I totally forgot one of our main reasons for taking the RV on trips - our dogs! Bording or flying
dogs is not cheap, and it does the animals no good. I've not come across many motels that are 'pet
friendly' without some extravagant amount of money. And besides, our dogs don't like other peoples'
cooties and bed bugs.

Nope, a campground is the best place to take your animals. And, they can't be left in a tent. Ergo,
an RV becomes a necessity. But, yes, it's nice to have a campfire to sit around!

And, to be honest, if I had the bucks I'd have one of those big, beautiful, diesel pusher
motorhomes! When I see my buddy back his motorhome into a tight spot with ease, after I've just
sweated bullets passenger-side backing my trailer into a similar spot, I get mighty jealous.
