Family of 4 sold everything to live in an RV at Disney World over 200 days a year — © Metrópoles

A family of four from Georgia, the Ewings, sold their home and bought an RV to live at Disney World in Florida. They park at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort, paying between $155 and $300 per night depending on the season. Expenses for a 26-day period CAN reach $8,000.

Park rules

Under Disney World rules, guests can stay at the campground for no more than 26 consecutive days, after which they must leave the property for 24 hours. This forces the family to periodically move out, but they still spend over 200 days a year (about 70% of the time) at the park.

Another couple in the US sold their home for $367,000–$370,000 and moved into an RV, aiming to reduce living costs. Their monthly expenses are around $2,000, but annual food and entertainment costs reach $24,000. Experts note that this lifestyle does not always save money: the RV depreciates, and constant moves create additional financial and practical challenges.

VanLife Weekly #17 · April 20–26

Greece has cancelled its own camper van ban — a year and a half on, as if it got cold feet. In Tenerife, 500 motorhomes blocked a motorway demanding the same — pitches and dump stations. In Miami, 200 families are being evicted from a motorhome park by September, while Córdoba is only just applying for permission for a new overnight area. Plus 21 kg of cocaine in a motorhome in Lanzarote, a fake eight-wheeled Mercedes-AMG G63 and a Starbucks coffee trailer in Seoul — in this issue.
