Mrs. abb and I have a theory about folks who use trailers and RV’s instead of staying in a hotel: they’re people who have to tote all their ‘stuff’ with them when they travel.
“Mrs. abb and I have a theory about..”
We RV 4 months a year. We take our
Clothes and Pets. RV’ing is not for everyone. Judging others by your own standard is not kind.
Or maybe they’re just people who think hotels suck. Or travel a LOT which makes hotels very expensive. Or maybe they’re people who like spontaneous travel which doesn’t work well with hotels. Or maybe they’re just plain smarter than you and Mrs Abb.
Mr. Bigg Red and I have a 28’ travel trailer. We like to take several vacations each year, and, for us, pulling our camper to a state park is a great way to do it.
Why?
- Cheaper than staying in a hotel (which is why we can take
several and not just one vacation each year).
- I like the idea of sleeping in my own bed rather than in
one that strangers have used before.
- We save money on meals because I prepare some of ours
instead of buying all of them out.
- Hotel management usually frowns upon the notion of guests
building a campfire outside the door of the room.
But this is what works for us. To each his own.
I think you’re right. When we are travelling, we have our “stuff” but we also have a small overnight bag that we use when we get to a hotel. We leave all the stuff in the car. Easy in - easy out. Have a nice dinner at a local restaurant nothing to clean up. Breakfast in the hotel, nothing to clean up or pack up.
