RV living week 3

So, week 3 of living in RV. We are docked at Country Veiw Campground, just outside our hometown of Mukwonago, WI.
 We do know the air conditioner works quite well in 100 degree weather.
Sure am glad there is only the monthly rate. We are paying $475 a month and have electric,water and sewer. I think that is a super rate.
  The park is located high on a hill and if not for the severe heat we get a good breeze and would not have to run a.c. to much.
 They do have a small pool, nothing fancy-but it was clean. The road entering is a bit rough, makes me wonder why they need added speed bumps.
                                              Oh, and a little petting zoo to.







                                                                                                    Seems a nice quiet park. They do not do the weekend features that many private parks do. About the only thing is  when concerts are going on at Alpine Valley. Jimmy Buffet weekend is always booked far in advance. Overall not to bad a place to call home (for a bit).
   We have been very busy tying up loose ends before fulltiming. You can't get real numbers on insurances more than 60 days out. We do have our auto and camper insurance set to change to South Dakota Aug. 20.   That is when we will get our South Dakota licence and register our vehicles there.
   The reasons people choose to become South Dakota residents are:
 1.) No state income tax
 2.) No inheritance tax (not worrying bout that one:)
 3.) No vehicle safety inspections
 4.)  4% merchandise tax. Only 3% on vehicles
 5.) Easy to obtain Drivers licence.
   They have one very strict rule to be a resident and that is you must show you stayed there for one night. Hotel or campground receipt is mandatory. And you have to do that every 5 years. Ooh tough.
 There are many people doing this so they make dealing with you very easy.
  The other main places people fulltime from are Texas and Florida.
    Had a good time Sat. attending a free concert in the park. Nice time with Wendy's bro and his girlfriend Lyn.
Wendy says that this is the type entertainment we will search out when we go fulltime.(FREE).

Thanks for reading- please comment in- and stay tuned for the next big news- (teaser).

  3. We will be using South Dakota as well - will probably be early 2013 for us. It's coming fast!!

    That is a great monthly rate! I wish the campgrounds around here had rates like that. :)

    1. The washers cost $1.00 a load and the dryers are $.50 for 30 min. Great compared to in town. $2.25 for a washer.

  4. PS You may get more comments if you take off the word verification - a lot of people won't even attempt to figure out the letter puzzle.
