Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
Any fulltiming active or retired clergy out there who treat their RV as their sole residence? My accountant tells us we can claim an RV (fifth wheel in our case) as our residence and exclude all expenses just as we could if we owned a house. The catch is we need to have a "fair rental value" of the RV to work with, just as we would with a house. How have you gotten and documented that information? Any suggestions?

I have done taxes for a pastor/missionary using a sailboat as his base/home/bible study room. We had no problems, but I made them keep a full listing of every penny in case of a audit.
I'm a retired Presbyterian pastor whose pension is designated by the Presbyterian Board of Pensions as a housing allowance. I've done one interim pastorate since retiring in 2010 but doubt there will be many more. I've retired to ride my bike, to read and poeticize, to savor this natural world in which we frolic, and to harass my family. I retain my credentials as a preacher creature, but at least for the moment I've put my certificate of ordination on file.
