Out for 30 days, home for 30?

I think it might just be cheaper to get a regional job in an area you want to make home base and then rent a hotel for the weekends. Most RV parks are $800 a month in the winter and dont rent monthly in the summer, unless you are 55+. If you rent an RV campsite by the night you will spend $50-100 which is the same price of a hotel. A decent trailer is going to cost you 40-60K which if financed would put you around $1300 a month. There are apartments with more square footage that are cheaper than that.

Almost done with my CDL school and I am looking at going down south, maybe Myrtle Beach and working OTR 30 days on 30 days off. Instead of paying money for an apartment every month where I wouldn't even live half of the time, I am thinking about buying a fifth wheel RV and leaving it at the terminal with it hooked up to my pickup truck. Then when I am off I could park it at an RV park for cheap and essentially have a home base for all the partying I will be doing for the rest of the month until I go back to work. Hotels are expensive especially down there and if I am only going to be working "part time" then I need to be careful with how I live

A hotel, even a cheap one will be more than rent.
