Default How we use our 5th wheel Camper

Other than camping when we go to a wedding, we can go in street clothes and change into formal for the ceremony, then back to street wear for the dance.
My wife has her own bathroom for changes, make up or get a aspirin, ect lf needed.
We can go the day before with no need of a motel room for $120
On shopping trips to the city we have our own bathroom and have no need of public washrooms or restaurants.
Family reunions, auction sales have same use benefits.
If interested I have one advertised in the buy and sell.

I guess you could park it downtown and rent it out in 15 minute intervals. Would help pay for it through these tough times.

Save $120 on a hotel room, spend $500 on fuel to haul it there and back. Makes perfect sense.

Have an exmotherinlaw that would spend 60.00 in gas to travel 3 hours to save $35.00 on a pair of shoes at an outlet shoe store. Those types are out there....

My dad was that type. He would spend $3 on gas to drive across Lethbridge to fuel up and save a half cent a litre....total savings of fifty cents.

If you only wear your formal clothes for 20 minutes, you can return them to the store after for further savings.
And the royal reserve in your trailer will save you money at the toonie bar.
You can't afford not to have a trailer.

I thought it was clever and don't begrudge you.
If everyone did that though we'd be overloaded with click bait crap threads.
Just sayin'

But is it people who are shopping for a trailer, or people who are curious to see how you live on the weekends?

Default Camper

Unless it is a wedding or something similar, we don`t go out on weekends. To many idiots out, busy hiway and crowded campsites. We usually spend 40-50
days camping each summer. Fishing, berry picking, hunting and trips for photography.
