I just bought a new MH. I did ask the dealer if I had to stay in campgrounds all the time. He asked, "Why would you ask that?"
I told him, "The people on RV Net tell me I have to stay in campgrounds and should never sleep anywhere else or I'm cheap."
He laughed.
Some people are just uptight and not happy unless they are in everyone else's business, especially if it involves the great American institution of Wal Mart.
I was looking for a check and sorted my online banking by payee. We spent $8,700 at Sams Club last year. I didn't bother adding up all the WalMart purchases, too many to bother.
Holy smoke, if I sleep in one of Sam Walton's lots every once in a while, I earned it!
As for cheap, I have spent more than $100 per night at campgrounds for a week at a time. One local spot with few amenities charges $80. We like the location and it is kept nice. We use it while attending a yearly festival. We usually drop several hundred at the festival (if I can keep my wife distracted from spending)?
Yeah, drop 100K on an RV, take a trip, spend $1000 on gas, $750 on campgrounds, oh, and stay at Wal Mart a couple nights along the way and you are cheap.
So, call me cheap if you want.
You don't know me.
