Many years ago we went Beverly Hillbilly style. Four boys age six to eight. One teenage girl and her friend. Mom and dad and sister in law:
All with a pop up. Me and two girls in the truck, mom and two boys in the car pulling the boat with bicycles in it and sis in law with two more boys. The girls slept in the bed of the truck under the camper shell. They loved it! The rest of us slept in the camper. Oh we were a sight to see. We had a great two week road trip and many many weekend and short trips. I don’t even remember having any fights. It can be done for way less than 30 grand and still have a great trip.
However it winds up I hope y’all have great results and fun trips!!!

This goes in the best direction when considering a camping adventure for a large group.

When we were camping with my sisters and their families, the single biggest crowd was four of us in one truck towing a trailer. Another sister and BIL had their own trailer, their kids a tent and a van; another couple their own trailer and TV; another family their own trailer and TV...you get the idea. There was no such thing as 8-10 in one vehicle and no 8-10 sleeping in one trailer.

I've seen other extended families/groups with more than one or more vehicles and multiple tents and/or RVs.

A tent gazebo would be great for enjoying the outdoors and if the weather turns messy, would offer more room than crowding into one rig.

Guess what I'm recommending is skip the motorhome or trailer for now (you're already tight on money); suggest your grown, adult children drive their own vehicles with tents and stuff. If YOU want a trailer or motorhome, by all means. But go with what works for YOU. Those grown young people can tent just fine and the kids will love that.

Keep us posted with what you do decide and by all means...get out there and have some fun!
