ok here something i found out after renting a class c for a while and liveing out of it.
1- it was easlyer to live on the job site than travel back and forth but there was a few problem like getting elec to the home but i just ran a long power cord over to the power and got it that way
1a-dumping of the rv holding tank was done on monday and fridays of the week when the guy would come out to the job site to take care of the port pottys units
1b-food had to be gotten at once a week and i stocked up on items i was low on and got then at the store. we had one of the guys wife who lived out there on the site with us borrow someone car and go to the store if we need something she would come and get a list of items from us if we really need something..see line 8 for this part of list
1c-extra propane bottle where kept at the site for changeing out when they ran out .
2-go with a name brand internet service ..i use a laptop and a usb air card with a booster unit to get internet service for personal web surfing at some of the places i worked at along with phone service.. i pay extra in my internet web payment plan for about 10.gb total and it work it to me for not to go over the standard 5.gb rule ..
3-tell the police that there is someone liveing on site to keep eye out for you along with not getting that knock on the door about why you are here talk ..
4-learn to order food like pizza dureing working hours and keep it in the motorhome for later
5-get a sat tv for it worth it wait in gold on the nights and weekends
6-get a good high end mattress to sleep on for the foam unit in the one i rent was not good in the long run ..i went out and bought a new mattress just to get a better night sleep in the home..
7-sweep the areas around the motorhome for nails and other like things that can make a tire go flat and have to be repaired..i had the labors sweep the area every time when i can on the job site to live ..we had a couple of the guys who had tailers liveing on the diff jobs sites we where on and we allways had the labors sweep out the area where we where going to park the units. we would buy them lunch to do that for use..
8- doing larndry was a bit of a pain in the but and drying cleaning was sometimes a problem but we would pay one of the guys wifes who had a washer and dryer in the house to do the larndry and drop off the some of the dry cleaning as need and pick it up and bring it out to us..one guy wife she became the go for it person around the job site for the whole month we where there ..her husband found out she made more money than he did for the whole month that she was there for around the job site doing odd jobs. ..she would come on the job site everyday that we where there to do things for us..she got feed also if we wanted something to eat from a place she was allways told to get something for her to in the order ..she would clean the guys motorhomes or tailers to make extras money also ..she would run to store for us .. we tried talking her and husband to come on the road with us but he said no ..she would worked out ok..
9-i rent a car to go places like the mall and not move the motorhome around much once i was at the job site ..plus it did make trips to the see the town poeple about the job site a lot easlyer than trying to take the motorhome down to them ..
10-it was a little fun at times for i wanted to go out on a date here and there and i found it was a little funny at times to bring a girl back to the job site to a motorhome and have her see a darken place and go we are going there question ..but a lot of time i would tell a girl that i was dateing i live in a motorhome on the job site and if spend the night know that up front ..
like i said i learned to live out of the motorhome and in the future be looking at a earthroamer unit for liveing out of as full time homes.. but i will get a good mattress in the over the bed sleeping area and a few extras to bring on the road with for my use at job sites..
