The school buses stop at the RV parks and pick up loads of kids and the trailer parks also are doing a good business in families. Near me, there's always a few RVs parked alongside the river for free and I suspect they are either fishing or gold panning (or both) for a living. For someone on a fixed SS income, the lifestyle could be an interesting option. If moved infrequently, gas costs would not be a big problem and moving with the weather has its benefits. It is also one step away from being invisible, as far as the PTB are concerned.signalfirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15318361590633535352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862216000300765627.post-61703871321251053182012-01-22T17:04:06.450-05:002012-01-22T17:04:06.450-05:00"I look at the RVs and think?

We have a lot of RV parks around here, and there are just kind of the same old crowds that show up in the summer and basically make camp until fall and winter roll around. <br />They really don't do a whole lot of constant motoring around, so they really don't end up spending much on gas, a lot of them bring motorcycles and scooters that they use as "shuttles" for localized travel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
