there is no reason to lug a 4,000 lbs brick around on my back while going for a day trip, is there?
There are lots of reasons to keep it on. Have a bathroom with you, charge the batteries, have a kitchen with you, have food with you, have your stuff with you, have your pets with you, take a nap, play cards, do crafts while your husband uses a spotting scope, etc.
I will admit English is not my first language so I am guessing my posts are very confusing to people. We are going to be staying with our horses in the desert in a camp that has horse corals etc. We need to go to town once a week to buy groceries, get hay. We also may go to town to have a cup of coffee, also planning on hauling our horses to local state and national park trails for day trips. What on earth would I need a camper for if I go out for coffee to a local coffee shop or if I go to get groceries in town or if I go to a local horse trail to ride all day? Waste of gas, more difficult to get around town/park/whatever, no need to carry my whole "mobile house" with me with all my belongings and leave it on some trailhead unattended while we are away riding our horses all day - all negatives in my mind. What is the gain? That I may need to go to the bathroom when I get back to the trailhead? That while I am in town, I may want to nap after shopping? I can do that when I get back to camp :). This is not a boondocking situation in the middle of nowhere, we are going to be in a proper camp. Yes it is a remote area (Big Bend in SW Texas) but it is not somewhere where we will be in camp the whole time in the same spot and not leave it for something else. What am I missing here? :)
