2 RVs?

[pasusan]

We have a trailer and tow vehicle that we love and they work really well for us, but we've been yearning for a small drive-around RV - like a class B - for short 1 or 2 night trips.

We'll be retiring next spring and plan on taking longer trips out west and further south - and we feel we need the comfort and space of our current trailer. But, wouldn't a B be great for day trips and some overnights?

We're waffling about it as there would be more maintenance and obvious extra expenses... It's one of those opportunity cost questions... If we *can* do it, should we?

What do you think? Anyone have 2 RVs used for different situations?

Here is our adopted children.

Yes, we have 2 toy haulers, one stays at campground and the other we pull to Nascar races and bike rallies. Just easier that way as the one at camp site is a pain to break camp, remove, then pull back in and set up camp again especially with a deck.

We have 2 original is a 32',1996 Cruise Master which we ordered from factory. We love it and have enjoyed it immensely over the last 20 years. But even though it is well maintained and in great shape don't think we would take any long trips in it. So, in August we bought a 2008 Four Winds class C to travel a little farther from home a few times during the season. It will also be used by our daughter and son during the season. Daughter has already joined us for a couple of weekends at our local state park. If only for that reason it is well worth the money we've spent to purchase it and to bring it up to par. Family time is important to us. We just got back from a week in lower northern Michigan in the C. It was great. As has been said, if you can afford to have 2 why not.

We had this setup for a few years when we worked on the road. Not seen in picture is the Wife's Oldsmobile.

I have a a TC and a fifth wheel. We usually use the fiver as it it not overly big, but the TC can go places the bigger one won't.

We did that, too - and liked the nimbleness of the TC so much that we sold the 5er (opted for a condo to Snowbird in)

We are seasonal in Florida in a 38 ft. Fifth wheel, which leave on site. Travel from stick house in 30 ft. Class C, which we use for travel in the summer.

We have a Class C and briefly considered also getting a 13 foot Scamp trailer. Decided it was silly to have 2 rv's, so finally decided not to.

We have Snow Bird friends who have a large 5er on a site in Florida and travel back and forth in a smaller 5er that they use for summer travel, and another couple have a TT for back and forth and summer travels.
I often wish we had kept our first 5er, a 35' two slide unit for some of our summer travels.

I've toyed with the idea of getting a small truck camper that fits on my current truck.

OP here - thanks for the replies. 🙂

We're starting to look for the perfect small B...

How fun is this?

I thought we were strange owning two RVs. Now, I found out there are others of us out there. Like some of you we use the Outback for boondocking in places I can't or won't take the MH. Did our final summer boondock trip last week. Now, prepping the MH for a three week trip to Utah to hike and play in the dirt.

If tents count as an RV, then count me in for four! All depends on if the wife is going with me and where we/I will be going.
