Is There Better City Living On A Boat?
There are plenty of alternative living situations in New York City, particularly for those who are brave and/or not picky — there's a trailer park , tent city and shipping containers , to name a few. But remember those kids who lived on a houseboat in the Bronx? Sure, their boat wasn't a perfect solution nor an ideal living situation — but what if a better floating abode were available? The ...

With the miserable winters that so many places experience, it's no wonder that so many retirees flock down south to warmer climates rather than stay for the sleet and frost in the north. As with any lifestyle change, it's good to have an idea what you want and need to be happy with a life on the road.
The biggest decision that you will make when deciding how you're going to spend your RV time is that of what sort of RV are you going to travel in. Whether you choose a motorhome and vehicle to tow or a trailer/fifth wheel towed by a truck, there are some important things to consider.
The number one most important issue is that of space in your RV. Many fifth wheels and motor homes have numerous slide-out sections to make the RV wider. This can give a lot more living space to your traveling home.
Your needed space in an RV isn't just space for moving around in though. Make sure that your vehicle has enough storage space for what you really need to take with you. If you have any medical equipment like portable oxygen for emphysema or a scooter, you're going to need the space to put it.
Some RVs now come with small laundry facilities. If you don't mind stopping at laundromats once a week or so, and storing a week's worth of dirty laundry in the heat, then you might opt for more storage space instead. It's well worth the money for many people to have the convenience though.
The kitchen set up may be important to what RV you choose, especially if you enjoy cooking. Some RVs may have a much roomier set up in the kitchen than others and may contain quite a variation in appliances.
Something you might also want to look into if you enjoy watching television in the evenings, is installing a satellite dish so that you can follow your favorite shows. You may be able to buy an RV with a dish already installed if you buy a pre-owned vehicle, but it is relatively easy to install one yourself on a new RV as well.
To best enjoy your time spent on the road, make sure you take the time to really think about what options are going to serve you best and make your RV time most enjoyable.
