I have an RV. It has far fewer miles on it than it should. :-(
But, I don't actually go camping in any sense of the word, at least not as a general rule. This surprises some people but they usually get it once I point out that, you know, I already live in the woods. Going into the woods makes little sense for me. If anything, I should be going into a city for a change of pace - pretty much the opposite of camping.
And I fucking hate mosquitoes.
I would be perfectly fine exterminating mosquitoes as a species really I’m am totally okay with it.
What do you use the rv for then? See I live in the city so I have a reason to drive into the woods.
Pretty much nothing. It just sits in storage and gets regular fluid changes. It's got less than 25,000 miles on it - and I've had it for eight years. It's not worth anywhere near what I paid for it and I've gotten very little use out of it.
At the time I bought it, I expected to put more miles on it. I'm just as happy driving a car and staying in hotels. As it was, I'd usually tow a car behind it. It pretty much sucked in traffic, was no fun to drive, and just seemed like I brought too much stuff with me. I'm fine with two guitars and an amp, a suitcase, and two backpacks. I can stay on the road for a long time with just those.
If it were just me I could probably travel just fine that way, I’d probably just tent camp as it’s easier the only thing I would miss is the ac. However it isn’t just me and having a childproof door to keep the youngens from wandering off when camping is priceless.
