cost of camping

Yes it has been debated over, and over. However. I have new info for me.

After the trip from hell last summer with 3, yes 3 blow outs. We decided to stay in a condo at the OBX, and share the cost 3, yes 3 ways. So we got the bill for our share of the deposit. :E:E:E. it is as much for the deposit as 5 nights on the ocean front at Pirateland. :( AND we still have the balance to pay.

This trip for one week is going to cost more than DOUBLE what a camping trip to Myrtle Beach would cost, and that is just MY part. All together, it will be more than 4 times the cost of camping. At this rate. 5 trips to the beach will more than pay for my camper.

So y'all can say what you want. It is WAAAAY less expensive to stay in a TT in a CG than it is to get a motel room, or Condo.

And for those that say. "You have to have truck". We don't count the truck toward the cost of camping. because I had truck before I bought a TT, and I'll have one after it is gone. Also. I will need the truck to take all our stuff to the condo as well. So the cost of the truck is a wash. If a man has a house. A man just needs a truck.

    IF you ignore the capital cost of your camper and all the additional costs over time to maintain it, insure it, etc. No one becomes an RVr to save $$$$$. :W
