2 Travel Trailers?

Whatever works for you. I wouldn't do two of the same thing at the same place, but two different places, yes. Sticks and bricks snowbirds do it all the time. My brother duplicates at Michigan and Florida homes everything he can't carry on themplane or ship UPS. I have a friend with five homes in two countries, what she can't carry with her is replicated at each location.

But it is a sort of funny question to be asking in a forum where the mindset tends toward "everything I need, I carry with me everywhere I go."

Not everyone has the same mindset. I have 2 RV's at my seasonal site. One stays on site and is very hard to get in & out. I have a second for guests and if I want to go somewhere else (plan on taking it to Yellowstone & Glacier). I have less money tied up in the second trailer then some people spend on a vacation. For me it works great (I don't have to tow 1800 miles) for others the may see no benefit.

I have a 1996 Coleman pop up, just bought a 2014 Kodiak. The pop up goes to my brother but I guess I still have two campers. I'll let him use my shower and toilet.

Some friends used to have a 38 ft 5er for snowbirding and a 24 ft 5er for summer trips.
The smaller rig allowed them to get into older/smaller campgrounds more off the beaten path

Years ago after the first time his young adult children left the TT a mess, a friend of my father's bought a new trailer. He would pull the old one up to the lake for the kids and their new families - but cleaning, etc was their responsibility.

He and mom stayed in their new TT - which slept two.

The first time friends or family left a mess would be the last time they used it. If they want room service they can stay in a motel.

I posted before and said our trailer was in New Mexico now. I meant it is in Creede, Colorado. Beautiful RV park, but is still a 12 hour drive from Tucson.

I have two trailers set up on side-by-side seasonal campsite --> friends and family stay in one camper, I and my partner in the other. It is great to be able to afford this.

Anyone ever keep 2 trailers at the same time? I just ordered a 2015 Jayco Eagle 338RETS and am thinking of keeping my old Hornet in my hometown, 1200 miles away, for use during short trips to family, usually several trips annually. The Hornet is paid for and in great shape and it seems that it would save quite a bit of fuel not towing back and forth. I can sell it anytime but just thinking. Does this sound crazy?

A lot of people on the forum have more then one RV.

I have 2 TT at my seasonal site 900 miles away and keep another TH at home.
