Chapter 1 Camp Hosting

Seeing America On The Cheap! Camp Hosting Has Opened New Doors For Us!

I was able to retire at an early age, after putting in over 32 years and never late or missed a day. We decided, since we loved camping, and have been camping for most of the 37 plus years of marriage, we would venture into this new world of "Camp Hosting".

Check Out Camp Hosting, even if you want to stay 1 to 3 months at a place or area. Well worth it in many ways! From the people you meet with stories to the animals, nature and scenery. To the savings of money!

If you have a RV or as I call it, my little apartment, this is heaven on earth vacation! From TV, DVR, VHS, Satellite systems, Air Conditioner, heater, washers and dryers, dishwashers, bath tubs, showers, microwave, refrigerator, computers, to your own bed. Some have so much more in them, better than many people's homes!

Yes, I know I have heard, "Why leave my big, paid off home, with a pool, spa, huge family room, fireplaces, shopping stores, restaurants and stuff, in Las Vegas to live like a homeless person!"

RVing is an up and coming "Vacation Home", that you can change locations, instead of staying in one place so long, that you end up naming the trees! You sleep in your own bed, and I know you heard the horror stories about motels and hotels. Yes, most of the time you have to clean and cook, but when you balance that, we will take Camp Hosting everytime!

Please think before you invest all your life's savings into a RV. Many people we have talked to, sold their homes then put the money into their RV. Problem is, the RV goes down, depreciates every year, a home does not. So if you decide you don't like Camping, or years pass and you want to go back into a home,or after a few years the RV start needing major work, when you sell your RV it is worth so much less than what you paid for it!

Being out on the road, you don't want payments either! Buy your RV for cash, make sure you have a mailing address for any bills. Sign up at your bank for on line banking and do eBills. Make sure your Medical Insurance will cover you, where ever you are! Might look into insurance and companies that will handle your medications and ship them to you, most places we have been at, we would have to drive over 100 miles to find major stores. Your car/RV insurance is going to need to know where you are, and what you are doing, so they will fully cover you also.

We have a satellite system, so we have internet, internet phone, and internet fax company. As long as we have a clear view of the southern sky, we are in touch with the world. Our cell phone rarely works where we are! We contacted our satellite TV and had them put us on a mobile set up, so we can get the major channels along with our regular channels!
