Thank you for the input. I own a construction company that is growing and I can not get adequate office space besides my truck when out of town. I may just buy a house in the couple cities I do business in.
I did not know campsites were $70 a night, a hotel is less and gives you free breakfast.
Depending on where you are at, it is easy to find campsites at the $70 per night price.
Many high volume touristy places are up there, right now in season average price at Myrtle Beach beach front campsite is about $55 per night not including state taxes and other "local" charges. Put them all together and we paid just under $70 per night. You have to take taxes and other charges into account.
Additionally many campgrounds charge additional per person (the ones we have been typically have a base charge for TWO adults and TWO children so in your case you would pay an extra $2 per night for each extra "adult" PLUS additional $2 PER vehicle per night.
You seam to have a two fold problem.
One is sleeping space and the other you now mentioned is "office space".
Depending on what it is your business is doing (like construction) perhaps you should invest in a construction trailer office. Should not be hard to find one of those used for a reasonable price. They are built better for that purpose. RVs lighter construction may not lend its self to holding together under constant industrial usage.
Alternately if your heart is really set on this idea then perhaps look up custom trailer builders, these are the ones that often custom build combination horse trailers with living quarters.
Many will build them the way you want and most likely will be sturdier than any RV. Basically you could have them build two living quarters with a "shared" bath in between the living quarters (IE Jack n Jill bath). Depending on the length they may be able to make a small "office" space separate from the living quarters.
Something else to consider, some campgrounds may not be too happy with a "business" being operated within the campgrounds so if you have "clients" coming to your "office" the management could kick you out.
Personally I would be looking for an local "apartment" or small house to rent and setup a temp office and sleeping space if you are looking at more than a couple of weeks time at each work site...
Trust me, you really don't want to deal with dumping black and grey tanks as part of your business routine, it will get old in a hurry especially when dealing with other "adults" using the facilities.
Doesn't take long to get the dreaded "pyramid" in the black tank.. but takes a lot of time and water to rid the tank of a clog.
Not to mention dealing with water and freezing temperatures in winter time if that applies to your situation (camping in winter requires some changes in how you handle water and tanks).
