Significant advancements in shale oil fracking and horizontal drilling are causing oil companies to aggressively pursue every Texas shale play. Major shale plays, including the Eagle Ford and Barnett shales, represent huge opportunities for oil companies and the many who work for and with them as they pursue these vast natural resources.

The very large number of people moving to the areas to support the shale plays has made it extremely difficult to find affordable housing in these shale play areas. As an example, it is reported that the Pecan Grove RV Park is almost at capacity and that hotels in Kenedy, Texas are completely booked and expect to be so for at least the next five years. Almost everywhere, workers are finding hotels, apartments, and other places to stay are full. Many RV parks are being built in these shale play areas to accommodate workers and companies that are purchasing RVs as temporary housing. One of the things that someone may want to consider if they are thinking of moving into the Texas shale oil play areas is temporary housing in the form of a recreational vehicle.

Temporary or emergency housing needs can be solved, in many cases, by purchasing a used travel trailer, 5th wheel or motorhome. An RV provides living, dining, and bathroom facilities anywhere you want to set up your alternative home. With all the comforts of home, oilfield workers can live comfortably in their home away from home.

The savings offered on these used RVs, when compared to the often significantly higher cost of new ones, makes purchasing a used trailer, 5th wheel, or motorhome an attractive option for solving your temporary housing needs. Many choose to buy one of PPL's consigned RVs so they can use it as temporary or emergency housing and then resell the unit after they no longer have a need for it. By buying a used RV, the cost to you is reduced when you resell the unit in the future. You can solve your temporary housing needs with the confidence that comes with dealing with PPL, which has been selling used RVs on consignment since 1972.
