I’m thinking about buying a used camper (19, or 20 ft) to place on my farm/hunting property. I’d like to spend an occasional night there in the fall and winter, but never when it’s hot. Hopefully talk my wife into joining me. But there’s no electricity, well, or septic system. It’s about 20 miles from my home, not too far out of town. My buddy is interested in sharing 1/2 the cost, but he would use it occasionally for taking trips in the nearby mountains, but never too far, within a couple of hundred miles. I have no problem sharing ownership, as we jointly own many farm implements, as well as ownership of the farm.
Not having any experience, are campers self contained enough to leave at the property, spend the occasional night there especially during hunting season, and not be too much trouble? I have a nice quiet Honda generator, and a 300 gallon cistern there.
Would solar help? How about dumping sewage and gray water? How often and where? It’s a 300 acre rural property if that matters.
Thought about building a rustic cabin, but without electricity or water, just don’t see that being wise, plus really don’t want to have to go through the building permit process. I’d like to keep it under 10 grand, but I see many fairly decent used ones in that range. Would this fly and if so, what should I look for?
