Have you ever, or would you ever ....

No and No. There is just too much stuff that goes wrong even when you know what you are doing. Remember all your rookie mistakes? Pick the worst, roll the dice and expect the worst. Might loan them a tent or sleeping bag.

No because they have not asked. My kids could use it any time they want to but they still prefer tents.

We loaned ours to the brother-in-law and wife who traveled for almost six-weeks out west. Must admit they returned it in as good if not better condition. Stopped a couple of times on their trip to even wash it. But would I do it again, don't think so. I was super worried the whole time sweating blood. I'm getting transfusion now....

Yes, I would let one friend borrow. We would set it up and pick it up. They even mentioned letting us borrow their cabin, so we can take the kids skiing.

No other family or close friends like camping:(

WHAT PART OF NO do you not understand. NONO

Ahh no. When the family visits they stay in the fiver safely parked in our back driveway. I have offered to take it to a campground 1 mile away if they want a campground experience.

We rented from Cruise America over almost ten years. I figure they can do the same, right?

Friend? No. None of my friends knows the first thing about RV toilets, hot water heaters and propane.

Family? It depends. I would loan it to my daughter (21)in a hot second but not my son (28). She is very used to our TT and understands how to treat it. My son has absolutely no experience with a TT, at all.

As for other relatives, I would lend to my mom or my youngest sister--they both have TTs. I would lend it to my brother, who is experienced with large boats. I would not lend to my 350-lb sister and her 400-lb husband. They know nothing about campers and, frankly, I would be concerned about their weight breaking the dinette benches, plastic toilet and tub.

I have friends that think nothing of loaning me their airplane so they are more than welcome to any MH I may have.

We have let:

1. My brother and his family camp for a week at Hunting Island.

2. My DH's niece and her family camp at Gulf Shores State Park for a week.

3. A great friend from church celebrated her daughter's 16th birthday and had a slumber party with 5 other 16s for a weekend.

Now, with that said, we took the camper and set it up, then when they were using it, we went somewhere else (once on a mission trip close by; one time on a cruise and the other time, the campground was about 30 mins from home) while it was being used. We then checked it out, closed it down and returned it to our home. We would not let them tow it because none of them have any experience towing anything.

My other brother does have experience towing and I would let him borrow it, but he has no desire to camp.

Other friends, possibly, but if my toilet gets stopped up, THEY will have to come and clean it out. This is told to them up-front.
