Like someone said start off in the rv. That would be cheap try a new town every two weeks. And I’d you’re getting a 43’ toy hauler you’re going to have a bad ass rig that’s over 110k itself. I just bought a 38 or 39footer. Grand design momentum 349m I’m living out of with the dog right now.

Orlando area and north is much more enjoyable; more forest, more tracks, more affordable real estate (if there is such a thing in Florida now). South Florida has become a cesspool of high priced 55+ communities. Land that once was a central point for people farming and raising cattle/horses is being rezoned at blinding speed to accommodate more of these. I am counting down the days to move out of South Florida and back to St Johns or Leon county.

If South Florida is a destination, just do your due diligence in seeing what any local HOA may or may not require. Dozens of storage facilities are being built in Palm Bech Co, mainly due to increased demand of people needing space to park boats, RVs, etc. due to more HOA saturated areas. A lot of this certainly depends on your needs for your family (schools, employment, salary) vs. your personal desires (bustling city life or more peace).

I’ll tell you they say the momentum’s are hands down better than the raptors. The raptors are a little more expensive because of the name brand. I’ve had a handful of issues right off the bat with this one. The dealership has been horrible but through me calling momentum they took care of everything for me. Even though I bought a $7,000 3rd party warranty through the dealer....

One part I broke on my own I called the dealer to buy they wanted $65.... talked to LCI they gave me the part for free even though I told them I broke it and they told me replacements are only $39.99....

Anyways with luck I’ll be down in 2 years. More than likely leaving my rv at a permanent site and buying a house elsewhere for the warmer months.

Also I was looking at the 381 and a bunch of campgrounds around here don’t have room for them if you want to drop the back door into the patio. And I’ve found tri axles to be nothing but a pain in the ass and another set of tires to replace. With the 381 If you’re looking to haul bikes and a sxs or something I’d go with the tri axles though....

I moved to Palm City 6 months ago. Best decision I could have made. Good luck!

I am looking to move but only because I want 20 acres with a track and pond again. I live in one of the best neighborhoods in my area, all 1 to 5 acre estate properties very close to the beach. A house doesn't last a week for sale here in my hood and my two already have a waiting list from neighbors family members wanting to move to Florida. I sold a few of my rental properties last year and gave one to my daughter and we just want to kick back and do everything and/or nothing on a farm basically. I love my neighborhood but it is too social honestly and we have outgrown it. Been here 16 years. I am looking for 10 to hopefully 20 acres on the Caloosahatchee River to build on and have some water to play in too. Helping our elderly family members with dementia seems to be taking most of our time lately too which has slowed the moving process quite a bit.

I have a house in Jupiter on the east coast. Palm beach county, it’s really nice but expensive. Very close to some great beach’s and 1 hr drive to FCP & Mesa park. 2 hrs to Orlando Mx. I know We could be closer to riding spots but I really like being close to the ocean. One thing that sucks about the East coast is, I have not found a good single track/ GNCC type riding spot. The west coast has Croom, which is awesome when it rains. You have to be far enough south to always have the warmth, I like it 80 & sunny all the time! I visited friends in Red Rocks beach last weekend, thought about looking at some houses, ,had to drive through Tampa......pretty heavy traffic jams...Told my wife, not buying a house on the west side of Tampa, I would have to deal with that traffic every time I went riding....I think north side of Tampa would be fine....

Just say no to HOA.

For $500K you can get a really nice place in a nicely developed area almost anywhere with at least half an acre. Like you said, get a nice concrete pad, alongside the house or behind the house and keep everything tidy.

Take a look on the HWY 27 corridor between Clermont and Sebring. Plenty of communities that will not only allow RV's, but have shelters built off the houses to accommodate them. Central location with easy access to Orlando and Tampa or south towards Ft. Myers.

I live near st Pete in a town called tarpon springs. If your trying to be near a city, then st Pete or Tampa hands down. Barely any moto in south Florida, and Orlando sucks.

Best moto living would Probaly be living like a hour north of Tampa, cheap too. I’d be living up near brooksville, but I got to be next to the ocean (about that boat life)

I have used a place in Sanford 5 minutes from the airport for years now . It’s called Park 4 Dayz. A little north of Orlando with lots of places to ride close by. It has swipe access, video monitored, block fence around the entire area, black water dump and if you want parking spots with plug in. I’ve left my stuff there every winter now for8 years. Very happy

I'm right on the southern end of Wellington; a small community that encloses a separate community. Just to north of us, several new condos and zero-lot line communities are in the process of being finished, and the county recently purchased land to build another high school. Our address is technically "lake worth beach" though everything for us is in Wellington or just south to the west end on Boynton Beach Blvd.

I work in Delray/Parkland, so get to experience the excitement that is traffic on 441 or the turnpike on a weekly basis. A business associate lives in Boca off camino-real; lots of old coquina type homes, but that area in recent years has been a "hotspot" for people to buy and restore those older homes as he did. If I had to option to live in Boca, that would be the area, especially the further east and closer to downtown. I also had a condo for several years in Juno Beach, which I loved, but made the commute to work challenging and pricey. If I could do it again, I'd buy in Juno Beach in a heart beat between PGA Blvd and Military along US1, despite skyrocketing HOA fees.

Our winter has been nice; only 2 weeks of "cold" in the 60s, every other day since late November has been 75-82, though we did have a recent string of tons of rain. 2 years ago winter sucked; 88 every day and no relief, year before that seemed it rained every single day. Ya just never know...

Places to ride near Ft Pierce and Okeechobee still, though not as prevalent as central-north Florida. FTR just had 2 hare scrambles in the last 3 weeks in Indiantown, with a third coming up in Okeechobee, so if you want quality seat time, expect that schedule every year in late Jan-early March.
