RV\'s What is the Attraction?
My wife and I are considering buying a trailer, well she is, I am not. Please do not take this the wrong way BUT I do not understand the attraction of a motor home or a pull trailer. You stay in a park with your neighbor 10 feet away and get to listen to his AC running all night. They charge you to stay at a park, cost of the trailer, vehicle to tow it with, $$ for gas, you get to clean and cook the entire trip. If you spent say $80K on a unit, I know you can spend a lot more or less. But if you stayed at a nice hotel say $100 a night and ate at a fine restaurant for $75, you can spend 457 days on the road. We just came back from a 3 week vacation and stayed at a Marriott Hotel with 2 bedrooms, full kitchen, with a sitting room in the Boston area for a $100 a night.
What are the benefits of owning a trailer? I have been to all of the lower 48 states by car/minivan and usually take 6 weeks of vacation each year. Am I missing something not having a RV??? /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
HELP, wife is talking about this ALOT. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
