Absolutely. I chased bad guys for 30 years..... Now retired, thank God.
I hate motels of any kind and that’s one of the reasons we bought an Airstream.
When we traveled across this beautiful country on a Harley, we had little choice but to stay in whatever motel we found along the way, some nice, some dumps—all full of chemical smells and other peoples germs. Just thinking about it makes my skin crawl.
Our last Harley trip was 9K miles and I swore then that I would never stay in a motel again, unless there was absolutely no other alternative. We like the B&B’s better anyway... when you can find one.
When I am traveling, I’m on guard almost every moment, but some places don’t worry me as much as others.
I now have my trailer and truck set up with 2 generators, a solar panel and two Trojan batteries, such that I could dry camp for as long as I would ever want to. Unfortunately, with all the jerks and threats out there anymore, I don’t feel comfortable with camping in unfamiliar remote areas, especially with my wife with me..... and that pi$$es me off.
Oh well, if I want to save a few bucks, we will occasionally camp at Walmarts, cop parking lots and maybe some churches.
I sure miss the old days when a person could safely cross the country with little more than a pocket knife, water and sandwich fixings. ;>)
Good luck on your trip with the Airstream...Sounds fun...Nice trailer too.
Don't forget the maids shaking down and looting all your belongings the minute ya step out.
lol...
