FireFighter Retiring in a couple years

One thing I didn't see brought up was the fact that the larger/heavier your rig, the fewer boondocking options you have simply because you can't get that rig back into many BLM or Forest Service dispersed-camping areas. And even when you do find an appropriate spot, actually finding it unoccupied may be a challenge because everybody else with large rigs wants that spot too.

In my experience most the time you will be in the rig on your own so any extra space is just coming along for the (expensive) ride. Kids love tents (And parents can put up with a lot for the sake of happy kids, at least for a while!) and tents are inexpensive, lightweight and fit into small storage places where they can lurk without cramping your style until needed. Throw in a lightweight tarp that can be strung up over the tent and create a 'covered patio' and you have a 5-star setup, for a couple days at least.)

I agree. I keep getting caught up on possible trips inviting others to join me fishing on the coast but all they really need is a bathroom/shower/cook area close which would be my trailer so yea good point. I'm still a long ways away from getting a trailer and found several others i'm eye balling and actually looking at smaller ones to make sure I can go where I want boondocking. All this is very very big to me and all the research I can do and helpful hints is very helpful. Thank you all for support.
