To me it's a hassle waiting and waiting at the gas pump while $60, $70, $80 or more in fuel goes into the tank. I prefer the brief time it takes to pump $30 of gas into my little TV's gas tank. BTW it's also a hassle to work all the extra time to earn this additional money for fuel, not to mention the hassle of earning the money to pay for, insure, maintain, repair, etc. a bigger dedicated TV. Compared to that option, I'll gladly apend the 30 second extra set-up time of my little Aliner, as it would take more than 30 seconds more just to fill a huge TV's gas tank at each fill-up. :W

You don't get in to RVing because it's cheap or to get good gas mpg.

If you want cheap and to get good gas mpg Motel 6 is your best bet.

While there is nothing wrong with an Aliner or Trailmanor, using these methods to camp there are more compromises, thus is why you see a very small number of these type of trailers in campgrounds.

Sure, life's a compromise. To each his own. There's no "right" choice. They sell $20 tents to million dollar Class A's and everything in-between. When they build a Motel-6 where I have a view like this through the window:

(and I can catch rainbow trout from front porch)
or this:

then I might do just that.

Until then, I'll camp in my tiny Aliner, enjoying all the comforts of home, including a king sized bed, cassette potty/shower, 3 way fridge, 3 burner stove, microwave, air condition, etc. on a budget I can afford. When I retire (in 5 yrs) to a full-time mobile lifestyle (and have no other abode, but must carry all my possessions on my back like a snail) it will be in a 34ft travel trailer. Until then...
