For me….it's just not about the money anyway.

Having a camper has saved me no money. Where I go, I would never stayed at a motel. ( music festivals ) I would just van/tent camp, if I didn't have a camper.

I don't think having a camper saves very many people, very much if any money. Sure there are some people that save, but if they didn't have a camper, they wouldn't be taking 6 week vacations anyway

If we did realistic cost accounting, I think it would show.Take the cost of…

#1 cost of the trailer and hitch, brake controller etc
#2 Having to have a beefier Tow vehicle
#3 campground fees
#4 propane
#5 insurance
#6 maintenance, repairs, tires
#7 dumping fees, tank treatment
#8 diminished MPG to and from
