I’m very happy to be a land owner. Just a few months ago I bought some land and now live in an RV on the land. Tomorrow we drive about 7 hours round trip and get the last of our stuff from storage. So happy to not pay that rent anymore.
We have fresh air, beautiful views, and tons of space to work on projects, free electric from solar, and soon free water from rain. I can’t wait to start our garden soon, then it will be free groceries.
Damn. Amazing. Are you in the States? What's your latitude/geography like? Do you have a water source, as well as electricity?
We are in Arizona, high elevation so it’s not as hot as the big cities. (Over 5,000 ft)
We want to order water delivery first, then collect rain water after we build a roof over the RV.
We have solar and it’s been enough for us so far, but I know when it rains during monsoon season that I may need a generator.
I'm assuming you mean petrol/diesel, but depending on how much wind you get and power you need, you might be about to use wind or some kind of gravity fed.
Living the absolute dream, that sounds like an amazing new venture and I wish you well in all of your future projects
