I've thought about building my new shop big enough to house our camper so we could use it for sleeping qtrs while the house was being built. I would put our couches/tv's and stuff inside the shop and right outside the camper's door. Pretty neat concept and would make a temporary solution bareable.

There's one kinda like what you discribed at Flamingo Lake RV Resort.
They rent it out.
YOu can stay in the RV or it is like a small apartment. I like the idea.
Wife and I have talked about building something like it

rv

I have always thought about just building a barn and housing a 40ft trailer in it as living quarters. When you wanna camp just roll up the door and pull it out. Makes the value of it stay because its clean plus you may get away with housing taxes if you can justify an ag exempt barn. Of course if your not single the wifey might have a big problem with this.

You can do what one of our neighbors did once. Follow this close so you don't miss any steps.

1. You get a bus. An old yellow school bus.
2. Remove all the seats and stack in yard.
3. Place for sale sign on seats.
4. When they don't sell due to A..nobody wants them and B...they've been rained on for two weeks, you pile the seats over the back fence.
5. Park the bus in the front yard, and proceed to make what we thought was a camper out of said bus. Which includes stove, beds, potty, fridge, ventahood that vents out the roof, etc.
6. Once conversion is complete, park bus as close to the side of your house as possible.
7. Use large saw to cut matching doorway in the side of the bus and the house.
8. Fill gap with expandable foam.
9. Using back porch steps on house as a support, run very large pvc pipe from potty in bus to hole chopped in cement lid of septic tank.
10. Find a gal to move in with you
11. Stay up late watching tv so all your neighbors can enjoy the glow of the show in the 50 windows you have that came built in already on your new addition to your house.
12. On days schedules for mowing, chisel all the foam out of the gap and let the giant chunks blow all over my yard.
13. Pull bus forward about 20 feet
14. Once mowing is complete, re-park bus and re-apply expandable foam.
15. Mow grass
16. On really cold days, add wood stove and stove pipe
17. Weld fire wood rack to back bumper and wake your neighbors with flashing lights at night as you open the emergency door to reach out and grab a log so you can "add another log on the fire"
18. Enjoy new addition of a rv/house.

FYI. This is all fact. Somewhere I have pics of all of the unbelievable events as they happened. We moved away. Te bus is still in place and occupied.

It sounds like you're complaining. I don't see the problem with any of it. You got free entertainment for quite awhile, he got a neat new apartment/addition for cheap money! PLUS, you had access to all those bus seats! You probably could have got them ALL for free if you hadn't been such a snooty, hard to please neighbor!

Well the only issue with the seats was they were all wet and moldy. Plus they looked like they'd smell like sweaty kids and I don't think the wife would have let me bolt them down to the liv room floor. He did make a nice aroma in the neighborhood as he burned old pallets for heat.
