It seems you are at the whims of the local market that is lacking houses you want. The people that bought my last RV were doing exactly what I just said.
That would be great for a single person, but I think Will already has a couple of kids. That's a tight fit for a 5th wheel or RV, for any extended period of time.

We bought a bumper pull ex FEMA trailer for one of our guys to live in when he was having marital problems, and he lived in it for close to a year, until his situation resolved. We lucked out and sold it for about what we bought it for, so the idea is good, I just don't know how it would go with that many people. Plus, they would have to rent a considerable amount of under-air warehouse space to store their stuff, although I guess if they had raw property they could buy a 40' shipping container or two for that. Still, they would have to at least have the containers cut so a window a/c could be installed so their stuff doesn't mildew.

I always thought it would be cool to live on a sailboat for a while, but the same problem with storing your stuff would come up, and I don't think that would be conducive to the safety of little ones.
