When to realize it's not worth it

As I mentioned, we were going to have to get my daughter out school early, plus I would of only had a few hours sleep from working the night before. All in order to try and be there before dark. Now we can leave when she gets home and I've had 6 hrs of sleep or more. My wife won't have to follow me in the car which we will need to go to where my family is staying. And did i mention hot tub? Woohoo! Lol

No, not cabins at Cade's cove. But over in wears valley.

Sorry I was referring to your post above.

Fuel is a different story...for us the Suburban is our road trip vehicle, it's got the room in case DW sees a "must-have-bargain" somewhere LOL. So I get 10 mpg on the highway empty and 7 towing the RV, so the fuel premium for me is only 3 mpg.

For a 200 mi trip, that's another 8.5 gals of fuel, and at $3.50/gal only adds about $30 to the trip. Plus you save on meals and snacks having the fridge and kitchen handy.

That said, we don't always take the RV either...it's not good in the winter months and not good if you need to be either downtown somewhere or there is no good RV park nearby....like where you can get at least electric so Momma can have her coffee pot and hair dryer....

Not trying to get you to change your mind, only pointing out that it's apples and oranges to say "RV I must arrive in daylight and cabin I can arrive after dark". Price of fuel is a whole different thing.

PS to gale, still over at Kenlake, hopefully will be on the way home tmw.
