The real cost of camping vs not
We just had our 5th totaled by the Ins. co. due to a roof tear that happened unnoticed during the season last season, causing 3 of the walls to delaminate. Big bummer for something that had only seen...

For us, the trailer is for camping. We don't "RV" in the way the many on this forum do it - we go camping in the national forests and parks. We go to mostly hang out in nature.
When we do destination travel, we generally leave the trailer at home, even if driving, because we have other reasons for making the trip that don't involve "camping". There is generally less hassle involved in checking into a hotel, going in and out from a location close to or right at the activity we are there for, No worries about using water or battery or LP. No decisions on whether it's time to disturb the campground by firing up the generator to recharge.
So we see it both ways. We live at home in a fixed, immovable house, but we trip out away from there both ways as necessary.
