Where in Utah did you buy? You told me but I can't remember. More towards Hurricane right? My wife's cousin bought a Winnebago Solis. I think they start at $140k.

My wife's cousin bought a Winnebago Solis. I think they start at $140k. Purchased some acreage near Apple Valley. Also have a few parcels in southern Arizona. I haven’t made a decision where I want to settle. That’s about right for a Solis. Class B rv’s are still selling strong and holding their value.

To be fair you bought an off grid camp and won’t put your money in the bank. Also I would love to have an off grid camp so I’m not being critical whatsoever.

Also I would love to have an off grid camp so I’m not being critical whatsoever. I bought the camp because it gave me 1200 feet of frontage on ITS 85, a multi use trail in the heart of sled and XSX territory. And because you can't get 30 acres and a camp, yes, outfitted with solar, for the $40k purchase price. Off grid was simply because running power poles would cost 10x as much. It is off grid because it is in the middle of nowhere. I take 10% of our money from the bank every month. Having good cash on hand saved me thousands over the past year. Paying cash for the floors saved me 13%. Paying cash for the kitchen saved me 10%. All without having the bank send out a red flag for me taking out $10k plus. I will admit I don't like my money under the scrutiny of the banking industry and the IRS.... but 90% (monthly) of our money is there, so that little piece of fiction you are swinging on is something you took hook, line and sinker from Stevie. Or are you under the assumption our 401k money in my mattress? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Water rights are viewed as property in Utah. Water rights came with the property. It’s a small, 5 acre plot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be fun for a while I wouldn't want to do it long term but for 6 months or a year I think it would be helluva lot of fun and get to see lots of great back country areas. I have zero interest in high populated areas, hence why I live where I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
