Might want to compute your ACTUAL use costs and see how very little they change by going camping. IF you're paying for the RV that continues whether you camp in it or not. Maintenance still is required even if it's sitting in the drive way. If you pay to store it, costs don't change just because you don't take it out. Insurance usually is about the same if you tow/drive the RV 20,000 miles a year or 20 miles a year. Campground costs actually SKYROCKET if you only go say once a year and amotize all of those other costs all into that one night.
If you OWN an RV and plan on continuing to own it, and don't go camping in it it becomes a VERY expensive hobby :)
We will just have to disagree. On a week at Myrtle beach. We save over $3000, for a week in the TT VS a week in a condo. In 6.7 trips, the Tt is paid for, So it has already paid for itself. That is not counting the money saved on countless mountain trips.
Honestly. IF we did not camp, We would not be able to vacation hardly at all. We most certianly would not be able to travel to different cities, or to spend a week at the beach, or several weekends in the NC High Country.
