Can anyone give me details of what they have done?
Hotel, Crashpad, RV,
How long is the training footprint?

Trying to plan ahead of time and start saving $ towards this time so thats one lest thing to worry about.

Thanks
A couple hundred a month max for a pad or you can splurge for $40-50 a night for hotels, you can split with a bud, only need a room 4-5 nights a week . Footprint will depend on AC type, training delays at the time (varies a lot with AC) but between 1 to 2 months in most cases. Again, a couple hundred a month. While I wish DL would pay for hotels though initial sims, its honestly a minor expense.
