Hee hee hee, try sleeping in a roadside rest stop where RV's are forced to park in the big rig parking area. What? Sleep in a Wal-Mart parking lot? Lessee only a 39 mile diversion off the interstate or is that 390?
Generator/AC camping is EXPENSIVE. Down here when diesel was FIFTEEN CENTS a gallon, I had to drive 82 miles round trip to Chetumal, to fill up drums.
I found it FAR cheaper to move to an RV park in Chetumal where the daily rental with hookups cost $11.00 (dollars). This is based on 24/7 operation and being an MBA I am partially convinced I can use a calculator and track all expenses.
Except for the neighbors and noise issue this is a pretty cut and dried calculation. No way on earth is generator A/C camping inexpensive, then or now. If the object is "No Money" that's one thing, if "Money is no object" that's quite another. Another skew is the number of hours accrued annually. This is not a cut n dried "Yes/No" decision.
