Fifth wheel as a guest house

So since 2006 my fifth wheel has been parked behind my house when not in use hooked to a 50 amp service, satellite hooked up and water if needed, level pad and now for the first time I get to do what I always thought would be very cool.

Friend are being transferred to Cali and will be without a house for one week. There gonna be at out house but at night they will be able to have their own space in our fifth wheel which I think is pretty cool! Told my wife they could have the house and we could use the camper!!!

    We do that, too. We pull out the awning and set up lawn chairs, too. It's pretty cool......I even stock the kitchen for snacks and drinks. :) :)

    I like your thinking! What was your wife's response?
