FULL TIME Living in a camper! Legalities, tips and advice!

[@jonerton67]

You hit all the key points. Just got off the phone with my electrical contractor. Even though I have a well, they want to see an agricultural setup to give the permit to pull power. I am officially an avocado tree farmer. I farm 1 tree. Permit approved

[@TKCL]

There you go! It's sad they force you to make workarounds.

[@Bryan-es2tl]

It ain't much, but it's honest work

[@SpeedUpThatComputer]

Honestly the government ruins everything it touches. Used to you could be in total control of your house on your property if you owned such property. Now you have to go through complicated approval steps to do even a repair legally.

Your welcome

[@williamcantalamessa5231]

We have a couple friends that are doing the Same thing y'all have Done in past couple years and they still haven't gotten half of what you all have done. (Guess they are happy with what they have) Thank goodness for a Blackstone, we love it. Every county in Florida is different for living in a trailer. (5 acres or 10 acres ,is there a well , what type of electricity, temp or with a (forget what they call it ) Hard to believe y'all don't have a million plus a billion subscribers. Y'all good people's

Thank you very much!

[@bigwavefla161]

Great information Andrew. The first thing I purchased for my property was a tow-behind camper to install under my pole barn. I do not live in it but it is where I stay while on the property. My single wide is storage and we are currently talking to builders for our new home. Wish me luck in these trying times. Like you we got a good deal on an older camper....stepping stones my friend.

[@hrlee2381]

Outstanding video. Wow! that is one tiny bathroom. I understand why you are enjoying that large shower in the house.

[@TKCL]

No kidding! 😁

[@pampilgrim2274]

Hi, Andrew and Tiffany! You both deserve your new home after living cramped up for so long.

[@TKCL]

We think so too! 😁😂

[@radmilamiljanic5977]

Very clear and concise explanation, I'm sure you've just helped lots of people!

[@TKCL]

I hope so!

[@CarolJDeines]

Oh Boy… ! Helped Me A Lot !!

[@Crown_Point_Ranch]

Good job touching on a lot of important points! As you said the laws vary per state, county, and city. Here you need approved building plans before you are given an address. No temporary above ground holding tanks are allowed. I built my home on 80 acres in the foothills 15 years ago. Now we are considering selling it and RVing (at least part of the time) on our other adjacent 80 acre parcel. I'm getting pretty old and not sure about starting over.new power, water septic as most have become both harder to do and way more expensive than they were then. I think your video will help me in my decisions. Thanks!

[@kathynorby5096]

We had a 38 foot trailer that had two bedrooms. We were seasonal at a campground so we loved it. We did hate the small bathroom too and the small bed. That was hard so I could never live in it full time with a family of four. We loved going there but loved coming home too. 🤣😅

[@TKCL]

I completely understand!

[@OldCritters]

Excellent video we have lived in our 31 ft fifth wheel for 9 years before we moved here our container house is underway but you did an excellent job explaining things but your right everywhere is very different. Luckily we had an address even in the middle of nowhere our parcels were in a subdivision. Excellent info Andrew. 👍💞

[@TKCL]

Thank you very much

[@maemccleary3283]

My husband and I are thinking of doing just this. We have 30 acres of farmland we want to build on, and we're sick of paying rent every month. Thanks for all the great information!

Im sure your experience has saved a lot of people tremendous frustration 😊

[@TKCL]

[@rongray4847]

Hi Tiffany and Andrew that was small quarters to live in long term. Thankfully you had your garage or out building. You have done well and built your beautiful home. Love your videos and Sunday live. Take care. 🇨🇦

[@TKCL]

Yes it was! The outside space was key!

[@jakjensen710]

I went and bought a 27ft keystone conquest for my wife 2 year old and I. We lived in it for 2 months and I lost my mind bought a 40 foot carriage by cameo. Lived in that for 2 years no issue. It really is the layout. The conquest was 100 square foot about with the same size bathroom bed and living room. My cameo was 15k more than the conquest but totally worth it in design insulation space and bathroom/ kitchen/ living room space.

[@TKCL]

Always go big if you can afford it. Some don't mind small spaces, I HATED our small RV bathroom. Everything else was fine with us.

[@Carol-tq1fb]

And thank you for posting such an informative video of trailer life for all people that think it's glamorous.

[@TKCL]

Hey y'all 👋🏽. Great video packed with valuable information. Some of the stuff you mentioned, I had no clue about. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

[@TKCL]

Thank you for watching!

