Full-Time RV Living in Central Texas
Full-time is different from traveling. You need a mailing address, a plan for August heat and January freezes, and neighbors you can stand for more than a weekend. Here is how that works at Journey's.
Quick Answer
Full-time RV living at Journey's RV Park in Temple, TX runs from $500 a month plus sub-metered electric on a full-hookup site. Most residents stay long term, and the park is set up for year-round living rather than overnight traffic.
The practical questions
Most full-timers use a Temple PO box or a private mailbox service. Ask the office what current residents use.
Domicile
Texas is a common domicile state for full-timers. Vehicle registration and inspection are handled in Bell County.
Internet
Cellular hotspots on major carriers work well here, and there is an indoor WiFi lounge on property.
Weather
Hot Julys, mild winters, occasional hard freezes. Heated hose and skirting matter in January.
Maintenance
RV service and parts are available in Temple and Belton, plus mobile techs across Bell County.
Healthcare
Baylor Scott & White's flagship hospital is about 15 minutes away in Temple.
Why people go full-time here
Bell County sits at the center of Texas: Austin is roughly an hour south, Waco 40 minutes north, Dallas and Houston both within a half day. You can live cheaply and quietly and still be within reach of everything.
For military families at Fort Hood, full-time RV living also means you keep your home when orders change.
What we are honest about
Full-time RV living is not a fit for everyone. Space is tight, laundry takes planning, and Texas summers are genuinely hot. We would rather you visit, see a site, and talk with a current resident before you commit.
