Duh! So, what's your point? Are you saying that you can't hike and

tent

camp in those areas???





I am saying I was not willing to drive to those places and trying to

pack your camping supplies on an airplane is not tenable.



At that point you are left with camping where you are willing to

drive.

My neighbor was an RV "camper" . He always had a six figure RV in his

driveway or in a paid parking lot facility (most of the time).

He always ended up losing about $50,000-100,000 when he traded them.

They were a maintenance black hole, got about 4-5 MPG on the road

towing another car. The campgrounds were not cheap and he still had to

buy food in or out.



I can't see the six-figure motorhome. At least I've got something to

drive when the trailer's hooked

up, and I don't have to tow a toad.



We sat down and compared his cost to me and my wife, flying 1st class,

staying in suites in nice hotels, renting an SUV and cooking in

or eating out.

We came away cheaper and we got a lot more actual vacation out of our

2 or 3 weeks (unless driving a bus is your idea of fun).



Absolutely, especially if his was a diesel. There is some time lost

driving, but much of this

country is nice to drive through. Kansas does get boring, along with

Nebraska, Oklahome, most of

Texas and South Dakota. But, there are sights to see in every state,

if one will slow down and take

a peek. My neighbor had a software program that calculated costs,

given various assumptions, and

camping often won out.,



Unless you actually go camping 4 or 5 times a year, locally, the hotel

is always going to be cheaper once you actually add up all of your

expenses..



We've been averaging about twice a month since we got the first

trailer a few years back. One of

the nice things about an RV is that you sleep without other peoples'

bed bugs!





Well, after all this talk I guess we can morph it a bit... our ideal

camper would be a four door pickup truck, with a slide on. For day

races, we could throw the bikes in the back of the truck, for

weekend/roadtrips, we would slide the camper on and tow the bikes behind

in the trailer, during the week we have a pickup truck for around

town...



What I really need is a commode and a shower, I don't mind cooking

outside. I don't want to sleep with the bikes, that's why I don't want a

long trailer with two sections, but having a girl racer, I do need two

separate sleeping areas.



If I could I would have one of those nice ones that squat down for

travel



Here ya go!

Everything you want in one place. Keep clicking the down arrow. This

is what's called a 'Toy Hauler'

fifth wheel.





Sure, that's what Jessi goes racin' in when we roll out with the team.

That's what we call a "FunMover" and it's the reason I said "I don't

sleep with bikes". I want my bikes in a trailer. Second, I don't know

about you but 1200 dollars gas for one weekend from Worcester Mass to

Unadilla NY and back is not gonna' cut it for me and Jess on off

weekends... Nice, but naaaa, not for a us.



Howjuh come up with $1200

Like he comes up with everything....those strange voices that echo in his empty head.
