125 miles maximum…I prefer making short trips too but to really see this country that’s not workable mileage.

I think they are confusing
- 54% of trips are under 200 miles
versus
- 54% of campers never go more than 200miles.

I can certainly believe the first. Lots of people I know do weekend trips and a lot of those are under 200miles.

But most of those same people will take a trip or two per year that goes well beyond 200 miles.

Of course, it's the marketing department, so it may not be confusion so much as intentional misleading.

Nah, there are plenty of folks who buy an RV to go out 3-5 times a year to party near their house. I'm not sure how they justify the expense, but it's not my money. I've put just under 10k miles a year on my tow since I got my fist trailer, but I know that puts me in the top 1% of owners.

I don't know. I've done my share of tailgating and such. I know people who do nascar races... and I've not met anyone who doesn't have at least a trip or two per year in excess of 200miles.

The only ones I can think of who don't have seasonal sites and the RV never moves, so the propulsion fuel is irrelevant.
