Legality and cost of full-time RV living in Wisconsin
© jsonline.com

According to the U.S. Census American Community Survey, 2,685 Wisconsinites lived in an RV in 2024, a 137% increase from 1,131 in 2019, compared to a 54% national rise. No statewide ban exists, but Milwaukee and Madison restrict full-time RV living: Milwaukee allows stays only in mobile home parks for up to 4 months per year, and vehicles over 22 feet are banned from residential districts. Average annual RV site rental in Wisconsin is $2,275, while median apartment rent is $1,086 per month, making RV living not necessarily cheaper.

German Federal Fiscal Court: Luxury motorhome sales can be tax-exempt

Germany's highest fiscal court has ruled that the short-term resale of expensive motorhomes is not necessarily subject to speculation tax. The decision stems from a case where a Saxon couple sold a motorhome for €315,000 a few months after purchase. The court classified the motorhome as an item for personal use, which is an exception to the one-year tax rule for private sales.
