So, what are my other options? If I am going to sell my RV because maintenance and repairs are so expensive and it is loosing value rapidly, I have 3 other options.
One, take out a mortgage to build a real house. I don't want to do that. I am tired of paying off large loans and I don't need a big house. I would have to continue working for 10 more years at least. Maybe later.
Two, buy a used manufactured home for $30k. This would require me to work for another 2 extra years, manufactured houses don't maintain their value very well around here, and I don't need that much room.
Or three, spend about $5k making my current mobile home livable with new wiring, paneling, patching the roof etc....
After seeing those building costs I am leaning towards option 3. If I am really going to be a snowbird and spend my summers somewhere else then I don't need a fancy home here. Plus the mobile home is here already. It's kind of a blank slate. I definitely couldn't do anything to depreciate the value any more. I think it is worth more as scrap metal than as a home.
