Does anyone have experience with the Sambucus Mexicana. I'm in Southern California. Or do you discuss this species in your book?

I'm considering an r.v. so I don't have to pay high property tax. Also, I was just going to shower at the gym and have a solar system for power. I don't plan on being in Temecula during the summer. I'm deciding to live in different places for weather conditions and enjoy moving around.

I'd like to get a cheap piece of land where I can park my r.v. somewhere between Lake Elsinore and Escondido, so Temecula, Pala and all that works. I've called building and safety and it's been hard to figure this all out.

I just want an r.v., tiny home, or something inexpensive.

I don't think the county or any city will want you to "live" in it outside of a trailer park, only allow you to  "park" it on your property. Although cities will probably be strict and the county would be hard pressed to cite you for "living" in it and not just "parking/ storing" it and a waste of the counties time. Especially Riverside county which has bigger issues with all of the large scale illegal pot growing and budget constraints.

I'm new to all this and I'm looking to find people that are knowledgeable about where I can build a tiny home or put an r.v. on a piece of land.

It's quite challenging. An actual tiny house should be certified as an "RV", so buying a normal RV is definitely an easier way to go about it. You can legally live in an RV in any permitted RV park. But you can also legally park your RV on any rural residential properties in Riverside county. Cities have their own rules about parking RV's.

It would be challenging to be fully off grid with only solar  panels during our 100+ degree summer weather. If you could find a property that already has a functional well and grid connection you would save yourself a lot of hassle, and money on full battery storage. Maybe just as an emergency backup?

We have made some progress on our property and now have chickens, pigs, and a sheep. I installed a 5,000 gal. water tank and hope to install 800 feet of main gravity fed irrigation and 3,500 feet of drip line.

We are still looking for a couple like minded people who would like to farm and live in the country while being close to the city. We have some off grid/ on grid solutions. Please email me with any questions kshears@outlook.com

Yeah I'm going to try to find out all I can from the county first. What do you think would be the best way to find people that would want to be a part of this type of community? I've already posted some information on a couple different websites.

So by keep it legal I just meant with the Tiny houses as opposed to other structures that the country would take issue with. I don't want marijuana grown/ smoked or other drugs on the property but that is a separate issue. As far as I know both tiny houses and solar panels that are not connected to the grid do not require permits.

We are looking to start up a small tiny house intentional community on our 10 acres of mostly usable pasture. We are 20 minutes outside Temecula/ French Valley/ Hemet / Aguanga. We were wanting to keep it off grid and we're thinking of charging a monthly rate that would include a personal organic garden area. Farm animals would also be an option. Would this be the best way to keep it legal and earn revenue? I am new to permaculture and would like to learn and introduce permaculture aspects over time.
