Maybe this is why I've never been motivated to go to Disney. I would have to sacrifice all of those vacations for 1 week long trip to Disney. This is basically the statement I make to people that go to Disney once every year but can't figure out how I manage to afford to go camping so much. Crazy! It's nice we all get to make our own choices though.
Have you factored in what your unit costs including payments, maintenance and insurance? Do you add gas costs as well or do you just include the nightly cost of the campground site? You are probably spending more than you think you are but you don't recognize some of the expenses as they are indirect. Not having our Endura allowed us to go to Denmark and Iceland last year plus St. John, USVI this year. Can't get the RV to any of those places. Unfortunately we don't have the luxury of time to take more than 2 vacation weeks a year right now. Even when we did have the different RVs we've had we'd still take a week a year to fly somewhere when we could. It just takes too long to drive to a lot of places from this part of the country.
