Jay Sold Our 5th Wheel

Is this ever some good news. My husband, Jay, sold our 5th wheel this morning. We've had it advertised on Facebook for about five months. And we couldn't start building our new home, until we got rid of that monster. We are paying insurance on it, plus we don't have anywhere to store it. Tawas City won't let us park it on our lot. This is an answer to prayer! We took a lesser amount for it, which really doesn't matter. The important thing is, that 5th wheel has been sold! The buyers will set up a date after Thursday, to meet with Jay and sign over the title. This is such a relief, knowing that this problem will be over with. Photo: Mine from last spring

That's good news indeed. Our big bus took a long time to sell.

@kobesbuddy There isn't a big market for some of these bigger vehicles.

@JudyEv We had two people view our fifth-wheel. Not very many people can afford to buy one! And it cost a lot of money, to haul one around on the highway!

We have owned it for going on two years and Jay used it one time. It costs a fortune to travel with it!

@kobesbuddy I didn't know that. For some reason, I thought you lived in it for a time in-between rentals. But it's good that you sold it, I know they just cost a fortune to haul around.

@kobesbuddy I have a friend who had her house on the market, and wanted to downsize and buy a smaller home. She owned a 5th wheel. Her house was scheduled to close one week before the closing on the one she was buying, so the moving company picked up her things, and she planned to live in the 5th wheel for a week. One day before the closing of her new home, the seller decided to KEEP it! She was so, so disappointed. She had to rent a home for awhile, and have her belongings moved to that, because she couldn't find one in the area she wanted to be in. What a mess. She was, however, glad to have the 5th wheel to stay in. She did sell it for the reason that it was just too expensive to drag it around, and she said she was just tired of the expense and the experience.

@kobesbuddy Ah, OK. Does it really have only one wheel?

@TheHorse Nope,, I think it has four-six wheels. We parked it in an RV park, lived in it last summer.

It's basically a small trailer, that hitches onto the back of a person's truck.

@RebeccasFarm We aren't worried about the money. If they couldn't pay us, they wouldn't have purchased it.

@kobesbuddy - Not here, because the land is extremely expensive, only the larger cities have RV parks.

A fifth wheel is too expensive, to haul around from one place to another.

A lot of money is wrapped up in a 5th wheel, far too expensive to use!
