Maybe some day I'll get an RV and be a land nomad. Who knows. But I think I'm more suited to FL or TX.

Many of my neighbors have Ford F250 trucks and moderate size "5th" wheel trailers. Many of them head north to the Island Park area (lots of lodgepole pines) on a Friday night and return late Sunday night. It's not very different from the southern Cal folks running out to the desert with trailers, trail bikes, dune buggies, etc on a Friday. The water rats pull their boats to the big reservoirs to fish and ski. Some cart jet skis. The mountain bikers are out as soon as the ice clears enough to ride safely.

In the winter, the big trailers are swapped out for smaller ones to carry 2 to 5 snowmobiles. The ski racks get a workout as well.

The value of dragging a trailer around is that you can relocate when the surroundings cease to meet your needs. I haven't been bitten by the trailer bug. A day trip to Yellowstone or the Tetons is fine. I can grab a hotel room if I want to stay overnight. I'll be room temperature before the cumulative cost of the hotel rooms equals the purchase price of a trailer and truck big enough to haul it.

And I'm already maintaining a humongous hole in the water welded to a pier as it is.
