But not sad crying, oh no. Ya'll just have to listen. So, tonight, I called up my brother in law, and started talking about the snail.

This right here, is the snail.

Now, I asked him, how much it would cost to insulate it. And there's two ways of doing it. One is internal. But it weighs down the frame, and in the end is expensive and not worth it. The other, is external.

You build a shed, overlapping the motor home by a few inches. Put two big doors in it, and cut out holes that match the exact position of the windows on the motor home. Put windows in, and boom, double pane windows. Insulate the shed thoroughly, like a house. And drive the snail into it. In the future, if I wanted more space, I could build extensions on the shed.

Only 1000 dollars.

What about the inside?

See all that ugly fake wood? Rip it out, and glue genuine hardwood in place. It wouldn't cost much, because the snail doesn't take up a lot of space.

Now then, what about heat? Rip a cuboard out, and put a small woodstove in. But get this. Just get this.

My brother in law has one. And he doesn't use it. And he's given it to me for free, chimney and all.

And, last but not least, what about power?

Motor homes use two batteries, one for powering the engine, and one for what most call the "house."

My brother in law as a metal tower, and a special wind vane, along with an alternator meant for charging batteries from the wind vane. And he'd give that to me for free.

Make shed, move snail, set up tower, use one battery, and when it's out, use the vane to charge it while you use the other. In one shot, I'd have everything.

All I need is property. But it's all right there. By next year, my life, could be upside down.

I can't. It's too much. Can't stop laughing. Can't stop crying.

All I've gotta do is reach out and make it.

that is actually more spacious then i imagined

"25 feet long, what could go wrong?"

You're tunig your RV into a home?

I could. Easily. All I need, is one, single piece of land. And everything would fall into place. I could build a shed for the RV in a week. Replace the wood inside in 3 days, tops. Install the stove and wind vane in one day.

nice.

I'll live with you.

stop invading my sex life

Wow, that is an amazing goal to work towards. =^.^=

I am glad to hear that you are happy, and that RV looks very cozy.

My gut was right, when I bought it two years ago. I'm not a traveler. But there's nothing stopping me from making that my home. Or rolling it out of the shed if I ever wanted to travel. And it's in perfect condition. And I got the damn thing for 1200 bucks.

See now you've gotta bring me over so we can start trying to find a way to augment ourselves with the RV

And then you make additions, a 2nd floor perhaps? a nice balcony made from the top of the RV? the possibilities are limitless, and with enough time, and good management of the interior, you could have a bitchin house out of that RV and a shed... but it's still technically a shed.

That's awesome man!
A "mobile home", literally
