Should we live in a RV full time while my husband travels to different job sites?
Q. My husband will be assigned to different job sites for 2-6 months at a time, then we'll come back to our home base for a few months in between. He will get paid extra for his living expenses while on the job site. Instead of just throwing this money away to a hotel or corporate apartment, we were thinking about living in a RV (we are thinking about a 5th wheel with 2 bedrooms for $15-25k). That way, at the end, we'll have a RV paid off, or we can sell it & make some of our money back. Financially, I think this makes sense. However, I want to go into this with my eyes wide open. What are the pros & cons? Cold showers? Safety? What would you estimate are the monthly or yearly costs for upkeep, gas, rent, etc?

A. My husband traveled often before we became small business owners.We considered your option in the past so the family could travel as well with him but did not go through with it. My husband cut his living expenses in half and we invested the difference. Accomodations on RVs can range from cheap to flat out ridiculus not to mention the cost of diesal fuel. Would you prefer resort type RV facilities or mobile park? Daily-weekly-monthly charges for hook ups-gas, sewer line.Hot showers are possible depending upon your RV accomidations. A considerable amount of parks offer shower facilities. Children? Consider school changes. Most decent RV parks have such nice communities. Some online RV communities offer a comment line from past visitors.Hope… [cont.]

Is renting a motor home for travel thru the UK country side a good idea?
Q. I'm from the USA, and thinking of taking a trip to the United Kingdom with my wife. Were excited about the seeing the history of the land that our Great Great Grandparents came from in both England and Scotland, plus time allowing Ireland. Plus we would like to see some old castles and other ruins like Stonehenge, and ancient battle fields, etc. etc. I am very familiar with motor homes and RV's in general. So would renting a motor home to tour the UK be a good idea? What about camp grounds, or open land camping? Not to mention the safety of sleeping at night in a strange country in a motor home? Or would I be better off, renting a car, and staying in hotels? Any advise you can give will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

A. Caravaning (British term for RVing) is quite popular in the summer all over Britain. There are a lot of campgrounds - and it seems to be rather family oriented from what I can tell. Just remember - you will be driving on the left-hand side of the road and that gasoline is very expensive (roughly $5-$6/gallon). (I assume from your screen name that you are USMC - so if you have been in Japan - it shouldn't be a problem for you.) Also, some of the roads are very narrow - and you may find it difficult to get past some on-coming vehicles on side-roads.

Can anyone recommend a good (safe) portable heater that will heat a 275 sq ft R.V.?
Q. The heater in my 34 ft. Fleetwood RV is no longer working and I don't have the money to repair, or replace, it at the moment. I live in West Texas where the temps drop into the 20's and 30's in the winter. I've been searching for a good floor heater that will heat the entire R.V. with a highly rated safety system. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks! Ron Safety is a big issue with most floor heater models, but also need to find out how big of a unit would be required to heat 275 sq ft, without having to use multiple units for each room.

A. look for a space heater that will shut off if it gets to hot, or gets tipped over
