I don't really have a campground to walk around anyway :) Not yet anyway. The last time I was camping was 1993 and that was the low tech tent kind of camping. Prior to that I used to go all the time, back in boy scouts we went once a month, usually in PA and MD. Now I want to get back out there :) My girlfriend's neighbor has a huge 5th wheel that they take out a few times a year, we don't really know them though. Been meaning to go chat with him.
Here's some other new questions I came up with.
Do all RVs have to be level or is that a class A thing? And why do they need to be level anyway, for your water tanks? What if I'm "boondocking" in the mountains and there's just no kind of level area?
Since we probably won't be using it in the winter months. I would say probably from around october to april, and realistically we would probably just take it out for a few long weekends maybe 3-4 tiles a year. Is it bad to let your RV sit that long? Do I need to do any kind of general maintenance while it's sitting around? or do I have to go drive it around the block once a month to make sure it's all working ok?
I found a self storage place nearby that stores RVs, it's about $50 a month for outside and $150 for inside. Is it worth storing inside? That might end up being a little too pricey for us.
