Americans Can No Longer Afford Housing — So They’re Moving Into RVs…
The housing crisis is pushing more Americans to rethink what it means to have a home. As housing costs, rent, and everyday expenses continue to rise, some people are turning to RV living as an alternative. But is this becoming a temporary solution, or a sign of something much bigger happening across America?

I grew up living in a trailer, loved it, loved rain storms because sound of rain hitting roof was like inside a drum. Also loved sound of squirrels running across roof. But that was in the 1960s long before meth heads took over trailer parks. If you are retiree consider volunteer work at national parks, you would get a place to park your RV while volunteering.

Campers are ok until it gets cold. Propane will eat you alive. Campers aren't made to live in permanently. They will not hold up.

I have an rv (paid $500) everything works that i live in and a van. Im lucky enough to own land but im off grid solar propane and water barrels. I love my rv I live in a woodland paradise. Im 53 and work part time at a clock in job. Its enough to keep me warm gas and food.

RV parks are very expensive to live and most cities outlawed parking an RV overnight ?

The new American Dream is having a car or a storage space to live in. Having your own fairly decent cardboard box is the new middle class.

Rvs are extremely high maintenance. Never ever let your roof start leaking, inspect it every 6 months, and put a new finish on your roof every year and that self leveling calk biodegrades and leaks .stay on top of it .thry are NOT insulated hardly at all, which makes them hot in summer and cold in winter.

If truck drivers can live in their semi, a camping trailer is like a castle. I did it for 30 years.

What kind of driver's license do you need for an R.V.?

I’d argued that kids that live the tv life style would be better off than kids that live in the city
I mean look how kids are nowadays something we’ve been doing is wrong time to change it up
Go back to homeschool and live like a nomad

Thirty years ago I was so broke I lived out of my Mustang in a 24 hour McDonald's parking lot. Be grateful you have an RV. Get your act together and stop blaming everybody else but whose responsible, YOU.
Work 40 years and be grateful you have something to show for it.

I will be glad when home prices are forced to be lowered after the coming crash. The last thing I want is to live in an RV or even a manufactured home. I feel bad for everyone forced to choose this option.

We have no freedom. Move to a developing country where you can slowly build yourself a structure to house yourself similar to how they do in Mexico. You can’t even afford to get through permitting in the United States.

I love living in my RV and the freedom that o have. Sooooo I know to some it may suck but not everybody.

12:26 I felt sorry for the lady; if I had been there, I would have told her to swap her car for an electric one or a trailer, since the CO2 (carbon) from the engine is toxic.

WRONG!!!! This is the only housing they can and could ever afford. NOW they can stay out debt and build their home. The debt system is the problem. Everyone has been brainwashed to keep using the debt system. Stop it!

It is shameful that this country has abundant housing but refuses to make it even somewhat affordable

Not surprising at all. I guess this is now part of the American dream – to own and live in a home on wheels.

RV parks are becoming outrageous as well. The RV parks I've lived in charge over a 1000 a month not including electric. I got rid of it and moved back into an apartment.
