You know, the funny thing about 150 miles is that it doesn't seem very far once you have an RV. For years we put off going across the state for an attraction they had there, then once we got the AS it suddenly seemed like no big deal to drive six hours to go there. We went there three times this summer, took a long trip to the Napa Valley, and one great trip to the CO rally and on to visit friends in OK. We've never done road trips like this before, but suddenly we can't hardly stay home with that little trailer ready to go. Next year we're planning to head out to see Rushmore, and we can't wait!
The things we've seen, places we've been, and the freedom to literally pull off the road next to a lake and cook dinner before continuing on (which we have actually done more than once), you just won't believe it until you try it.
Definitly go to the rally and get a feel for the lifestyle. Then if you treat yourself, at least you looked into it a bit first, so you won't be kicking yourself later for not doing your homework. Personally, if we'd known how much we would love it, we might have bought a brand new one to start with. I love my vintage trailer, but sometimes I could do with a little less tinkering and a little more uneventful camping.
