For my family there is no better way to travel. If we are going on vacation the trailer is too. We own our trailer and truck so for the time being it is definitely cheaper. We camp just over 40 nights a year with 2 weeks of that split between the beach and for the last 5 years Disney Fort Wilderness. Both of these places would be thousands and cost prohibitive for the amount of time we spend there. Any condo or rental right on the beach for a family of 4 would be a couple thousand at a min. We do it for 500 and IMO way more comfortable. We can walk out of our tt and be on the beach in a minute. Staying at one of the Disney resorts other than the Fort would make a 7 night trip prohibitive. We would not have gone back each year and certainly not for 7 nights. Trips to the mountains we take are less then renting a cabin but a hotel would be less on these trips. Who would want to stay in a hotel in the mountains? Like others have posted we can do all this in the comfort of our trailer with all the comforts of home. For the places we travel in this part of our lives it is certainly much cheaper. The best part for us is the family time we have and the memories this lifestyle affords us. We did not get into the lifestyle to save money and would do it even it was much much more. This is how my wife and I always traveled from tents to pop ups to a hybrid and now a tt. I’m fortunate my wife has loved it as much as I do and our kids love it too
