Motor home may stay on lot for two more years
After listening for nearly an hour to pro and con comments about a motor home being used as a residence behind a business site west of Augusta, city planners voted 4-1 Monday to permit Robert and Beverly McCalla to continue using the RV-style vehicle as a residence for at least two more years.

Motor homes are becoming an increasingly popular purchase for many people who want the freedom of the open road and the benefits of cheaper travel. The main benefit of motor homes is that they negate the need to tow a caravan, making journeys easier and parking a breeze. With the option to drive all day in comfort and then simply pull up in a scenic location to rest your head the benefits are clearly there. For those considering a purchase, or even planning on hiring one for a holiday, it is hoped the following article will provide some essential information.

In general motor homes are divided into three distinct classes. These are classes A, B and C. Class A vehicles are regarded to be the most opulent and large while classes B and C are smaller and contain fewer amenities respectively. In most cases Class C vehicles will be the cheapest although prices to vary greatly.

Class A motor homes are normally the most suitable for longer holidays and extended living. This is because in most cases they are more comfortable and have amenities such as full kitchens and complete shower rooms. Additionally those who are planning to travel with a relatively large family are best off utilising a Class A vehicle. Despite the size of these vehicles, modern variants are surprisingly easy to drive and handle. An added bonus is that the driving seats in these types are extremely comfortable, allowing for long journeys in a relaxing space.

The decision to buy a motor home should only be conducted after careful consideration. In the majority of cases hiring a vehicle for a holiday before deciding to buy is an advisable course of action to follow. When looking at which to hire, compare it to the models that you are considering purchasing. By doing this you are able to achieve a test run of the home before forking out the entire sum. It is best to consider this as an extended test drive, allowing you to assess whether the home will be large enough and comfortable enough to cater for the requirements of your family.

As the prices of hotels and accommodation premises increase, buying motor homes is becoming more popular for those who regularly travel. It allows you to keep the price of holidays down and hence allows for more holidays in any annual period, and more ready cash for activities once travelling. With so many campsites all over the country and abroad, some of which are in sublime locations having your own means of transport and accommodation means that you are given the opportunity to see the most beautiful places while sampling the local culture.

Another way in which motor homes reduce the costs of travelling is that with a full kitchen, the cost of eating is drastically cut. While eating out in restaurants is pleasant, it can also be expensive, understandably having your own kitchen and the chance to cook your own meals makes eating while on holiday far cheaper. By taking a barbeque it is also possible to take advantage of the weather and engage in some al fresco dining.

As previously stated by buying or hiring motor homes it is possible to holiday for less money and enjoy your spare time immensely. While the initial outlay may be considerable, this cost is soon outweighed by the increased enjoyment of holidays and the pleasures of being on the open road.

In todays local news, FEMA will begin charging the rsidents of Greensburg $667 a month to stay in the trailers provided to them due to the tornado.

Katrina victims have yet to pay a cent for the trailers they still reside in, 3 years after the calamity of Katrina.

How can the feds explain this bold, yet almighty ignorant move?

They do not charge the Katrina victims for their trailers, and then buy/rent houses and apartments for them until 3/09, up to 1200 a month!

The following was released by FEMA Oct 1st 2008, and is cut and pasted directly from their website.
NEW ORLEANS, La. — The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) are working together to find apartments to house the anticipated 2,000 families that will be moving out of travel trailers or mobile homes and entering the rental housing market. In order to do that, they are asking landlords to register their available rental units to help link families with homes.

FEMA, through HUD’s Disaster Housing Assistance Program (DHAP), will pay landlords housing DHAP participants up to 120 percent of the fair market rental rate. In Orleans Parish, for example, FEMA will pay up to $1,188.00 per month for a two bedroom apartment. Payments will be made through March of 2009.

Individual support continues with nearly $1.3 billion to individuals and families:

274,758 individuals and families have been approved for the Individuals and Households Program (IHP) totaling more than $1.2 billion;
216,557 individuals and families have been approved for Housing Assistance totaling more than $851 million;
134,892 Mississippians have been approved for more than $416 million in Other Needs Assistance (ONA);
3,627 temporary housing units (travel trailers and mobile homes) in service. More than 39,000 units have been deactivated;
2,235 total occupied units in the three lower counties.
Hancock 507
Harrison 1,171
Jackson 557
More than 2,800 Mississippi families who are Katrina survivors have moved from FEMA temporary housing to a Mississippi Cottage. The Mississippi Cottage is a part of the Mississippi Alternative Housing Program, which is administered by MEMA and is funded by a $280 million federal grant.

WHen will this idiocracy STOP?!

I bet the best answer would be the fact that ther population of Greensburg was 99% white, working class individuals.
Whereas, Katrina victims are 98% BLACK, welfare recipient, pieces of trash. I know a cop that spent time in the Superdome with all the "refugees".
Rape, murder, theft, drugs……..thats what they did down there….not to mention the fact that they are slobs who expected the relief workers to pick up the mess they made and be waited on hand and foot

They are disgusting, and so is what FEMA is trying to pull here!

i am trying to rent a camper or trailer or motor home for the summer for an east coast trip. how much would it be? say, from vermont to south carolina for a month. i would think this would be cheaper than renting a car and getting motel rooms.

Boy — I don’t know if it really would be cheaper or not.

I looked into this at one time and weekly rentals were 1000 to 1200. Some places charged a weekly mileage fee as well. Then add in the cost of a campsite $20-40 for a motor home. AND finally the cost of gas – this summer at least $3.25 a gallon and figure 8-10 mpg. at best.

This puts your per night cost for camper & site alone at $150-170. I have to think you can do better than that at a moderate hotel. And a car that gets good mileage could be had for $180-200 a week with good planning.

Clearly you are computer literate, take the time to pack a laptop, and stop at a coffee and wi-fi site each morning, grab a coffee and score that night’s room at a discount travel site. Then hit the road for the day’s adventure, knowing your room is waiting up ahead.

If your heart is set on camping though, you might try craig;s list and see if anyone owns a private camper they might rent cheaper than a big rental outfit.

Happy Trails!

I want to rent in NY or NJ and leave in California.