[@douggrace5986]

You covered things that I have not heard from other commentators. We are setting up our farm to bring in our RV that we have parked in a RV park. We are looking at all of theses things. Water, Electricity and septic. We have a 3 phase electrical service that supplies electrical for a 30 hp water pump that is 600' deep. They want $12,000 to make things more residential like replacing the 30hp pump to a 3hp pump. I put in a 1000 gl holding tank and a 3/4 hp above ground pump to service the RV. That should be more than enough to capture the 400 gallon per minute and soften it down to fill the 48 gl bladder tank with a 40/60 pressure switch. Its difficult to deal with a Florida permit office but with voices like yours that has been there and done that we will be able to get this done. Thx for taking the time to let us know how to do theses things.

[@TKCL]

Glad you found it useful.

[@PauloFilho-j1q]

The best video out there. I do not understand all these you-tuber that cannot put together information like this.

[@TKCL]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@dougdavis4439]

Really great information Andrew. Who would have thought so much is involved in staying in a camper while building your home. I'm certain many will benefit from this my friend. Not being in that situation it's still very interesting learning about it. Thanks!

[@TKCL]

Thank you very much, glad you found it interesting!

[@conner3542]

It's absolutely ridiculous. I'm tired of the government telling me what I can and can't do on my property.

[@LatitudeSky]

My old house had a bathroom not much bigger than that bath closet. Now your huge new shower makes even more sense. Hope the white PU truck is yours. It would be well deserved in my opinion. "If it's not my money, sure, spend it!" is one of my favorite sayings.

[@TKCL]

That old white pickup I bought probably 12+ years ago. It's a 2001 and still as reliable as the day I bought it. No new pickup trucks in my future, they've priced themselves out for me.

[@jamesbromstead4949]

Tiffany and Andrew, Congratulations on moving into your new home. I've enjoyed the videos of the build. And hope to see more projects in the future.

[@TKCL]

Thank you for watching and the support

[@ironsales5669]

Thanks for the video this was really good information. I was considering the cost of the RV washer drier and then saw your video and it makes sense to simply build an accessory building for these things and keep as much out of the camper as possible.

[@TKCL]

And you can use those full size appliances later on if you build a house.

[@DanSkinny]

Had a car crash through my home and nearly kill my family. We are doing okay these days but we just bought that exact camper and plan on doing the same thing you just spoke about. Can't thank you enough for posting this!

I love reading where someone says they are moving on to someone's property for whatever reason but nothing is said about oh, I don't know, like hookups? Unless someone has had the land set up with permits for rv hookups, not using the main house for electrical,, and plumbing, things can go bad fast.

@ Still trying to figure out the mailbox situation.. or lack of! How do you guys receive mail if planning on traveling for long periods of time?

[@ExecMoose]

Problem for me and my wife is that we won't have an "escape" like y'all talked about. Plus my limit financially and physically for my 1/2 ton pickup is a 27ft bumper pull, since I don't want to pay for a 5th wheel receiver. I also have no plan for how long this might last, or what to do after. I just know my lease is coming to an end quickly (2 months) and I need to get something figured out. I refuse to pay 800+ per month plus bills for a small apartment that won't even let us have our cat. A lot with water, elec, and sewer hookups for 260/month sounds way better.

[@TKCL]

You go to do what you have to do. Any sort of outdoor space, even a cooking area and picnic table helps. Campers can feel like a coffin to a lot of people if you stay inside them all day and night. Some people it doesn't bother.

[@ShadyOaksFarm]

Andrew your camper bathroom is a suite compared to ours! 😂 Besides the things you touched base on we had/have to contend with cold weather. That means freezing pipes etc. We ruffed it this winter and kept the camper out all winter. A many a times we would run out of propane in the middle of the night.l and would have to go outside and switch tanks. One other thing you have to make sure you have plenty of propane on hand!! For awhile I had to tow mine 30 miles every couple of weeks to dump the black/gray tanks. Hopefully soon we will be getting our CO. We are still doing finish work! House looks great!

No doubt I didn't hit on everything, it would be a hour long video. Been there done that with the frozen pipes and propane.

Wow Andrew that was some good information there. You touched on some information that people probably would not have thought of or know what to do. Living in an RV camper full-time or part-time makes a big difference & if you don't have things pan right it could spell disaster. I know exactly what it's like living out of a camper because a truck 🚛 is a camper to believe it or not. Very small and not a lot of space. Especially the trucks 🚛 that have the stove , the shower , the bathroom , microwave. Very good video man. You take it easy buddy.

I noticed your permanent decal is in Florida. Do you know if that varies by county? In Levy county, they’re not letting ppl live in RVs until you have a septic and power first and even then you have a limited amount of time to get your home built.
