 3 pools, golf course, 2 clubhouses, lots more.
Hope you got your military discount at LVMR? For years they offered a nice one. Almost bought lot there about 6 yrs ago. Since then lot prices have doubled! Lots of things to do, there and just outside the gate including tons of shopping & a great casino with an awesome buffet. Yes there’s a lot rental program, but the HOA takes a big cut and monthly owners fees were very high. Like you, in the end we figured renting was a better option. Hope the slots were nice to you guys!
We did, thank you!
The only amenities I need are trees, a campfire and a beer LOL. Great video
I wish!😄
We are fulltime and I have thought about a rv lot as an investment and a winter location.
Try and air fryer in the RV. You can bake in it.
