In Brief

Annie Wonderlich, 43, of Washington state, purchased a 1980s RV in February 2026 for $54,000 and transformed it into a dwelling resembling an English cottage. The inspiration came from a 2023 trip to the Cotswolds.
She spent about $1,800 on renovations. Monthly loan payments are $754 (according to another source, $754.14), and utilities run about $250. Wonderlich plans to alter the exterior so it no longer looks like an RV and to build a 200-square-foot shed for a walk-in closet.

Two years on the road with a cat named Zhuzu — and not a single day of wanting to go back.
