Had this idea for super cheap living. Build a large garage in a rural
area. In the winter park a camper inside the garage. in the summer
move it outside.
gives you large storage activity place with minimum of fuss and
bother.
just connect utility lines indoors or outdoors as needed, plus take
your home on a trip whenever you want.
I know its a wierd idea, but with the economy so sucky it would be
cheap:)

Nothing wrong with dreaming, but my 12 year old had more concrete
ideas when she was eight or so.
"Just connect utility lines indoor or outdoors as needed." What the
hell does that mean? If you have utility lines to a garage you have a
garage house. They exist all over already. You don't go moving utility
lines indoors or outdoors. Why not just move the camper around and
forget about the garage? Use a post office box and your bridge card.

Makes more sense to design a decent sized house properly and build it yourself.

Hell of a lot of fuss and bother every winter.

Yep, few want to spend the rest of their life in a camper.

I should point out connecting utility lines to a camper isnt hard.
its done daily at camp grounds nationwide. every time someone comes
and goes.
plug in power, connect fresh water line and dump line to sewer.
