i find it hard to believe you will save any money. the cost of parking the trailer, the fuel to pull it, and most importantly heating it will add up quick. a cheapy motel (often found near ski areas) will not be very expensive. If your worried about food thow a couple coolers and a camp stove/microwave whatever in the truck though if you do it right you can eat out cheap as well.
hi Jebby, thank you for your opinion. I have been "cheap-moteling" for a very long time. Not sure what it is like in the West, but on the East your assumptions do not apply. To find a cheap motel, say $60/night, requires planning well in advance and the place will be no closer than 1/2 hr to 45 mins from the mountain. I am just tired of the logistics and want to try a different approach, even if the costs will be more or less the same.
