What's your setup? How often you get out? Any cool road trip stories?

One time Peej fingerbanged his sister-in-law or cousin or niece at a trailer park.

That’s all I got.

Ive rented them 3 times. Did a 4000 mile road trip from BR to Carlsbad Caverns, White Sands, Cloudcroft, Saguaro NP, Sedona, Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Painted Desert, Petrified Forest, Route 66, and back to BR. Was a fun trip

Not me, but if you travel I-12 between Hammond and Baton Rouge, there’s always $1B worth of inventory in view from the interstate. So, I’m assuming there’s a lot.

Nice. I was looking at renting one and doing something similar. Then in my research thought man if I end up enjoying he rental I might end up buying one.

Used to have a freightliner toter with a 53’ trailer both with living quarters for racing. We’d stay at the track to save money.

Coolest story was mooning the speed cameras in Arizona going to the street car super nats in Vegas. Getting those tickets in the mail made me LOL. I didn’t pay them.

I've rented twice, had a great time. Glad I rented instead of purchasing. Yes renting is expensive, but not as expensive as owning.

I've been from Florida to California in a RV, the worst roads by a long shot were in MS and LA. That's all I got.

I am in Georgia, I rented from Lighting Rentals in Lawrenceville GA. But the last time I rented was in 2020 and I'm sure the prices are much higher now like everything else. Look them up online for an idea of what the prices are for the different models.

Just did a quick glance at a couple sites, looks like 200-300 a night for decent quality.

That's not camping, it's glamping.

Hope you stayed in the right lane the entire trip, instead of a lot of assholes doing 5 under in the left lane!

Ask about the key club when you get to the campground.

I rent vs own right now. It’s easier in some ways and storage for one is a bitch.

I love the fact everything I need is at hand and we can boondock pretty much anywhere.

We did a trip from Dallas to eastern Colorado to Wyoming to the black hills to eastern South Dakota and back a few years ago. Over 3,500 miles in about 3 weeks. Great trip.


After my youngest graduates high school I’m getting one and living in it full time.

I'm retiring somewhat soon and am looking to get one. Currently have my eye on this one. Yes, it's small, but it'll just be me. I don't want a rolling condominium.
Just need a place to sleep, shower, and shite. The rest of the time I'll be outside.

Checking in. Spent November 4 - 28 in the Keys. 2,400 R/T. Drive until tired and stop at a rest area or a Cracker Barrel for 2-4 hours sleep. Rinse and repeat.

Don't. Imagine all the problems you have with a home. Imagine all the problems you have with a vehicle. Now, combine them.

Also, if you ever have the misfortune of having something go wrong......good luck.
